“There is a soul force in the universe, which, if we permit it, will flow through us and produce miraculous results.”
-Mahatma Gandhi
How do the words above resonate with you?
Pause here for a moment and free yourself from distractions:
Take a deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... deep breath in... exhale slowly... calm your mind and be present...
I believe the “soul force” Gandhi speaks about refers to the power we are born with. That everyday power we often underestimate.
Iyanla Vanzant describes power this way:
The power wants joy, peace, perfect health, abundant wealth, and loving relationships for us.
The power is the living spirit within buried beneath the personality, ego, perceptions, fears, and doubts.
The power is the truth of who we are.
How can you use your power to create more freedom in your life? Think about that for a moment...

How to Create More Freedom in Your Life: (by Tanaaz, foreverconscious.com)
1.) Release Shame: Brené Brown states, “Shame cannot survive being spoken. It cannot tolerate having words wrapped around it. What it craves is secrecy, silence, and judgment.” The next time you feel ashamed about something, speak up either to yourself or to someone else. Apologize or own it, but don’t allow your shame to hide.
2.) Follow Your Own Path: Very often, all you have to do is just listen and the path unfolds for you. We are all here on our own journeys and it’s up to us to dictate and chart the course of our lives.
3.) Step Outside of your Comfort Zone: Change up your routine and try to do something different. Often this changes your perspective on things and it allows you to see things in a new light. It also helps you to learn new things about yourself and challenges you to grow and develop. By finding freedom in the little things, it will also help prepare you to make those bigger changes.
4.) Let go of Limiting Beliefs: We all have that voice in our heads that tells us we are not good enough, but learning to silence this voice is the most powerful and loving thing we can do for ourselves. The world deserves to see you. You deserve to shine. Allow yourself to be You. Be authentic, and own your true feelings. People are going to respect you for who you are and not what they want you to be.
“The power is available; all we have to do is invite it forward and move out of the way.”
-Iyanla Vanzant
