Step Into Your Power
5.1k Plays2 years ago
I want this episode to empower you to step into your power! We are so powerful, but often we don't take advantage of this because we are fearing rejection, failure or judgement. However when we are living our truth and stepping into the version of ourselves who we were put on this Earth to be, everything begins to unfold.
This episode is an exciting one, because you can get started right now. You are able to step into the version of you that you want to be, right now. And what that does, is brings radical change! And it can be quite instant. When you step into your power, you're honouring yourself, and you allow the universe to step in and work alongside you, bringing your manifestations into reality.
I love chatting about this topic and how it benefits our overall happiness, but also our manifestations. So often we set ourselves up for a loss, when we strive for something externally to complete us. Or we have the mentality of 'I'll be happy when.' What about choosing to be happy now?
This episode can also help you identify what you should and shouldn't accept. This helps you step into your power and stand up for yourselves and others when you feel the need to. When you get clear on who you are, and what your core values and beliefs are, your decisions, words and actions will be aligned with this and will be effortlessly backed with courage.
I end this episode with an exercise and some journal prompts that can help you step into the most powerful version of you! I'm excited for you!

Introduction to Pass Around the Smile and Host Cleo Massey
00:00:01
Speaker
Pass Around the Smile is like your go-to friend, the one that lifts you up and backs you to the end. She's there to guide and inspire, challenge and teach, and remind you that your best self isn't out of reach. Self-development, manifestation, self-love and more, it's time to trust the process more than ever before. Welcome to Pass Around the Smile, the podcast. I'm your host, Cleo Massey, and I am so glad you're here. Let the magic begin.
Manifestation and Empowerment
00:00:31
Speaker
Hello, hello, and welcome back to the Pass Around the Smile podcast. Today's episode is all about stepping into your power and how stepping into your power
00:00:42
Speaker
can be one of the quickest and easiest ways. I know I kind of said that about gratitude last week, but it is another really quick and easy way to manifest as well, to just step into the version of you who you want to be, who, you know, has the money, who has the love, who has whatever it is that you are manifesting. What are you waiting for to step into the version of you that already has that?
00:01:09
Speaker
Now I'll go into this way more. There's a lot more to it but that's just a little taster of what we have today. It's a really exciting episode and I think it'll have you feeling really inspired and excited because it's something that you can do literally right now and it's also something that can bring pretty quick changes. That's what I love. I love in this woo woo self-development world anything that can bring
00:01:34
Speaker
that those quick changes and it just gives us that hope of like, oh my gosh, this change in mindset could actually bring something into fruition tonight or tomorrow or next week. It's really, really exciting. But yes, welcome back to another episode. I am so glad so many of you are doing the gratitude challenge from
00:01:53
Speaker
the episode last week. So many of you are writing in the community group that you're doing it and just the idea that so many of us together are writing 30 things a day that we are grateful for, raising our vibration together as a collective. It just feels so good and so right. So keep us updated in the Facebook group about any positive changes. It's all really, really exciting.
Upcoming Retreat and Community Vibes
00:02:16
Speaker
And I did want to quickly say too,
00:02:18
Speaker
When this episode comes out on Sunday morning, it will be less than four weeks until our yoga, wellness and manifestation retreat in the Sunshine Coast. I am honestly so excited. Like what we are offering in the most beautiful state of art home in the Sunshine Coast hinterland is just so magical. It's going to be a really transformative
00:02:40
Speaker
weekend and it's the perfect time coming into spring to just let go of the old and manifest the new and just get ready to step into the most aligned version of you. I'm just so excited to be feeling really clear and inspired after this retreat and
00:02:55
Speaker
have you feeling exactly the same. I'm just so excited to have, to get to do my Guide to Happiness course, but in person over three days so we can actually implement positive change in such a beautiful setting. Anyway, I'm not going to talk about that anymore because I've already talked about it, but there are a few rooms left and I would absolutely love to see you there. I'll put the link in the show notes. But yeah, let's get started on today's feel good episode.
