Personal Power Process: 3 Steps and 15 Days to a More Powerful You
Written by Lindsay Kenny
This is an amazingly simple process, with potential big payoffs. It can help you move toward self-improvement in a focused, easy way. Even before completing the entire personal power process, you should begin to feel the shift. Choose to make this easy…because it is. Just reading about this process won’t help you. You need to actually DO it.
Get your pad of paper and a pen (or use your computer) and start now!
The First Steps To Personal Power
Step 1
Write down 20 things positive characteristics or attributes about yourself.
Examples: I’m intelligent, resourceful, compassionate, kindhearted, a good friend, play the piano, am intuitive, great with animals, speak two languages, etc.
Write down whatever is true for you. If you can’t think of 20, ask someone who knows and loves you about some of your positive characteristics.
- No set-up required
- Tap on each attribute (one at each point) for 2-3 rounds
- Do two sequences a day (morning and evening are best)
If negative thoughts come up for you while doing this such as “I’m not really that smart,” or “I’m not anything exceptional,” then write those down to tap on. Do not do this process comparing yourself to anyone else. Simply note the things that are good about you.
Step 2
Write down 10 things for which you are grateful…your pets, your health, where you live, your friends, your mother-in-law, and so on.
- Tap on your gratitude list every day, one statement on each point.
- Add something to the list every day that you are grateful for from that day. It could be a compliment from a someone, or how you felt when you helped an old lady across the street, or completed a task you’ve been working on. It could be finding a $20 bill in your coat pocket or a good parking space in the rain.
Step 3
Write down 5 things you would like to change or improve about your character.
Examples: I want to be more confident, more certain, more intuitive, more insightful, less angry, less bitchy, less messy, less lazy, etc.
3a. Now, take out the words “more” or “less” to make each statement positive and definitive.
They should be like this: “I want to be totally confident!” (instead of just a little more confident); “I want to be certain in my attitude and communications” (instead of more certain); “I want to be kind and accepting of others” (instead of less bitchy); “I want to be clean, neat and orderly” (instead of less messy).
Be definitive. Say what you really want. “I want to have great energy and feel excited about doing things!”
3b. Next, rate how your ownership NOW about each of the characteristics you want, on a scale of 1 to 10 (with 10 being you really own that already)! For instance, if you want to feel completely confident and self-assured, rate how confident and self-assured you actually feel now (zero would mean not a all).
3c. If at any step along the way you notice resistance or a “tailenders” (which is a programmed limiting thought or other negative belief), stop and tap on that resistance, thought or belief.
Example: “Even though I don’t believe what I’m saying is possible…” or “Even though I don’t deserve to feel that way…” or “Even though I don’t believe this can work…I do WANT to be (or feel) that way.”
Your 15 Day Program
First Five Days
For the first five days, do three rounds tapping on each of your definitive statements at a different point, using an “I want to” statement. No set-up necessary.
Example:
EB point: “I want to have clarity in my life” then
SE point: “I want to be joyful”
UE point: I want to be patient”
UN point: “I want to be calm and relaxed”
Again, use a “desire” statement while tapping at each point for two rounds, stating the five things you want to improve about yourself.
Days 5-10
For the second set of five days, tap on each point using a different kind of “desire” statement at each point. Simply change the desire words “I want” to “I allow (or choose).”
Examples: “I allow myself to be focused, I choose to do things on a timely basis, I allow myself to experience joy…”
Days 10-15
For the third set of five days, change your statements to “I am…(or I have)” such as “I am confident,” “I have peace of mind,” “I am optimistic,” or “I have joy.”
Notice the shift by the end of the 15th day. Then rate yourself on a scale of 1 to 10 and see if you’re at a 10 yet on each statement. If not, you still have some work to do. Just acknowledge yourself for how far you’ve come, but keep going! If you’re stuck and your numbers aren’t changing, then you need to find the cause for that, such as how your parents or siblings treated you, a life-altering trauma, etc. Then tap those away too!
By completing these simple processes, you will grow, shift and start experiencing more personal power. Focusing on what you want instead of what you don’t want or don’t have. It will get you unstuck and on the right track.
This is not clear. Could you help please.
In Step 1 it says “Do two sequences a day” with your positive characteristics. It does not say how long, despite thsi is a “step 1” and there are next steps and steps are to be taken one after another. The same in the Step 2 – doesnt say how long I should do the gratitude tapping. And the same in Step 3. Then, it turnes out that what we should be doing so far is not the 15DayProcess because this is something else.
And I am sure I am intellingent enough to be sure that this instrucion is not clear 😉
Gracias señora Kenny. Voy a iniciar este programa, y le contare los resultados. Este es el segundo articulo suyo sobre EFT que encuentro, y ambos me han llegado cuando los necesitaba, además de que son muy completos. Nuevamente muchas gracias. Dios la siga bendiciendo.
