Personal power is when you stop placing conditions on when you will and won't be okay.

Okayness is a feeling, not a fact. It's a story you're telling yourself.

Your brain has created a set of conditions and is holding your nervous system hostage. If life fails to meet your expectations, your body is thrown into a stress response.

You're trying to regulate your emotions by controlling the outside world. But the problem is not what is or isn't happening. It's how you FEEL about what is or isn't happening.

The facts themselves aren't threatening. Just your feelings about them.

Personal power is an awareness that your mind is the source of your emotional discomfort.

You can give yourself permission to be okay…and practice being okay…even when life doesn't go as planned. You can learn how to skip the part where you're stuck in emotional angst.