Overcoming Fear to Embrace Power
00:03:22
Speaker
So we're all really, really powerful, right?
00:03:25
Speaker
And we have a choice to step into our power, but so often we don't because we are scared. We are scared of failure. We're scared of judgment. We're scared of rejection. And that's all just normal human behavior. But if we don't step into our power, we are not really like, I feel like we're not saying thank you or being completely grateful and honoring who we are.
00:03:51
Speaker
by harnessing our full power. And when we do harness our full power, and you will have done it before, whether it's a day here or there, or whether it happens for weeks or months at a time, but it's where you just simply feel really powerful. You feel really you. You feel really aligned. Everything is flowing. Everything's working out.
00:04:11
Speaker
Everything that you are kind of setting your mind to is just kind of unfolding in front of you. It's because you are living in your truth, in your power. And we have the ability to do that and it feels so damn good when we do.
00:04:25
Speaker
However, of course, these kind of these fears come up and they block us from feeling this way. And first of all, just acknowledging that that is completely normal. You're not a negative person. You're not failing. You're not doing anything wrong if you are having these feelings or if you haven't felt in your power for even years. It's so normal.
00:04:49
Speaker
But the exciting thing is that you can step into your power in this very minute.
Manifestation from Within
00:04:54
Speaker
This is not one of those episodes where I'm like, this is going to be years of hard work and you've got to do this and you've got to do that and here's your list and here's your homework. This is like an episode that is saying, what are you waiting for? What are you waiting for to be
00:05:11
Speaker
you, like the most powerful, authentic version of you. And I promise you, when you step into your power, things unfold like crazy and it just feels so good. Not only does it feel good for you, but you inspire those around you. Those who you love start to become inspired by your example and get lifted up by what you're doing and the energy that you are putting out.
00:05:37
Speaker
What I've found is so many of us put our happiness on hold until we achieve something external. So a goal we've set, whether it's, you know, I will be happy when this person is the love of my life, or I will be confident when I weigh this much on the scales. I will be
00:05:55
Speaker
are comfortable when I have this much in my bank account but what we're doing there is we're placing such a huge importance on external things that aren't necessarily in our control because if they are not a part of our divine path
00:06:10
Speaker
we are not going to manifest those things. So if we have made a choice in our mind that I will only be happy, confident or comfortable when these things come into my life, we're kind of setting ourselves up for a loss there. And we know that when we are striving for something externally to complete us, that that is not really what we are meant to do.
00:06:32
Speaker
What we are meant to do is we are meant to strive to complete ourselves internally. We are the only people, well that doesn't really make sense, we are the only person I should say who can complete ourselves. Like you can complete you, I can complete me and that again can be quite frustrating to hear because you may have tried for years and years to kind of be the one that completes yourself and to feel you know so authentically
00:06:59
Speaker
you and feel really fulfilled just being you and you might not have got there yet but I promise that it is you that can do that and you are the only person that can do that but we do kind of put our happiness on hold thinking that we will become fulfilled when we achieve something and yes I love setting goals and I love achieving things and my gosh it feels so good when you get a manifestation or when you achieve a big goal
00:07:27
Speaker
But it's not going to change like your overall happiness, if that makes sense. And you might be thinking, ah, yeah, Cleo, it will, because if I got the money, it would change my overall happiness. Or if I got, you know, the job or the person or whatever. But if currently right now you are not living in your power, if you are not completely happy within yourself,
00:07:53
Speaker
don't think that that thing is going to bring you all of the happiness that you think that will kind of fulfill you and complete your life because there's so much more to it than that. We've got to be really careful
Goal Setting and Balance
00:08:06
Speaker
right? When we set goals and manifestations really take a look at how you feel in between setting the goal and achieving the goal. If you are feeling inspired and excited and if you are enjoying the process then
00:08:20
Speaker
Hurrah, I think that is incredible and I definitely have had goals where I felt that way but then I've had goals and manifestations where I felt the opposite where I've set a goal and I thought I'm gonna put so much on the back burner whether it's you know seeing friends or spending time with family like I'm making these sacrifices because this one thing I have made of such importance in my head is
00:08:47
Speaker
thinking that it's going to completely like change everything. But if we are not living a balanced life, we are not balanced within ourselves. And when we're not balanced within ourselves, we're not living our truth. We're not stepping into our power. We are not acknowledging and honoring who we are, who we're meant to be, and who is most important to us. So really look at when you set a goal, how are you feeling? Because like I said, there's definitely been goals I've set where I have felt
00:09:17
Speaker
Um, I guess really anxious, really that bad type of pressure, uh, rushed, impatient, all of those kind of negative emotions I have felt. And then when I have, usually when you feel like that, you won't actually achieve the goal. But let's say that you do achieve the goal because I have had times where I haven't enjoyed the process and I've achieved the goal.
