Finding and using your inner power source is a quite successful way to deal with tough times. While many people choose to use other means of support during these times, achieving your ambitions by using the strength within provides a method no amount of support or wealth can replace.
The ability for a woman to grab hold of self-empowerment is dependent upon the skills she is able to learn. Empowered women are already on the path leading to accomplishing their goals as well as satisfying the needs of their family, their community as well as their own as individuals. Others have them, but need only develop them further.
The Elements of Empowerment
Whether is be economic, political or social, empowerment has many faces. The reasoning behind many women seeking empowerment could be a matter of personal development. Empowerment allows women to find within themselves the necessary resources needed to overcome hindrances as well as hardships. This whole process feeds on itself. By being a pro-active woman you improve self-esteem and effectiveness, boosting confidence and self-image all while earning the respect of others.
Disempowered people are most often finding themselves marginalized by a variety of forces seemingly beyond their control-whether in the family, workplace or in the community. No matter what the particular situation may be, what becomes fundamental is individual empowerment. Any situation of group empowerment relies heavily upon each individual having developed their own positive outlook, motivation and skill in order to proceed with the steps able to make a difference.
Women Empowering Themselves
With much having been done in the area of gender discrimination, it is more likely to find women still amongst the rank of those who are disempowered. This type of situation is most often found in the family and workplace settings. There is a clear solution to this issue: more women need to build upon and claim power for themselves. This achievement may have its own particular method to follow. By starting with personal empowerment, the thought and work needed to conquer any goal is much more readily found.
With this realization of self-potential, women are better equipped to take on more complex problems. There is proof to be clearly seen in this regard worldwide, for example in African and many more under-developed countries in which it's possible to find women's initiatives which have empowered not only themselves but whole communities.
Empowerment Strategies
Education: Education enables women to discover ways to achieve their goals. Knowledge is power. Knowing the options available for the tasks we want to accomplish is essential to making the best decisions.
Skills for making decisions: It becomes much easier to make confident and positive decisions when you have a better knowledge of those choices available to you. Education can provide you with the analytical skills you need to help with the evaluation of risks, as well as the opportunity to choose positive and appropriate decisions.
Thoughts and attitudes in a positive light: Any type of defeatist or pessimistic attitude has the ability to destroy motivation, thus preventing people from that important first step needed to improve their circumstances and their lives in general. With numerous psychological studies showing patterns of negative thinking being alterable with cognitive therapies, it is possible to move ahead and take charge right now. Simply starting a gratitude journal can be a very important step to maintaining a positive attitude.
Self-esteem and confidence-building: Education and a track record of achievements, no matter how small, can boost confidence and self-esteem and foster initiative. Initiative is a matter of creative thinking, knowledge and confidence.
Interpersonal/communication skills: Good skills in the area of communication can make it easier for things move forward in life, especially those things that require you to have the ability to be persuasive and co-operative with others.
By developing their skills and awareness, individually or collectively, women can empower themselves in order to realize their potential, with benefits for themselves and their loved ones. - 15634
