The goal of Empowerment 365 is to create a foundation for personal Empowerment. We began this process by introducing and combining the Empowerment tools of gratitude, forgiveness and humility to assist in creating balance in your life. Each day we began the day with practicing gratitude. First, begin each day with thoughts of appreciation for life and health. Without those things we could not truly enjoy life very much, could we? We then discussed and implemented the practice of forgiveness. Forgiveness is important because we have to release and let go of past events (people, events, actions activities of self an others) to fully live in the present. We must forgive ourselves for actions and choices of the past. We must remember that we all can learn and grow from each experience in life and that each experience prepares us for our future. Lastly, there is the practice of humility. Humility is important because we must learn to become humble. This requires us not to be boastful, prideful or arrogant. Concept places value on others the same as we would ourselves and being of service to others in our daily lives. We promoted love for self; this love for self is not a selfish, self centered love, but a true genuine love for the person that YOU are on the inside. We then discussed the importance of our thoughts and the way we feel each day. Our thoughts and feelings are an important part of our lives. They both are internal and both can shape the way we experience the world. Begin to practice making all of your thoughts and feeling positive and productive. Make the way your feel the most important thing in your life today and each day. We introduced the concept of personal development (to work on self) and effort (to simply try) as tools of motivation and direction within the process. Throughout this Empowerment process, we have sprinkled in and defined key word such as, intent, focus and commitment. As the days and months continue to pass by, YOU will experience through your own ability to consistently work on self "change". Change and personal growth is what Empowerment 365 is really all about! I wish you continued success on your journey toward personal development and self improvement each day, everyday one day at a time.
