ABSTRACT
Empowerment comes from awareness of what you need. It can be fostered and grows as you develop skills, confidence and the ability to pay attention to what you need. For your self-care, empowerment brings the possibility of proactive action to bring about what you need, especially with a lens of curiosity and courage.
As you explore what empowerment is and can be for you, in this chapter we will work with some tools that can support you with this. I’ll provide a scaffold to develop a plan for your wellbeing and how to put self-care into action. We will connect closely to your purpose or meaning, and work through strengths and how these are a part of our self-care to support engagement and flow.
Underpinning this chapter is a mutual respect and non-judgement of how you can approach and continue to build your toolbox for self-care, where you cultivate choice, agency and capacity to access tools that help replenish you.
