You are worthy..

You are worthy of all you choose in this life. Often we can miss out on what we really want becauase we may not feel worhty of it. We can tend to put ourselves down and not value ourselves to cause opportunities to walk right on by. It doesn't have to be that way... you are worthy of anything you choose and you are valuable. So how do you increase your self worth? You take a pen and write 100 ways you are worthy of everything you ever wanted. You will begin to see that you can do whatever you choose and step by step achieve your goals. Obstacles come along and that's the nature of the growing business. So when you come across them, take out your list of worthiness and you will begin to know that everything is steering you in the perfect direction. There is no such thing as sabotage, the things that are meant to be in your experience will find their way there no matter what!

Unconditional Love...

Often in life we place conditions on others and expect them to live by our values... what if everyone has their own set of values and the most powerful thing to do is allow each and every person to live by their values. Do you find yourself judging others for the way they look, the things they do, or don't do? What about yourself? Do you judge yourself for all those things? You wouldn't be human if you weren't judging things, it's how you choose to deal with that judgement that counts. Some people beat themselves up or ridicule others. Unconditional love is when you can love all aspects of another human being and the world putting all judgement aside, to just be. The only person harmed by judgement is you no matter whether judging yourself or others. You have to live with yourself so what are you going to choose to do? What if you could love the positive and negative in others? How would your life be different?

Fair Exchange...

Fair exchange is when there is a equal exchange for your services. So often as women who are wanting to please we can give our services away and be altruistic. This means that you can make things all about everyone else's needs and forget your own. Then the pendulum swings and you become narcissistic which means everything becomes all about your own needs and you forget about others. There is a balance and you can find that balance if you simply know and are congruent with your own self worth and your own true value. What value do you offer the world? Know that you are worthy of anything you choose. What hourly rate do you authentically want to charge to know that you aren't being altruistic or narcissistic. To know you are being that beautiful feminine being who is shining your light for the world to see because you are in alignment with what you are charging. You are worthy and valuable so be honest with yourself.

Nothing to Gain, Nothing to Lose

All human beings have all traits. Nothing is ever missing. There is nothing to gain and nothing to lose. For every person that wants your services there is one who doesn’t and for every person who doesn’t want your services or you there is one who does. Often in life and business we can feel the pain of loss and rejection if someone doesn’t want what we have to offer. You can choose to look at that in the negative or you can choose to see that for the person who did reject you there is someone who has accepted you. Should you choose to believe this then this is what is real for you and what will manifest into your experience. To know there is no gain or loss you begin to understand that there is a divine order in the universe that causes things to be as they are meant to be. Everything is just perfect the way it is and for every time you try to control the divine order you find yourself at a perfect place to then learn to let go. Allow the divine order to take control and for you to let go and let God. That is where your miracles lay and that is where you are most attractive.

Basic Needs...

Do you take care of your basic needs or do you put the needs of others before you?? Sometimes in life we are so busy taking care of everyone and everything else that we can forget to take care of our own needs and have boundaries to ensure that we are the best version of ourselves. What are your basic needs? What is it that you need to have, be or do in your life so you fill full and overflowing? Often we think that we are serving others by putting them first, but the news is that you only serve others if you serve yourself first, if you take care of yourself first. This is not the green light to be selfish, it is the red light to stop having empty tanks and start having full energy tanks so you can really and trully give to others. You will find when you know what your needs are and have boundaries to ensure that your needs are met you will have more energy, time and money to do the things that are important to you and you are able to be truly of service!

Self Worth

Do you feel worthy of the things you really want in life? What if you could just KNOW you are worthy of everything you ever wanted? What would your life be like? How would you be spiritually, in your relationships, family, physically, financially, career and mindset? What would things be like for you were you to know on every level that you deserve success and a balanced life?

Worthiness is simply something that you create for yourself. It is a state of being and beginning by making the decision that you are worthy. Think of something you feel or think you are unworthy of? Take out your pen and write 50 ways in which you are worthy of that thing. Notice how you feel, what you are saying to yourself and who you become as you gradually become grateful for you and who you truly are!