00:09:40
Speaker
but the goal has never tasted that good because like, you know, I didn't enjoy the process and it wasn't a goal that was in alignment with my authentic truth, I guess. So when I got the goal, I was like, oh, okay. And then I would just create a new one and start that cycle again. So I really do love that quote that's in between goals is this thing called life, which has to be lived and enjoyed. So we don't wanna just throw everything away
00:10:10
Speaker
just to get this goal. Like there is so much more than that one goal and that one manifestation and you owe yourself more than that. Speaking of sacrifices, I have seen so many people sacrifice some really important things, people, circumstances, and even like own kind of feelings and values and beliefs in order to achieve something.
00:10:40
Speaker
But sometimes it's just not worth it. So remember we're talking about stepping into our power
Aligning with True Path
00:10:47
Speaker
right now. And to step into your power means to honor who you are from the inside out, who you've always been, who you were always meant to be. And if you are struggling to understand who you are and who you were meant to be,
00:11:01
Speaker
I definitely recommend some inner child work. I'm going to come out with a really great inner child meditation soon, which is super powerful, but really stepping back into the essence of who you are and who you want to be down to your core. So when you're setting these goals and these manifestations, is it in alignment with who you are and what sacrifices are you going to have to make in order to get this manifestation?
00:11:27
Speaker
For example, I'm sure you all know my acting story by now. If you haven't, you can go back to episode two. But for so long, I was sacrificing.
00:11:38
Speaker
so much to become this successful actress that I so desperately wanted to be when really it was never worth it. I really needed to put my perfect balanced life into play because my life was so off balance for me. Everyone's balanced life is going to be completely different to the other person's. There's no right or wrong in what a balanced life is for you. But for me personally, I was sacrificing
00:12:05
Speaker
Lots of fun like social things that really would have lifted me up being around people that I love I was sacrificing time with my family I was sacrificing living away from Luke and my beautiful doggy Teddy at the time like there was so much that I look back and yes I was chasing a dream, but it would be very very different if that dream was meant to be and
00:12:27
Speaker
And there were so many reasons back then as to why it was not meant to be that I was ignoring because I was trying to prove to myself that it was meant to be because of my previous hard work. So what are you sacrificing to be this person that you want to be? Now, when I'm saying this person that you want to be, right?
00:12:49
Speaker
Let's think about the version of you that has everything that you want. So when I'm saying I want you to step into your power, I'm not saying go and be someone else, like manifest to be like someone else. I'm saying,
00:13:04
Speaker
you need to step into the highest version of yourself that has everything that you could ever want. So for example, the version of you that has the money, the version of you that has the love of your life, that has the health, that has the cute puppy dog, that has the successful, beautiful and easy pregnancy, that has, you know, the friendships, like whatever it is that you want,
00:13:30
Speaker
the version of you, so you're not changing yourself at all, but you can step into the version of you that has those things right now. So you don't necessarily want to focus on the things that you think would bring you fulfillment, for example. You want to focus on the feelings you would have if you had those things. What that does is allows the universe to bring to you
00:13:55
Speaker
the things, the people, the circumstances and the opportunities that are in your right path, that are in alignment with who you are in your greatest power. So does that make sense? I'll kind of say it again in other words, just in case it doesn't make sense. So what I'm saying is you get to right now step into the version of you that you want to be. Don't look at someone else and think I want what they have and I want to be like them. So I'm going to step into that person over there. No.
