Are you unconsciously giving your power away? Are you giving and giving not realizing you are putting yourself in a position where you are not where you want to be? Those who are natural caregivers tend to give away so much of themselves they forget they have their own desires and needs. It isn't until their own vessels are empty and they realize how dissatisfied, tired disempowered or stressed they have become. In order to reclaim our power we need to understand what triggers us to give it away. Is it because we want to be seen as caring, adequate, responsible, competent or even perfect? Is it because we are afraid of being alone, criticized, or verbally attacked? In order to take back our power we need to stop thinking we can control negative circumstances or negative responses by others by handing our power over to someone else. If we continually give our power away eventually we feel we have lost control of our own lives.
