Spring is a time of rebirth. Spring fever hits the animals – and many of us as well. We get motivated to make changes, freshen up, clean out and make a new start. As you make these plans, are you making sure to take care of the rebirth of YOU this spring.
Three Gifts to Give Yourself This Christmas
I don’t have to tell you how busy this time of year gets. Christmas can drive you mad. The usual causes are taking on too much. We women can tend toward this at any time of year, but this time ramps it up to a whole new level!
You Are Not a Turkey, and Emotions Aren’t Stuffing
We women feel deeply, whether we care to admit it or not. When we cut off that piece of ourselves, we cut off our power! This is also what sensuality is all about. We can’t be sensual without being in touch with our feelings. Sensual is about the senses, so if we cut off our feelings, we ignore the messages coming in from our senses. No wonder so many of us feel disconnected from our environment, from other people, from our dreams. It all comes back to our feelings.
Your Mind is a Soap Opera Writing Machine
There are a couple of acronyms for fear: False Expectations Appearing Real or Failure Expected And Received.
A more formal definition would be the anticipation of pain.
This definition illustrates the fact that fear is about the FUTURE. Can we live in the future? No, but our mind sure spends a lot of time there. It’s busy making up scenarios of what will happen if you do this thing you fear. And they’re always elaborate and a little crazy, just like a soap opera.
Confidentially Confident
In moments like these, you may not feel confident. All you may feel is stress, pain and/or fear. Others, seeing you from the outside, may be amazed at your fortitude. They may not say it in so many words, but when someone acts in integrity, against the odds we on the outside see that as being confident.