00:14:25
Speaker
Step into the version of you.
00:14:27
Speaker
that has what it is that you want while letting go of the external things that you want. So the money, the, you know, the objects, the people, the opportunities, letting go of the exact outcomes of what they are, but focusing on the feelings. If you had a really good job, a really beautiful partner, some great health news. So would you feel with the version of you right now, authentically you,
00:14:56
Speaker
Would you feel fulfilled? Would you feel abundant? Would you feel healthy? That's a hard one because if you're not feeling healthy, it's very hard to manifest health. But if you are, let's say, manifesting friendships, would you feel supported? So you want to tap into the feelings
00:15:15
Speaker
that you would feel if you had those things. And what that does is you're actually surrendering because you're saying to the universe, okay, universe, these are all of the things that I want to bring into my physical reality, but I'm just going to focus on the feelings and allow you to decide.
00:15:34
Speaker
What opportunities, people, circumstances are right for me and that will actually bring me that level of fulfillment, of happiness, of love. It's really exciting because you get to step into this person now. And again, you're not stepping into anyone else. You're stepping into the version of you that already has these things. So remember when we talked about the law of attraction in the step of believe.
00:15:57
Speaker
We talk about acting as if. So acting as if you already have the thing that you want, but letting go of the thing and focusing on the feeling will allow that thing or something even better and more aligned to come into your life. So what are you waiting for? So what I would do is I would journal out some sacrifices that you are willing to make to become the version of you that has everything that you want.
00:16:27
Speaker
Because, yeah, sometimes we do have to make little sacrifices here and there, and especially in relationships and friendships. It's about compromise, but this is all helping you put your balanced life into play. This is all helping you get really clear on what it is that you will and won't accept.
00:16:46
Speaker
And sometimes you think, you know what, it's actually not worth sacrificing all that for this one goal that I think will bring me all of this fulfillment. But actually I know that the fulfillment is going to come from this way or that way.
Q&A: Manifesting Multiple Desires
00:17:01
Speaker
So really look as well at how you are when you're setting your manifestations, how you're feeling in between setting the manifestation and getting the manifestation. Just kind of do a little reflective session, journaling session on how you are right now and how you want to be. So you want to be enjoying the process. You want to be letting go of the how and the what and the when and focusing on the feelings that you so deserve to feel.
00:17:31
Speaker
I want to read out a question that I had from one of my community and I thought it was perfect in this episode to read it out. So she said I could say her name. So this is from Zoe. So she said, I was just wanting to ask, she's wanting to manifest a baby, but also some land, a few acres for her partner and her to finish building their tiny house.
00:17:56
Speaker
and put on the land as an Airbnb. She also wants to manifest good health. She's not in bad health, but she does have a few aches and pains that cause anxiety and also more money. Zoe said, is this something that I can do all at once? And if so, do you have any tips? I'm not sure how to surrender when it comes to something like having a child. And also, do I need to be specific about boy or girl? Or can I just think baby or do I think boy?
00:18:23
Speaker
or something that suits me more, for example. Hope this makes sense. Love your podcast. I've been dinging it. Thank you, Zoe. So I thought this was a perfect episode to bring this question up. And it's a really good question because I actually do get asked a lot. Like, oh, I'm wanting to manifest so much. I don't know where to put my energy. And what I would say when you have so much that you want to manifest is simply to step into the version of you that has all of these things.