Values

We all have them and live by them. Whose do you live by? Other's or your own? Sometimes we can want to be like others and inject their values into our own lives to then find ourselves being like or mimicing someone else. What about you? What about your true values and your true value!! It's in being yourself and loving yourself for who you really are, what is naturally important to you and noticing where you spend most of your time, money and energy. How do you know what your true values are?

You pay attention to where you spend your money? Where do you spend your time? Where do you spend your energy and where are you most organised? These are the areas that are highest on your values. Sometimes we can delude ourselves and think something is high on our values when it just isn't. You can think about it, imagine it and push toward it as much as you like but that's doesn't change your true values. You manifest your true values and that is your true value.

So what if you want to make something more important to you?

You link your values... by asking yourself how a lower value will contribute to a higher value and do that 50 - 100 times. Keep going until you are grateful and the void has been filled. Meaning that you are so grateful you feel asif you have it now.

Enjoy!!!

Mental Health

One in 4 people suffer from mental illness! That is a lot of people. What do you think about mental illness? Do you attach a stigma to it or do you see that it's something that is a bi-product of the way society is set up. Things are getting busier, time is going faster and we are doing more inn a shorter period of time. This lends itself to the occurance of the failure of the mind. A breakdown that can be very detrimental to the wellbeing of an individual. A let down that can be very difficult to recover from. Whether depression, Bipolar, Schitzophrenia or other mental illnesses, things need some change.

If you have suffered any of the above, you will know that it's a difficult place to return from. And you must know that it's possible to fully recover no matter how severe the breakdown of you mind has been. You need to re-gain trust in your mind and trust in the world again. You are safe to do what you want to do. You can handle it!!! If you have not suffered from any ot the above, awareness is the key. Be aware that as a woman, you have the capacity to do anything you choose in life. And be very aware that the faster pace brings with it the forgetting of self. You must continue to exercise, have fun and take care of yourself while you fulfill on your career dreams. You must put your wellbeing first and the needs of others second. Atruism will not get you anywhere. And Narcissim willl burn you out just as quickly.

So how do you find that balance between Atlruism and Narcissim? You put your own wellbeing first and balance your inner world and outer world simultaneously with your true values. Not the values of others that you my project into your world that make you want to be like someone else. Your true values that you know is you. Know your values and live by them. Do not model others and inject their values into your life to try to be more like them. Imitation is suicide... another symptom of mental illness.

So in saying all that... there is hope for all who have suffered or are likely to suffer mental illness or a breakdown of the mind. You are never stuck in your situation and the further down you go, the higher up you can climb. Making sure you sustain a balance/equilibrium so you are always standing on a solid foundation.

Fitness...

Fitness takes time to grow! It's something that needs to be nurtured and you need to be patient with yourself. When starting out with a fitness program, it is important to be aware that it will take time to achieve the fitness you may have as your goal. Having goals is the most important aspect of fitness training. Your goals need to be clear, concise and achievable. It's like any goals really, your fitness will come with persistence and sticking to and focusing on your clear plans. Surround yourself with the people you need to support you in your goals. Maybe a Personal Trainer, Nutritionist/Dietitian, counselling and supportive friends. So go forth and sow your fitness seeds and watch them grow into everything you asked for.

Purpose...

If you give your life meaning and purpose you will really live!! Have you ever been down or depressed? In those moments, think about what you were focusing on. Then think about what you want to focus on instead of that. What meaning to you want to ascribe to things that occur and your life? Do you want to focus on the negative or the empowering thoughts and purpose? When you focus on what you want, you gradually begin to feel better. You begin to attract more positive things toward you and you can better handle negative things that occur. It is a fact of life that there will be negative things that occur, it's how you handle them that counts. So consider this a tool for your tool box.. in the times you feel down or negative begin to focus on what you want instead of that. Give the negative occurance and thoughts an empowering meaning and place your attention on your life purpose.

How do you find your life purpose you may ask? Think about the impact you want to have on the planet and the legacy you want to leave. How can you sum that up into one sentence? "My purpose is to __________" for example "My life purpose is to empower women". What would you say for yourself?

Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway...

Susan Jeffers says it well in her book "Feel the Fear and Do it Anyway"... most of the time we are afraid because we don't think we can handle things. What are you afraid of doing that if you were to know you can handle it, you would go out and do right away? In life, things are only as they appear to ourselves and fear is simply "false eveidnece appearing real". You are in charge of your mind, therefore your results... so if you can tell yourslef now that you can handle anything you choose to do... how would you approch things differently? Say to yourself "I can handle this" or "I can handle ______" and you will notice a distinct change in your day to day life and your approach to things you once saw as scary. You can do anything you choose to do so go ahead and begin to gradually walk toward your ultimate goals.

Gossip...

Speak only to the person who can do something about it!! Sometimes when things don't go your way you can tend to turn to others to talk about someone behind their back. Know that if you do that, you only create that in your life. You only attract gossip about you! When you have something to say about someone, say it to them. I know, it may be a little scary but the best thing you can do for yourself and for others is to take the higher road. It is to speak only to the person who can do something about it. If all you do is gossip, you don't give the person who you are gossiping about the chance to make changes in thier life toward what they want. Or you don't allow them to be aware of their behaviour. So in the future, before you go to gossip about someone, have a think about what it is you could do instead.

Ideas, Ownership & Abundance...

Sometimes in life we can think we own certain information but the truth is that there is an abundance of information and ideas. Ideas are a dime a dozen and if someone takes your idea, simply be thankful that someone liked your idea and come up with a new one. The reason I write about ownership is that I had someone take information and ideas I told them about and make their own version of what I was doing. Have you ever trusted someone like that and been left out of the loop? I could be upset and angry at that person but all ideas come from the same place. Abundance is the name of the Global Empowering Women Org (GEWO) game. We choose to live knowing that there is more than enough to go around and we choose the higher road toward the path of light. There is an abundance of everything and anything you choose to focus on. It turned out that I didn't want to do that thing anyway so what a gift that I got to move on to other things. What a gift that GEWO was born!!

Avoiding Burn Out...

So often as women we can tend to take on everything and do more than what we are natrually capable of achieving. Why you may ask? Hmmm.. that is up to you but I know that I have this inner need to please and at times even my own wellbeing has come last after that need to please. In my experience as a woman who has suffered burnout at the age of 30, the mistakes I made prior to the burnout are; I had a Blackberry, I loved my job more than I loved myself, I had money issues, I didn't exercise and I didn't eat properly. There are many contributing factors in a breakdown which can lead to depression and anxiety.

It was a long climb out for me and please listen to me when I say that it is best avoided. Do you notice yourself over doing it? If so, how can you make space for you? How can you beging to focus on your wellbeing and taking time out? How can you put your life before your career? If you are struggling financially, I can empathise with you because that is the main contributing factor to my breakdown. No matter how hard I tried, I just couldn't make my business or career profitable. And in the end, that was what caused me to plunge into the depths of darkness. Now in the depths of darkness I saw the light, and it's imperative to place and empowering meaning on everything that occurs. And the climb out has brought me to a place of inner peace I didn't know before, so I am happy!

The gist of what I am sharing with you is that burnout is avoidable. You are a special woman who has many gifts and you can profit from those gifts from a place of wellbeing. Just think of the Law of Attraction. You prosper from that place of inner wellbeing and inner peace. Begin to find things that you love to do for hobbies, start to exercise daily and eat well. Seek professional help if you are finding it difficult. Any good psychologist can help you with the disease called "over work". So go out, play and enjoy your career after you take care of yourself first.

Losing Weight...

When losing weight it is important to lose it nice and gradually and slowly. Fad diets and fast weight loss can lead to putting it all back on. It is all a mindset really. It's what you think about your body and yourself. It's your mental approach to exercise and food that counts and consistency in all areas to cause you to create lasting results. If you are finding yourself losing weight slowly, then be grateful for that. Know you are on the right track and if you have lost 1 kg then your formula for weight loss is working. Keep it up and then you will see 2 kg's and then 3 and so on. Be patient and don't go lookig for a quick fix. Remember the secret ingredient is consistency. If you consistently stick to your weight loss formuala or plan you will find that you will win every time!!!!

