Why You Need To Master These Five Superpowers More Than Ever Before

Challenges and change have been a big part of our lives in the last two years, beyond what we imagined possible. Moreover, professionally and personally. Furthermore, there will be more of both to come. Consequently, more than ever before, we need to tap into our superpowers, to get through these times. When you master the five superpowers I mention below, you are better placed to adapt, and thrive. Additionally, tapping into your superpowers helps you gain control and build certainty. Elevating ourselves above our myriad of challenges, whether they be hikes in fuel, food, supply and distribution, global conflict or health issues, is a must.

While there is no one simple answer to thriving, it does start with you. These five tips, superpowers, will help you right now to build certainty, take control of the things you can. Additionally, become stronger and more resilient, and learn how to program your mind better.

1. Build your Self-Worth and Master these five superpowers

While I will leave a broad discussion of self-worth for another day, here I am referring to self-worth as ‘your sense of your own value.’ We all need to feel valued and know what value we bring to others. Furthermore, self-worth is a crucial ingredient to combat fear and doubt. It’s also a good way to defend yourself against the ‘news’, most of which focuses on negative events. Therefore, to start building your self-worth, here are four questions to consider:

Who are you?
What is really important?
What do you want and why?
What do you stand for?

“To know thyself is the beginning of wisdom.” Socrates

Starting with answering these four questions will give you greater insights about yourself and what you want. Furthermore, I believe knowing ourselves and feeling worthy and valued is the most important of our five superpowers. When you learn more about yourself, what drives you and what you want, you gain clarity. Clarity gives your mind direction and allows you to focus on what you want. Moreover, it helps you create a plan, develop routines, and act on your plan. Action always defeats doubt.

2. Connection is the second area to focus on to master these five superpowers

Making time to connect in person with people who matter is important. One of the worst things to do to humans is to isolate them from others. With the prior lockdowns, lack of travel and social isolation, this critical human need has been seriously compromised for millions of people.

Take back your ability to connect and commit to doing this more often. Good social connections build meaning, happiness and give life a purpose. Strong connections are good for your health, your immune system and increase your life expectancy. Enjoy the journey to master these five superpowers, and this critical human need.

“Connection is why we’re here; it is what gives purpose and meaning to our lives.” Brené Brown

3. Fun is a vital superpower

Before ‘COVID-19’ became a familiar word in our vocabulary, we were already caught up with being busy. Disengagement and disconnection was increasing. Furthermore, stress and health issues were on the rise. In addition, the last two years has seen an increase in these problems. What is important, is to remember we all have an inner superpower to be childlike, play and have fun.

Prioritise time to do things that fulfil you, make you laugh and smile. Activities that bring you joy. Play and having fun are one of the greatest antidotes to stress, and as you know, stress negatively impacts your immune system. Fun and laughter also increase happiness and give meaning to life, especially as you are often connecting with others.

“It is a happy talent to know how to play.” – Ralph Waldo Emerson

4. Set boundaries in your life

When you focus on numbers one to three, it becomes easier to set boundaries in your life and to master these five superpowers. This could include making and keeping commitments for social catch-ups, turning off the news or limiting screen time, letting go of negative people and choosing to focus on the positives in life. Boundaries help you take control of your life and control increases certainty. Furthermore, if you are in business you may have to set boundaries in your business too. What boundaries do you need to create professionally and personally?

5. Take time to reflect

Reflection is a less well known superpower to develop. However, it’s an important skill to grow, learn and succeed. Athletes know this skill well, however it is often underrated in today’s business world. Few people take time to actively reflect, because they feel they are already too busy. Ironically, reflection involves slowing down, yet slowing down is often necessary to see both what we can’t see and to speed up.

Ensure you schedule time to think about specific problems or opportunities in your business. If possible, brainstorm with others and listen to their comments with a lens of finding new solutions and opportunities. Moreover, take time to reflect on your day and week. A truly life-changing habit to embrace, especially when you reflect on your successes, small wins, and what you are grateful for. They are the ultimate self-esteem building habits!

“We cannot become what we need by remaining what we are.” John Maxwell

Finally, there are things we can control and things we cannot control.

Focus on the things you can control.
You can control what you read, watch, think and say.
The choices you make and the actions you take.
How you show up and the meaning you put on your experiences.
Whether you choose to learn, grow and accept change.
And of course, choices influence health. Health is our number one asset, so make it your mission to look after yours!

So now, it’s over to you. Take time to master these superpowers. Start slow, remember to take small steps, as this is the way to take control of your life, build a mindset for success and feel more certain about whatever challenges lie ahead.
