Taking Back Your Power: Mini Series part 4 Sadie Scott

What I’ve discovered on this journey is that taking back your power isn’t something you do once and then you’re done. It’s a practice—just like yoga, meditation, or any other ancient teaching. It’s about showing up for yourself, consistently. It’s a commitment to your growth, your energy, and learning how to stay in a higher vibrational state while navigating life’s challenges.

This has been a huge shift for me. I’ve come to see that personal power requires more than just setting boundaries or shifting your energy—it’s about emotional maturity. Facing those hidden parts of myself, even when it’s uncomfortable, has been transformative. It’s not about getting rid of the ego but evolving it. That’s how I’ve started to level up in my life.

Emotional Maturity and Shadow Work

For me, shadow work has been the key. It’s about uncovering those deep-seated patterns I didn’t even realise were shaping my life. At first, it felt daunting, but now I see it as essential. It’s part of why we’re here—to evolve, to grow, to move beyond those old survival mechanisms and step into something bigger.

The more I’ve faced my shadows, the more I’ve realised how freeing it is to let go of the beliefs and reactions that no longer serve me. It’s not easy, but the sense of lightness and clarity that comes with it is worth every uncomfortable moment.

Tools That Help Me Stay Aligned

I’ve found that staying in alignment takes consistent effort. Life throws challenges, and I’ve learned that having tools in place makes all the difference:

1. Gratitude Journaling
   Writing down what I’m grateful for helps me shift my focus when I’m feeling low. It’s a small practice, but it anchors me in the positive and lifts my energy.

2. Affirmations
   I use affirmations to rewrite the old stories running in the background. Replacing fear with trust, doubt with confidence—it’s a daily reminder of who I’m becoming.

3. Meditation and Breathwork
   These have become essential for me. They help me clear the mental clutter and reconnect with myself, especially when things feel overwhelming.

4. Movement
   Whether it’s a walk in nature or stretching on the floor, moving my body shifts stuck energy. I’ve noticed how much lighter I feel afterward.

5. Energetic Boundaries
   This has been a game-changer. Visualising my energy field and releasing what’s not mine helps me stay grounded and protected.

Embracing the Practice

What I’ve come to realise is that this work is ongoing. It’s not about reaching a final destination; it’s about evolving and growing, day by day. The more I embrace it, the more resilient and aligned I feel.

So, I ask myself regularly: What do I need today to stay in alignment? How can I honour my energy and keep moving forward? This process has helped me reclaim my power and live more authentically, and I believe it’s work worth doing—for ourselves and for the world.
