Create Your Unique P.N.A.

By:  Priscilla  Wainwright

            What’s a P.N.A.?

            It’s your own Power Name Acronym.    Your P.N.A. is a very helpful tool in boosting your esteem and belief in yourself and your own Radiance and Glory.

            You’ve seen acronyms before.    The writer takes a specific word, then uses every letter of that word to be the initial of another word.

            That’s what you do to create your P.N.A.    Write your full name vertically down the left side of your paper.     Next to each letter, write a word, beginning with that letter, that describes one of your special qualities, talents, skills, or positive attributes.

            Choose your words carefully.    As best you can, use positive emotional, powerful words that are uplifting and motivational to you.    If you have one letter that appears more than once in your name, use a different word each time for that letter.     I have four I’s in my name, so I had to come up with 4 different words beginning with “I”.

            Here’s my P.N.A. as an example:

                        Powerful

                        Radiant

                        Intentional

                        Sensual

                        Committed

                        Intelligent

                        Loving

                        Loyal

                        Actualizing

                        Wonderful

                        Attractive

                        Intuitive

                        Natural

                        Wise    (WOW!)

                        Radical

                        Iridescent

                        Glorious

                        Helpful

                        Tough/Tender

            Have fun with this.   Don’t rush it.   Take time to select the most powerful, expressive, accurate, and motivating words.   (Power hint:   Choose some words that describe the IDEAL DESIRED YOU, even if they don’t describe you as you believe you are today.)

            When you finish, you may want to make a decorative copy and frame it.   Maybe type it in a fancy font style, handwrite it prettily, or have a calligrapher or artist friend render it for you.     You might want to decorate it with drawn flowers or vines,  pictures, or whatever would be attractive to you.

            The real power, however, comes in using it.    Every morning as you start your day, read it.   Then close your eyes and visualize yourself being that person you’ve described, handling your situations as if you were that powerful, glorious person.   (You are, BTW.)

            Have FUN!    Try this religiously for 30 days.   Journal your results.
