Taking Back Your Power: Reclaiming Your Dignity After Disrespect

Taking Back Your Power: Reclaiming Your Dignity After Disrespect

Being disrespected can be a disempowering experience, leaving us feeling angry and vulnerable. Whether it’s a belittling comment at work, dismissive interactions in a relationship, in any situation where our worth feels undermined, it’s crucial to reclaim our power.

Here’s how we can rise above disrespect and take back control.

1. You Must Acknowledge Your Feelings

Start by recognising and validating your emotions. It’s okay to feel hurt, angry, or disappointed. Allowing yourself to process these feelings is the first step toward healing. Writing down how you feel or talking to a trusted friend can help clarify your thoughts.

2. Set Boundaries

Establishing clear boundaries is essential for protecting your mental and emotional well-being. Communicate clearly what is acceptable to you and what is not. If someone crosses these boundaries, be prepared to lovingly assert yourself to reinforce them, especially with repeat offenders!

3. Practice Self-Compassion

Treat yourself with kindness. Engage in activities that nurture your self-esteem and remind you of your worth. Whether it’s exercising, getting into nature, meditating, making time for a cleansing or healing treatment, prioritise your well-being. Self-care is not a luxury; it’s a necessity.

4. Seek Understanding, Not Just Closure

If you feel comfortable with it, consider addressing the disrespect directly. Choose a calm moment to express how their actions affected you. This isn’t about confrontation; it’s about fostering understanding. Sometimes people don’t realise the impact of their words or actions and it needs to be spoken about. If they refuse to acknowledge the hurt they caused or even double down on their rudeness, it is perfectly fine to limit their access to you. If you need to go no contact for a while, or even permanently to take back your power, that is necessary self preservation.

5. Surround Yourself with Positivity

Evaluate the people in your life. Who is loyal to you, kind to you? Surround yourself with those who uplift and respect you. Positive relationships are a two way street, providing each other with a supportive environment that reinforces your self-worth and encourages you to stand tall. If someone keeps taking your energy down, or chips away at your confidence, expects your loyalty but shows you none… you may need to walk away.

6. Empower Yourself with Knowledge

Knowledge is power. Whether it’s via books, attending workshops, or seeking nurturing healing therapy, equip yourself with the spiritual toolkit to help you understand who you are dealing with, and the skills to combat any disrespectful situations ahead. The more you know, the stronger you become in asserting your boundaries and values, shutting that behaviour down before someone gets comfortable with pushing your limits.

7. Take Action

Transform your feelings into positive action. Even when things feel outside your control, you can channel your energy into projects or causes that matter to you. By redirecting your focus towards something positive you CAN do, you not only regain your power but also create opportunities for spiritual personal growth and fulfillment for yourself and others. Magical stuff! Things quickly change for the better when we give energy to positivity.

8. Remember Your Worth

No one can diminish your opinion of yourself unless you allow them to. Remind yourself of your strengths and achievements regularly. Create affirmations that resonate with who you feel you truly are and repeat them when self-doubt creeps in. You are deserving of respect and dignity.

Reclaiming Your Power

Being on the receiving end of disrespectful behaviour can be a painful experience, but it never defines you.

Full Moon in Aries Energy Report

 

This full moon in Aries is all about passion and power!

Prepare for a little more full moon madness from others than usual, and make time for some self care, de-stressing and mind your words and reactions so that you don’t become one of them! We need to think before we speak, and even more so before we act. Emotions, especially deep seated ones could be all over the place. You could find yourself in the midst of outbursts and conflicts you never saw coming.  Do your best to stay grounded and mindful.

The big picture will be important and at the forefront this full moon. What needs to change will feel like it needs to happen yesterday, but pace yourself.  You may feel a sense of urgency and determination to do whatever it takes to see that your long-held desires are fulfilled. Weigh your decisions carefully!

As mentioned, power is a theme here. Globally, we will see more heated  power struggles arising. This is also a time to harness intentionally taking back of any power you may have unintentionally given away to a person or situation outside your control. Here’s a simple and powerful way to call your power back to you. 

Remember, it is safe to be powerful in many ways. One of the ways that makes use of power in a nurturing way is doing more of what lights us up. What are you passionate about?

Appearance may suddenly be bothering you out of the blue – try to love yourself as you are and resist the urge to be self critical as this will pass. It is temporary. Do speak to yourself kindly and treat yourself to do something that makes you feel nourished at soul level.

Impulsiveness may be a problem if you allow it to be… no big decisions without careful and grounded meditation on those issues.

Planning new projects is divinely guided on this full moon! This Aries motivational energy is perfect to light a fire under inspirational ideas and turn them into reality. Your vision can be made real, harness this day!

If you feel like your sex life is in need of some ooh la la… this is the day for it! Any sexy plans or encounters will be amplified with amazing energy!

Aries is all about positive self-affirming assertiveness – but you’ll do well to avoid unnecessary drama at the moment, diffuse and dampen any fiery moments that arise before you burn any bridges without meaning to. Take a breath and ask your guides and spirit team to give you the right words to assert yourself kindly.

Some questions to meditate upon this full moon:

  • Are there any toxic patterns and behaviours in my life?
  • What lights me up? How can I do more of this?
  • What am I passionate about?
  • How can I make my dreams happen? Show me one step I can take today, no matter how small.
  • What can I contribute and manifest to make a difference for the greater good in the world?
  • Where do I need to take back my power? Who and what do I need to stand up to?
  • Where do I need to show myself more self-love?
  • Do I show myself gratitude and compassion? How can I do this more?

Enjoy this powerful, fiery energy and use it well!

Until next time, more power to you…
