Vulnerability is a Super Power

ByAmey

I talk a lot about learning that my vulnerability is a super power over the past five years. One thing I still get hung up on is when/how to be vulnerable at work.

According to Culture Works HR, 60% of Americans struggle to maintain a healthy balance between their professional and personal lives.

Quora says that vulnerability is natural and should be embedded within any company’s culture. “It creates trust and promotes acceptance and empathy when giving and receiving feedback. It also helps with effective problem solving and decision making.”

According to Toner Buzz, 85% of companies that offer work-life balance programs report an increase in productivity, while 33% of employees with a good balance say they plan to stay longer in their current role.

The fear of making connections and being vulnerable can stem from various sources, such as past traumatic experiences, fear of rejection or abandonment, low self esteem, or a lack of trust in others. This is true whether in your personal or professional life.

So how can you change that?
-Focus on building self awareness;
-Practice active listening;
-Share your thoughts and feelings appropriately;

Do you have a difficult time being vulnerable? Try a few of these to help get you started.

  • The Power of Self-Discovery: Uncovering Your True Identity

    ByAmey

    In my journey as a Self Discovery Speaker and Author at Resilient, I’ve witnessed the profound transformation that occurs when individuals embrace the journey of self-discovery. It’s not merely about finding oneself; it’s about delving deep into the core of who they are and uncovering the essence of true identity. Join me as I explore the empowering process of self-discovery and its ability to illuminate the path toward personal growth and fulfillment.

    Embracing Authenticity

    Authenticity serves as the cornerstone of self-discovery. It involves peeling away the layers of societal expectations and external influences to reveal the authentic self that lies beneath. Embracing my own true authenticity has been liberating, allowing me to honor my unique qualities, quirks, and passions without reservation.

    Navigating Life’s Challenges

    The journey of self-discovery is not without its challenges. During my journey, I encountered obstacles and setbacks, testing my resilience. However, these challenges served as opportunities for growth and introspection. By confronting adversity head-on, I was able to cultivate a deeper understanding of myself and emerge stronger than ever before.

    Finding Purpose

    At the heart of self-discovery lies purpose. Through self-reflection and observation, I unearthed a profound sense of purpose that drives me forward each day. As a Self Discovery Speaker and Author, I am passionate about helping others embark on their own journeys of self-discovery, empowering them to uncover their true identities and live authentically.

    The Transformative Power of Self-Reflection

    Self-reflection is a powerful tool in the journey of self-discovery. By setting aside time for relaxation, meditation, exercise and other forms of stress release, I gained clarity on my values, beliefs, and aspirations. Journaling, and mindfulness practices have been invaluable in fostering self-awareness and guiding me towards personal growth and fulfillment.

    Embracing Change

    Self-discovery is an ongoing process of growth and evolution. It requires a willingness to embrace change and step outside of your comfort zone. By remaining open to new experiences and perspectives, you will continue to expand your horizons and uncover new facets of your identity. I know I did.

    In conclusion, the journey of self-discovery is a transformative experience that has the power to enrich every aspect of life. If you’re ready to embark on your own journey of self-discovery, I invite you to connect with me at Resilient.

  • Ride the waves!

    ByAmey

    Ride the waves of uncertainty and change. The only thing certain in life is that there will be changes. Changes in something as simple as the weather and as drastic as divorce, death, or job loss. If we can learn to “ride the waves” during those uncertain times, we can grow from those moments when the tides rise over our heads. Use the moments when the low tides come in to catch your breath. Take each wave as it comes to you and go with it. Don’t let it engulf you or push you to the floor of the ocean. Rise above your circumstances and ride the waves!

  • Are you tired?

    ByAmey

    Fighting the good fight sometimes is exhausting. You do the right things when everyone else may choose the wrong things. You stick up for loved ones in rooms where people are talking negatively about them. You go out of your way to help someone in need, knowing they could never repay you. Maybe you stay up late with your children to finish that last minute project they told you about. All of these things are wearing you out and you are tired. Take a deep breath my warrior woman. Your load may be great, but God is greater! He will never give you more than you can handle, even if sometimes you feel like you are at a breaking point. I understand where you are coming from, but more importantly, He understands. You’ve got this!

  • Learn to Laugh

    ByAmey

    Learn to laugh, even in the storms of life. Laughter is medicine for the soul and can be a great cure for those depression filled days. I have often said, “I had to laugh to keep from crying.” Some days that was true. But what I found in that was a shift in my mindset from focusing not on my circumstances, but on what good can come out of even the most difficult times. Sometimes all it takes is a shift in our mindset to be able to weather storms we are in.
