Setting Your Inner Wonder Woman Free

Posted on August 14, 2010 by Bernette Sherman, One of Thousands of Life Coaches on Noomii.

I remember being around the age my daughter is now, watching Linda Carter save the day, spinning around to become Wonder Woman. She was beautiful (body) and smart (mind) and powerful (spirit). Didn’t every girl want to be like her? I did for sure.

Do I remember much about the details of the show? No. But I remember the powerful image she projected, the essence of what she represented. She made me believe I could be anything and do anything. As a young girl, it meant I could climb trees with my brothers, play double-dutch with my girls, not be afraid to beat the boys in a footrace, while loving my pretty dresses and bows in my hair. I didn’t think I had to be one way or another.

As an adult, I have come around full circle. It is as spinning around and finding my own Wonder Woman again. It is through life and change and adversity and hope and loss and success and failure that we find our inner strength, purpose, and the courage to be who we are.

How do you let your inner Wonder Woman free? How do you find that beautiful, smart, and strong woman who is literally banging on the door of your soul to be let out? How do you stop pushing her back into the closet so that everyone else can be satisfied and you can meet the needs of everyone around you? How do you balance all the parts you play and all the hats you wear – the ones covering up that beautiful golden and jeweled headpiece?

Here are just a few suggestions that might get the inner wonder woman moving.
A. Take ten minutes and write a list down of these things:

1. What is wonderful about you? What do people compliment you about? What are you most proud of about yourself (current, past achievements)
2. What are two or three things you love to do when there are no other demands on your time?
3. What one thing would you do if someone gave you just $1,000 and one day to spend it? _You can’t give more than half to anyone else or for bills/expenses. _

B. What do you see? What pops out at you? How would you spend your time and treasure? What are your talents? These are the things that begin to shape a better vision of that inner Wonder Woman.

The next thing you need to do start letting your inner Wonder Woman out is start doing something. We all have it within us to be amazing and wonderful women. We have it within us to transform, even if it feels like we must go round and round through a whirlwind to do it! We have it within us to be whoever and whatever it is we want to be and are meant to be. Your inner Wonder Woman is different than mine and different from your friends. What makes you wonderful is completely unique to you and therefore must be uncovered and discovered by you.

Knowing you have within you a wonderful woman scratching to be free, what one thing could you do in the next 48 hours that would feed your inner or outer beauty (body), your knowledge or skills (mind), or your personal power (spirit)? What would you need to get started in the next 48 hours? What would be your first step? Your second step?
