"Power can be taken, but not given. the process of the taking is empowerment in itself"
Gloria Steinem
At Je Mérite, I Deserve, we believe that empowerment is your birthright.
To be empowered is to embrace your inner strength, to recognize your worth, and to confidently step into the life you deserve.
Empowerment comes in many forms—through self-love, knowledge, and the courage to pursue your dreams.
This week's affirmation is - I Deserve To Be Empowered (Je Mérite D’être Responsabilisé).

1. Embrace Self-Confidence
True empowerment begins with self-confidence. It’s about believing in your abilities and trusting your instincts. Whether it’s a bold decision in your career, setting boundaries in relationships, or trying something new, trust yourself and your inner wisdom. Empowerment comes from owning who you are and knowing that you are enough.

2. Prioritize Self-Care
To be empowered, you must also prioritize taking care of yourself. When you nurture your mind, body, and soul, you’re giving yourself the tools to show up fully in your life. Whether it’s through a daily meditation, a soothing bath, or simply resting, self-care is an act of empowerment. Our Je Mérite, I Deserve affirmation candles are designed to remind you of this, creating a space where you can recharge and reconnect with your inner strength.

3. Expand Your Knowledge
Knowledge is a powerful tool for empowerment. Commit to learning something new every day, whether it’s about your industry, a personal interest, or even yourself. Read books, attend workshops, or listen to podcasts that inspire and challenge you. The more you know, the more confident you’ll feel in your ability to navigate life’s challenges.

4. Surround Yourself with Positive Energy
You deserve to be surrounded by people who uplift and inspire you. Empowering yourself often means being intentional about the company you keep. Seek out relationships that nurture your growth and encourage your best self. Remember, you have the power to choose who and what influences your life.
Time for a playlist!
5. Set Boundaries
Empowerment means knowing your worth and setting boundaries that honor it. Protect your peace and energy by saying "no" when you need to, and by creating space for what truly matters to you. Boundaries are an essential part of self-respect and allow you to live authentically without compromising your well-being.
Why these selections? Because it's spooky season and witches are historically powerful feminine figures who suffer for living outside of traditional boundaries.
