I used to HATE confrontation. I would avoid it like the plague because I was raised to believe it’s “not nice” and I placed a high value on being “nice”. Is that true for you too? It’s one of the driving forces behind what I call “TOXIC NICENESS” (where we hold back from expressing how we really feel for fear of hurting someones feelings or to avoid them thinking badly of us.) Fear of confronting (looking at or speaking the…
Most of us are taught that being a strong, successful person means that you don’t entertain fear and you certainly don’t show it. Probably because wallowing in it can be draining and can rob us of our joy, self confidence, energy and our power. I know this to be true as I lived with anxiety (fear) for the first 30+ years of my life. I did not know it was my normal state until I experienced NOT having it for…
If you’ve been following my journey over the last 8 months or so, you’ll know that I was journeying though what I called “The Void”. I surrendered fully to my Souls journey, letting go of much of what I was doing and how I was doing them and creating space for what was wanting to be birthed next through me. It’s has been a journey that has required: Developing greater levels of courage and trust – in myself and the…
Todays post is a guest post by creative muse, copywriter and writer Giovanna Marcus Q: How do you get that stratospheric leap you’ve been wanting? A: Stand out in your marketing! It’s no secret that putting out attention-grabbing, crave-worthy, and consistent content is the way to build your sphere of raving fans (just like a home cooked meal is the way to my heart). But before you get to the point, there are a few things that may be standing in…
What is a “Deliberate Creator”? A person who consciously creates the circumstances of their lives using an understanding of the Universal Laws. Imagine being able to design your life. To know you have the power to manifest anything you want. To have your life go well all the time. To have control over your mind and your body. It IS possible! Yogi’s and Yogini’s have done it for a long time. Many western scientific studies have documented the mind/body…
Yesterday I was going to the restroom on a break at a seminar I was attending. I was checking my emails on my phone while I walked (even though I get annoyed at people who nearly run me over because they are looking at their phones instead of paying attention to where they are going! Lol!) My very full bladder was relieved to find there wasn’t the usual long line in the ladies rest room and I only put my…
December can be a really joyful time of year, reconnecting with family and friends. Lots of celebrations and parties. It can also be an emotional and stressful time of year. For some, it’s a time of financial stress… Running around buying gifts, entertaining, traveling to visit with family and friends. For some it’s a time of emotional stress. Feeling sad, missing someone you’ve lost this year, (through death or divorce). Or the stress of feeling obligated to go places…
I grew up in the 60’s and 70’s in the midst of the women’s liberation movement. Being a strong, independent woman meant I could do whatever a man could: change my own flat tire, support myself financially, be the CEO of my own business, paint my walls… I could “do it myself”. I remember feeling such pride when a male friend told me one day “Helen, you’re a better man than most men I know!”. (I cringe now when I…
I was speaking with a client the other day about her long term goals for her business. When it came to the subject of her retirement, her whole energy froze. She said, “Um, what retirement fund?” I could feel her energy sinking fast as shame rose to the surface. I told her: “Stop worrying about having a retirement fund.” Angry now, she said “What do you mean stop worrying! At the rate I’m going I’ll be working until I’m 99!”…
