Authors Napper and Rao write, "We exist in a buzz of worry that we're not doing what we're meant to do, and the anxiety we feel, in turn, makes it difficult to get things done, creating a spiral of inaction. What we need is more agency: the ability to cut through all of what pulls at us, find emotional and physical balance, think more clearly and advocate for ourselves so we can take a course of action that makes sense. With agency, we can feel more in command of our lives." Today, we reimagine our personal sense of agency. What is personal agency? For many of us, we never learned or shaped a sense of agency in our childhood or adolescence. BUT, as adults, we can. With absolute certainty, we can develop this capability.
