Empowerment is just that – power within. It is about coming from your authentic Self and being willing to live the creative life that you are born to lead. Confidence that comes from this center is as about as unshakable as one can find in this human experience.
Confidence is not about acting as if; it is being, knowing who you really are. With this type of core confidence comes living with ease and grace instead of worrying about what everyone else is thinking about you. So, who do you think you are?
Generally whatever most people come up with, I call the “Mental Me”. The Mental Me is the story of who you think you are. There is an area of the brain that records “autobiographical memory”, the story of who you think you are. Interesting. Am I saying that the stories of our lives are made up? Essentially, yes, it is what you remember it to be and memory is formed with thought plus the emotional charge attached to it, which forms feelings. Feelings are hanging out in your body, memory hidden at a cellular level.
The ego is another name for the Mental Me. Ego is not the enemy; it allows us to have a sense of identity. If you live in a human body, in order to be a social being, you need to be identifiable, right? Also, you have unique gifts and talents that need human expression, correct? Then we need this ego to play the game of life.
However, when you get lost in the story of “Mental Me”, you lose sight of the true you, the “Magnificent Me”. Confidence that comes from this center, the Magnificent, True Self, does not get hooked by all of the external voices of comparisons that live in the world of all the “Mental Mes” out there.
Until you can release the memory patterns of the memory of “who you think you are” and let go of the self-limiting stories and old programming that hold you back, you can forget about “Law of Attraction” and co-creation in general. As long as Mental Me is at the helm, the old records in your nervous system’s “Mental Me” program will continue to run your show. You want to play on a bigger stage, want to write a new script? Learn how to tame the Mental Me, for true empowerment is an inside job!