00:18:52
Speaker
and not necessarily getting overwhelmed thinking about all of the things, thinking about how and when you're gonna build the house and when the baby's gonna come and how you're going to get the money, not thinking about all of that. Just focusing on, let's say, the main three feelings that cover all of those things that you want. So you said you wanna build the house, you want the money, and you want the baby, right? I...
00:19:18
Speaker
I don't know about the whole gender thing. I would say that's probably something to just leave up to the universe. I'm not too scientific with all of like how babies are made and how the sex is decided, but I'm going to say I'm going to leave that bit out of it because I think that's probably just up to what is meant for you. But let's say the other ones, like actually, you know, conceiving the baby, the money and the house, they're the three main things that you said that you wanted.
00:19:44
Speaker
So pick three main feelings that you would feel if you had all three of them. They're going to be different to what I say, but I'll just come up with some examples. So would you feel...
00:19:58
Speaker
supported, abundant and excited, right? So let's just say supported, abundant and excited with those three things. So I would step into the version of Zoe that feels supported, abundant and inspired and do whatever it takes to really believe
00:20:16
Speaker
that those feelings are completely a part of you. And then if those things, the Airbnb, the baby, the money are meant for you and when they are meant for you, they will come in the right way if you raise your vibration to match the vibrations that they are sitting at. Does that make sense? So if you are
00:20:35
Speaker
To anyone, if you are a multi-passionate person and you want to manifest, you know, this and that and that as well, I feel you. I'm the same and sometimes I get overwhelmed. So instead of actually focusing on what it is that you wanting to manifest and the things that you believe are right for you,
00:20:51
Speaker
surrender because it might be something else like Zoe for example it might not actually be an Airbnb it might end up being your perfect family home like you just don't know so by focusing on the feelings you allow the universe to do its thing and bring to you what you need to maintain those feelings I'm like smiling so much because I'm so excited about that
00:21:18
Speaker
idea because it's true. So yeah, focus on the feeling. Step into the version of you that has those things but how would the version of you feel if you had those things or something better? Remember you've got a surrender in there because sometimes we think something is right for us and it is not and that can feel really disappointing and really scary right now but it always makes sense in the end.
00:21:41
Speaker
So I thought I would finish this episode on reading the little excerpt. Do you say excerpt? I think there's a P in there, but I'm pretty sure it's silent anyway. Who knows? But I'm going to read the little bit from my Guided Affirmation booklet that is the Step Into Your Power card.
Guided Affirmations and Authenticity
00:22:00
Speaker
And I also have an exercise and some journal prompts for you as well. So it says pulling this card. Obviously we didn't pull the card, but you know, we're talking about it. It means that it's time to step into your power and powerful you are. Many times in life, we will feel the need to stand up for ourselves and what we believe in. However, it can be uncomfortable and scary to do so with confidence, especially if we aren't completely in tune with ourselves.
00:22:26
Speaker
This card is telling you that it is time to step up and live a life you know you were born to live. To do that, the first step is becoming completely in tune with the essence of you. Who are you? What do you want? What do you believe in? What do you want to be surrounded by? What is important for you?
00:22:44
Speaker
How do you want to make others feel? Once you become clear on this, you will begin to embody your authentic self. Your decisions, words, and actions will be aligned with who you are and will be effortlessly backed with courage.
00:22:59
Speaker
When you are yourself, everything falls into place. So it is time to level up, whether it is just standing up for your worth or starting a new project, it is time to live a life that is true to you, fearlessly and unapologetically.
