Stand Up For Yourself & Overcome Helplessness

stand-up-for-yourself

Hello Empowered Spirit!

Today we will talk about those people in our lives who believe that they have the best intentions for us, and have mistreated us, misguided us, or overprotected us. This can be parents, spouses, siblings, or anyone in your life who you may have tolerated their over-bearing personality to the degree that you feel helpless and don’t feel like you have the courage to stand up to them and let them know that you have had enough.

No matter how well their intentions, you need to take charge of your own life, and make your own decisions, even if it means that you will make mistakes. Learned helplessness is when we have tolerated a situation so many times, that it doesn’t seem like there is an alternative. But the good news is that there is! This is YOUR life, and it is up to YOU what you do or don’t do, and anyone who doesn’t agree needs to kindly be ejected.

Sometimes out of our need for approval or belonging, we feel that we have to do things in a certain way to make other people happy. The truth is that your happiness should come before anyone else’s, not out of selfishness, but out of self respect. Respect yourself, by standing up to the other person. Let them know that they need to respect you and your choices, and that you will not continue to do things their way. This can take serious courage, but you will feel better once all is said and done. If the other person argues or decides to leave, that is their choice, and you need to respect that, and move on.

Who You Think You’re Not Is What Holds You Back

wh-you-think-youre-not

Hello Adventurer!

Life is a daring adventure, and when we believe that we are enough and that we have enough, everything can be glitter and excitement. But what about the times when we believe that we are NOT good enough? Today’s episode will focus on how we hold ourselves back from everything we want by not believing that we are good enough, or smart enough, or successful enough.

It is who we think that we are not that holds us back and creates feelings of insecurity, fear, self-doubt, and other negative emotions.These emotions hold us back and prevent us from taking actions that could improve or enrich our live’s. This happens because we simply don’t believe that we are good enough or that we do not have enough. These two fundamental beliefs can determine if our life has an upward or downward spiral direction, and ultimately it is up to us to choose.

We Forge The Chains We Wear In Life – Our Own Worst Enemies

we-forge-chains-we-wear

Hey Wonderful! : )

Today we will be talking about serious stuff. Oftentimes we blame other people, or outside circumstances for hurting us, for holding us back, isn’t it so much easier to point the finger than to take responsibility? Good times and bad times come and go, but if we always allow circumstances to overpower us we will not evolve and grow.

When we learn from our mistakes, and move through them in a forgiving way we can stop being so hard on ourselves and allow ourselves to have a second chance. Forgiving ourselves and releasing ourselves from being hopeless and playing the victim role will allow us to break the patter and break free of the chains we have created for ourselves.
Life is willing to give you a second chance, but are you willing to give one to yourself? Be kind to yourself. You are the only person that you will have a relationship with your entire life. Learn to forgive yourself, say yes to yourself, treat yourself right, meet your own needs, and release the heavy and burdensome chains of guilt, shame, and fear.

Thinking Inside of The Box To Discover Your Fears and Limitations

ThinkinkgInsideBox

Hey Gorgeous!

Today’s episode is more of a life hack that I use to get directly in front of my biggest fears and limitations. Sometimes we feel trapped, stuck, or frustrated and we aren’t sure why. This trick will help you to easily access these emotions, and create urgency so that you aren’t a bystander in your life, and you actually do something about them. I share a personal story of how this helped me open up to letting go and starting over.

Also I want to warn you that you need to be ready to complete this exercise, you need to be ready to have a lot of negative emotions come to the surface, it takes courage and serious determination, but it can help you grow and see some blockages that you may not be completely aware of. By highlighting our fears, and having an emotionally intense desire to face them, we will stop living in denial, and start becoming a better version of ourselves. Try it out, and let me know what you think and what came up for you during the exercise. Many thanks for tuning in, until next time! : )

Do Not Let The Injury Or Limitation Of One Thing Injure or Limit All Things

LimitAllThings

We’ve all experienced times when we allow one bad day to spill itself in to the next day, and even the one after that. Suddenly we are stuck in a pattern of bad days, and we don’t seem to be able to break the cycle. This is a consequence of not allowing the bad day to move through us, instead we choose to move with it, and we allow it to linger and extend it’s presence to other areas of our life. When your work life is not going well, try to focus on the good things going on in your personal life. If you are unable to do something, do not allow that limitation to stop you from trying to do other things. Too often we make the mistake of focusing on what is not going well, and life helps us validate that things are not going well by highlighting all that is not going well. Instead focus on allowing the bad experience to pass right through you, and go on with your day as you would have if it had not happened.
