A gentle guide to identifying where you’ve given away your energy and how to start honoring your own needs again.
There comes a moment on every healing journey when you realize that love — real, radical, unconditional love — begins not with someone else, but within yourself.
And before you can fully embody that love, you must first reclaim your power.
We often give our energy away without realizing it — in relationships that drain us, in jobs that undervalue us, in patterns of people-pleasing, or in chasing validation from the outside world.
But every time you abandon your own needs to keep others comfortable, you hand over a piece of your power.
Radical self-love asks you to call that energy back home.
🌙 Step 1: Recognize Where You’ve Given Away Your Power
The first step to reclaiming your power is awareness.
Ask yourself:
- Where do I say “yes” when my soul means “no”?
- Whose approval am I still seeking?
- When do I silence my truth to avoid conflict or rejection?
Your answers will reveal the places where your energy leaks — and the people or situations where you’ve been giving too much of yourself.
Sometimes, it’s subtle: staying in conversations that don’t honor your peace, keeping old habits that drain your spirit, or constantly putting others before your own well-being.
Awareness isn’t about blame — it’s about clarity. You can’t shift what you don’t see.
🌷 Step 2: Release the Guilt Around Putting Yourself First
Many women have been conditioned to believe that self-prioritization is selfish.
You may have been taught that being “good” means being selfless — but when selflessness becomes self-erasure, your light begins to dim.
Radical self-love means releasing guilt for choosing yourself.
It’s remembering that boundaries aren’t walls — they’re sacred gates that protect your energy and keep your heart safe enough to stay open.
When you honor your needs, you’re not rejecting others — you’re simply refusing to reject yourself.
🔥 Step 3: Call Your Energy Back
Sit in stillness. Take a deep breath.
Say to yourself — or out loud:
“I call back my energy from every space, situation, and person that no longer serves my highest good.”
Visualize golden light returning to your body, filling every cell with warmth and wholeness.
You are not missing pieces. You are simply reclaiming what was always yours.
This simple energetic practice can shift your vibration instantly — from depleted to divine.
🌼 Step 4: Reconnect to Your Inner Voice
Once you reclaim your energy, you’ll begin to hear your intuition more clearly.
That quiet voice within — your higher self, your inner guide — will begin to whisper truth again:
“This feels right.”
“That doesn’t serve me anymore.”
“It’s time to rest.”
Start honoring that voice, even in small ways.
Follow the nudge to rest instead of overworking. Speak your truth, even if your voice shakes. Say “no” without apology.
Every time you listen to your inner guidance, you strengthen your relationship with yourself — the foundation of radical self-love.
🌹 Step 5: Create Rituals of Self-Honoring
Reclaiming your power is not a one-time act; it’s a daily devotion.
You can turn small moments into sacred rituals that remind you of your worth:
- Morning: Set an intention — “Today, I choose to protect my peace.”
- Throughout the day: Pause, breathe, and ask — “Is this choice in alignment with my energy?”
- Evening: Journal or pray — “Where did I show myself love today?”
Each intentional act becomes a declaration that says:
“I am whole. I am worthy. I am no longer abandoning myself.”
🌙 Closing Reflection
Radical self-love isn’t loud.
It’s soft, steady, and rooted in truth.
It’s the gentle act of choosing yourself again and again — until it becomes natural, until it becomes sacred.
When you reclaim your power, you stop searching for validation in places that were never meant to sustain you.
You realize that everything you were looking for was already within.
So today, pause and whisper to yourself:
“I am coming home to me.”
And that — right there — is where your healing truly begins. 🌸