00:23:15
Speaker
So before I get into the exercise and journal prompts this paragraph I really love reading back what I have written because as we evolve we change and we change our ideas and our perspectives and I guess
00:23:30
Speaker
The whole stepping into your power right now, I'm talking in more of a manifesting sense, but I love how this paragraph reminds us to just step into the person that we are to honor ourselves. Like if you have a business that you are really wanting to start, or if you're really wanting to pick up this hobby that you loved as a kid,
00:23:50
Speaker
or if you're feeling the urge to stand up for yourself at work because you've been treated poorly, whatever it is, it is time to step into your power and to harness your power because I'm sure you would be really inspired if someone else did the same and you would admire their courage. So it's time to step into your power. I know for a very, very long time I was quite
00:24:15
Speaker
pushover and I don't want to say that to put myself down but I was. I would let people kind of stomp all over me. I was a people pleaser and there are definitely some elements still in my personality where I am but I have really learned to step into my power a bit more to stand up for myself and others when I feel the need to and instead of just letting things go addressing them because I think that
00:24:38
Speaker
Honesty is the best policy and being really clear and upfront about things and about what is important to you is Really really
Embracing Uniqueness
00:24:47
Speaker
important. So step into who you are on unapologetically because you were put on this earth For a reason to be you not to be anyone else. I love that quote. No one else is you and that is your superpower and
00:25:01
Speaker
And on the days where you are feeling a little bit and you're not feeling yourself or you're not feeling confident, remind yourself that there is no other you and that you don't have to try and be like anyone else. You don't have to step into that realm of comparison or worry what people think of you.
00:25:17
Speaker
Because you are the only you and you are meant to be exactly how you are. But if you don't honor yourself by doing that, that's when you're going to be out of alignment. So honor yourself and who you will put on this earth for. That doesn't make sense. Honor yourself and who you will put on this earth. What? I can't say that right. Just honor yourself, guys. Just honor yourself and who
00:25:45
Speaker
I'm not trying to say it still. And who you will put on this earth to be. Yeah, I think that's what I was trying to say. I'll have to listen back to that. Wow, that was a lot. But yeah, I'll go into the exercise and the journal prompts now. So the exercise is what is something that makes you feel powerful? Maybe it is saying no to something at work that you know you are above or saying no to a social occasion that doesn't serve you. Maybe you feel powerful after accomplishing something or giving advice to a friend.
00:26:15
Speaker
You might feel accomplished after a workout, taking the kids out by yourself, talking about your achievements. Whatever it is, I challenge you to do it today, even if it scares you. Remember that fear isn't real. As Gabby Bernstein says, it stands for false evidence appearing real. And then some journal prompts. You might want to grab out a pen or just come back to this section if you're out walking or anything like that. But the journal prompts are what is important to me,
00:26:43
Speaker
Am I living a life true to me? I am fearlessly myself when? I know I need to stand up for myself when. So some really powerful journal prompts there and I'm so proud of that exercise. Again, looking back, the booklet that's included in the Guided Affirmation Cards is so full of goodness. Like I am so proud of this book.
00:27:10
Speaker
I'm so proud of the card deck, of course, but the book on its own is like so powerful. There is in-depth kind of meanings for every card, but there is also an exercise and a journal, like journal prompts, I should say, for every card. So yeah, I'm just really proud of that. I was definitely stepping into my power creating that book and I urge you to do the same.
00:27:31
Speaker
If there is something that you are wanting to do, if there is something that you are wanting to say, if there's something that you want, it's time to step into your power, honor yourself and do it. Remember to enjoy the process of getting to where you want to be because it is likely that when you get that thing, you are just going to set another goal and another manifestation and the cycle will begin again. So it's time to enjoy the process. It's time to focus on the feelings and let go of
00:28:00
Speaker
what you think will complete you and allow the universe to just bring with you the match of the feelings that you want to feel. So maybe write down the feelings that you want to feel. Do you want to feel empowered? Do you want to feel supported? Do you want to feel loved? Whatever it is, write them down and step into the version of you that feels those things right now.
00:28:20
Speaker
and watch how things come to you like a magnet. I hope you enjoyed today's episode and are feeling really inspired. I'll pop all of the info and the links in the show notes. If you want to join the Facebook community, please do. And yeah, you're all amazing. Thanks.