Do what you love and love what you do...

In life, it is important that you do what you love and love what you do. You have been given a certain amount of years on this planet and how do you want to spend those years? What do you want to do with those years? It is imperative that you know what your divine destiny is and what you want to do for your career and your hobbies. I have many things that I love doing and not all of them are what I want to do for my career. Counselling is my divine destiny and assisting people to live their best life possible. What is your purpose? It is said if you do not have a vision or purpose, you will fall into the plans of someone else. Whose life are you living and what is it that you are not doing?

Diets don't work..

Have you tried just about every diet you can think of and wonder why you struuggle with your weight. Well dieting ruins your metabloism and eventually can make you fat. It's your relationship with food that you need to take a peek at because years of dieting can cause you to have an unhealthy approach to eating. In my time as a Personal Trainer, I found that most women yo yo! They go on the diet for a bit, are really good then go off the diet and end up worse off then before. They exercise for a while then reach a goal and then stop and go back to where they were or even further. In this day and age with the media and all the stories about "skinny people" and people's weight, you need to be strong in your approach to your body image and just as importantly be strong in your approach to food. A simple step I learned from Dr Rick Kauseman author of the book "If Not Dieting Then What" is to say to yourself, "I can have it if I want it but do I feel like it"... only a start and seek professional assistance with your nutrition if you feel you need to find your natural eating patterns.

Write Down Your Desires

Do you ever stop and consider what your true desires in life really are? What is it that you really want? What do you want to achieve? Do you walk around in that place of knowing to attract clarity to you? Take a pen and begin to write what you want in life. Make sure you write it clearly, it is realistic, stated in the positive and write it asif you have it now. Be creative and think bigger than you normally would. Enjoy the clairty of thought and attracting what you want that little bit clearer and faster.

Linking Values...

When you have your list of values, and you find that you want to for example make more money. You would not change your top value to money, you would link money to your top value. For example: my top value is love so therefore I would consider how having money will bring me more love. Or how more love brings me more money. I do this by writing 50 ways money allows me to have more love or love allows me to have more money. So with GEWO, the more love there is, the more money there is!!! Try linking your values and see how you find it. This allows you to attract the things you want in your life whilst still living by your core values. Have fun!!!

Know Thy Values...

Know thy values and live by them!! Do you know your values? What are values? Values are the core of who you are and depict how you live your life. If you know your values, you can easily understand why you attract what you attract in life, what is most important to you so you can say yes or no to things and how you can attract more of what you want in your life. The values of the GEWO are:

Love
Purpose
Partnership
Freedom
Contribution
Compassion
Serenity

These values allow me to be able to be clear on what I write about and help you know what to expect. So you can expect lots of love!!! Think about what your values are and what is important to you. Maybe write them down and begin to focus on what is most important to you to bring more of that into your life. And if you want to bring more of something else into your life then stay tuned for some linking to values.

Self Esteem

What is self esteem? The Dictionary Definition is:


1. a realistic respect for or favorable impression of oneself; self-respect.
2. an inordinately or exaggeratedly favorable impression of oneself.

Where are you in the self esteem game? If you look closely, there are areas of your life where you already have a high self esteem. There is no such thing as having complete low self esteem, there are only areas where you will have a lower self esteem. So take a peek and see where you have a healthy self esteem. Allow yourself to see it. And note the areas where you may have a lower self esteem and then consider how you can find a balance. It's important not to get cocky but to be in equilibrium or balanced. See yourself the way you want to be seen.

You are worthy

You are worthy of anything you choose to do in this life. You can be, do and have anything you want. The secret is to know what you want and know that there are other women who have achieved what you want so what is to stop you? Nothing... the only thing standing between you and your dreams is your thinking. Why not think you can do it... think you can be it and know you can have it and take a step by step approach to creating it. You are worthy of all your dreams and you are worthy of love, no matter what has happened in the past. You deserve everything you desire!!!

