Amma JO Magazine: Step Into Your Power!

We all have power. We all have an innate ability towards greatness. We were born for this. We were destined for this. So many times in our lives, situations and circumstances come up and we feel like, ‘What is going on?’ Sometimes, we feel helpless. Hopeless. Down and out.

Honey, you’ve got POWER. Yes. You have ability. You have a force inside of you and it is released when you take ACTION. You have something great you’re supposed to accomplish in this lifetime and everyone is waiting to see what you’ve got. Act on who you are. Act on what you know. ACT on that power inside of you and get it working.

This year has already started and if you haven’t realized it, time waits for no man! Time keeps ticking. Every moment is offering you the opportunity for greatness. Move your dream forward.

Here are three easy ways to tap into your personal power:

1) GET RID OF THE STUFF. I know it sounds crazy but most days, we are inundated by STUFF to do. STUFF we have to work on. Event STUFF we have to go to. Volunteer STUFF to do. Extra STUFF. STUFF. STUFF. STUFF. When you set out to pursue your dream, you’re going to need to shave off the things that are weighing you down and eating up all your time. Look at your life. What are those things that you can cut out of your day to dedicate to working on your dream? It could be your favorite show that’s eating up that 2 hours of productivity. It could be that one committee that you need to give up. Find where you can make cuts in your schedule to work on your dream. Even if you don’t know where to start, begin by taking time to write down what you want to do.

2) SHARE YOUR DREAMS. Something absolutely FANTASTIC happens when you start sharing your dream. Go and tell 10 people your dream. Share it. You know why? When you do, you’ll begin to find resources. Those resources come in a number of different ways. Advice is a resource. Mentorship is a resource. The internet is a resource. Relationships are a resource. When you speak something and it falls on the ears of the people around you, you get your network working for you!

3) FORGET ABOUT HOW EVERYTHING IS GOING TO WORK. Have you ever looked at a river or any body of water? Do you notice how it just flows? Become like that. Just flow. Most of the time, when we think about pursuing greatness, we OVERTHINK how everything is going to happen. Forget about that. Put your plan together the best you can and just move. You’ll see your plans change as you go along, but it’s ok. You’ll never know what happens next until you step out.

4) JOURNAL. So many times, we have so much going on inside of us and we never just get it out! Get your thoughts OUT! Write down what you’re feeling, whether it’s good or bad- just get it out and you can resolve it later. It’s so healing. Go to the store and buy a few journals. Try your best to write daily how you’re feeling. Write down your frustrations. Vent. Don’t feel guilty about it. Write down possible solutions. Write out your dreams. Write out what you imagine. Write down what you want, what you see, what you believe- EVERYTHING. There’s something that unlocks within you when you get your emotions out. Keeping frustration bottled up is toxic. Stepping into your power involves capturing your wildest imaginations and daring to act on it. Writing will help get out the junk and bring you closer to your expected result.

It’s time, y’all! Now is the time to take that shift and take that change to live the life you’ve always wanted and dreamed of. Tap into your power! I hope you are inspired by all the wonderful content on my blog and in Amma JO Magazine! I’d love to hear from you. Hit me up at goammajo@gmail.com
