Nothing Has Power Over You Until You Hand It Over | DIVO- Ted Talks
We give power away in subtle ways every day, usually without noticing the moment it happens.
⸻
Quote from the Episode
“Nothing has power over us except that which we give power over us.”
⸻
Description
We often believe that situations, people, or circumstances have power over us, especially when life feels unpredictable or overwhelming. In this episode, I unpack how that belief forms and how it quietly shapes our actions, emotions, and sense of freedom. I talk about how realism rooted in past experience can limit possibility, and how fixation and labeling keep us stuck in cycles that feel impossible to break.
I also explore how yoga and Ayurveda approach healing through awareness rather than force. By developing a consistent practice, we learn to recognize patterns, notice shifts, and respond instead of react. Power is not about control. It is about clarity, steadiness, and remembering that change is always possible when we stop surrendering ourselves to what no longer serves us.