Feminine in Business

Are you a woman in business? Do you find it hard to stay a girl whilst in business? Sometimes the constant stress can cause you to become a little more masculine than your natural self. And that is not good for your health. An over production of testosterone from working too hard can cause you to have issues with your reproductive organs and a whole lot of other things. It's time to take care of yourself and ensure you stay feminine and healthy so you can have a successful feminine and healthy business. Your natural flow is where your true results are. Maybe you will need to work with others to help you to stay your true self. Do what you love and love what you do!!! And there you really are...

Fashion

Why not dress up, not down every day. You are beatiful no matter what and know that when you take the time to dress up, you feel just that... a little more up. Why save your clothes for special occasions? Every day is a special occasion!!!

Frienships

True friendships will always lift you higher and challenge you to be the best you can be. We need people in our lives who love us just the way we are and know how to forgive. We need people who who speak the truth to us and help us walk the path of life as the best version of us.

Wisdom

You are a wise woman. You have all the knowledge you need and all the experience you need to be wise right now. Wisdom does not come with age, it comes with knowing you are wise and living like a woman of wisdom. You know all you need to know, you are all you need to be. Simply top yourself up with new wisdom at times you feel you may need a little more.

Femininity

Business, Society and stress tend to have a negative effect on your natrual spriritual being and you can cut off from your natural feminine self. You are by nature a feminine woman and a magnificent spiriatual being. When you work too hard and strive for success you shut yourself off to who you really are. How about allowing your success and creating a wonderful career.

I Love you

Love is...

Love is that thing that we don't usually want to talk about. Love is that thing that we do talk about because it is all there is. It is all that you can strive for. It is all you can belive in and all you can wish for in this world that comes across as loveless. It is a world full of love because you believe it is a world of love. It is a world full of love because that is all there is... love is all there is.

Beauty

True Beauty lay within you!!! It is who you are inside and out. It is uquestionable and that thing within yiou that is crying out to be heard. That presence that saturates and that conviction that shows the world who you are and what you are standing for in this world. You are worthy of all you are asking for.

Love Thy Body

You only have one body! So best we love it just the way it is. Do you find yourself forever trying to change youself? What kind of life is that??? What if you could simply love your body just the way it is and know that health is of the upmost importance. If you concentrate on constantly trying to be different you will never get there because you are made the way you are made. And you can get out there and do more healthy things to help in the process of loving yourself just the way you are.

Belief Systems

In life we have filters that we look at the world through. Some of us look through the filters of what is wrong and some look through filters of what is right and others look through filters of what is divinely perfect. You are perfect as you are. You do not need to change for anyone. You do not need to be right or wrong. You are living in the world of divine perfection and here you find your feminine self. Your belief system depicts what you say to yourself, how you feel about yourself and what you know to be true about yourself. Why not believe that you are a magnificent woman who is put on this earth to be beautiful and wonderful! You are divinely perfect just the way you are.

Powerful Women

You are a powerful woman! There is no job or title that can make you powerful. Often in life we can forget this and place our power on the external when your true power is also internal. You are powerful in many ways and one of those may be in your career or your title. You are powerful in spirit and your true feminine self. So let your light shine for the world to see and express your power however you choose. Marienne Williamson said "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate, it is that we are powerful beyond measure".

Confidence

Confidence is something we all have. It's just a matter of seeing where you have it. You will find that if you look closely you will see areas of your life where you are confident and others where you are not so confident. So what do you do??? You just love yourself for the way you are and know that you can be, do and have anything you want in this world. You simply need to know that and keep reminding yourself that you are a confident woman and you can be whomever you wish to be in this world.

Freedom!!!

Live your life and be free!!! Sometimes in life we can get bogged down in details and forget to be our feminine free selves. You are a beautiful feminine woman and you can be free to express yourself for who you truly are. You are free to do the things you love and love the things you do. Keep shinining!!

Body Image

You are a very beautiful woman and no matter what you look like on the outside, your beauty shines from within. It can be seen in the sparkle in your eyes, the spring in your step and the smile on your face. Outer beauty helps us to feel beatiful but it is not who we are. You are a shining light of love and spirit!
