⚡ 5-Minute Action: Power Language Audit ​
Set a timer for 5 minutes. Review your recent messages, emails, or conversations. Circle words that diminish your power (just, maybe, sort of, kind of). Rewrite three key messages using power language. Notice how different it feels to communicate from your centre of power.

🔄 Worth Reframe: Quiet Power ​
Power isn't always loud or visible. Sometimes it's in the quiet moments of choosing yourself - declining an invitation when you need rest, maintaining silence when others rush to fill it, or standing firm in your truth without needing to convince others.

📚 Curated Resource: “How the body keeps the score on trauma” videoby Bessel van der Kolk. Understanding how to reclaim your power through body awareness and healing and discusses how the widespread of existence of trauma, manifests in our body and impacts our power.

Each day this week, set one boundary that honours your energy. Maybe it's saying no to a request, taking a break when you need it, or speaking up about your needs. Notice how each boundary builds your power.

​WISDOM WHISPERER​
​

Why this whisper? Lorde, a warrior poet who spoke truth to power, reminds us that true power isn't about fearlessness - it's about choosing to act in alignment with our values despite our fears. When we connect with our deeper purpose, fear becomes less relevant. Our power isn't in being fearless; it's in being committed to what matters most.

​
​Remember: Reclaiming your power isn't a single moment - it's a series of small choices to honour your truth, one conscious decision at a time.
