Choice – Are You Empowered or Depowered?

Hhmm is depowered a word? I’m not too sure, but let’s go with it just for me.

Like so many things in life, it comes down to choice or choices.

Are your choices going to empower you or remove your power? Are you going to take back power and control or give it away?

Every day we make so many choices, but what about your health and wellness choices? Do you know how to empower those choices and empower yourself when making those choices?

What happens when you are at an appointment with your doctor? Or sitting down with a specialist? Do you feel empowered or not so empowered in this instances? How about when choosing how to move forward tackling health issues?

Do you know what things can take away your power in those circumstances? Or more accurate who or what you release your power to? So often we can just feel like people take power away from us, but is it more about who is giving them that power? Are we giving our power away? Allowing others to take control?

As usual friend I don’t come here with all of the answers but questions, just a few ways to poke you and maybe get you thinking about something a little differently. I also don’t take this conversation lightly or assume that these are easy things to figure out. Oh no friend, some of these things and knowing how to handle them, can be very difficult.

If you don’t feel empowered in circumstances related to your health, how do you increase you power or freedom to make choices? If you don’t know any ideas on that, I encourage you to think about it more. What do you need to do differently?

As we face a new year, we tend to think more about our past year’s choices and our future year’s choices. You and I may not know what things will come up and what things we will need to think through and take action on, but the one thing for certain is that it will happen. We will all face these circumstances at some point in the future.

Maybe a new year’s resolution you could have is to take stock of the different situations you face in any avenue of your life, maybe some of the more difficult situations and ask yourself, how much power do I have here? Am I giving away my power? How do I get power back? What is the choice I need to make and how much room do I have to make it?

Friend, truthfully no one else but you can answer about how empowered you are. You know what you have done and what you need to do. It’s a personal decision but I encourage you to really think about this and make whatever changes you need to.

I am praying for you to have the wisdom and courage as you navigate this.
