Music matters in the meantime

During transition from where you are to where you want to be, music can be incredibly inspiring, motivating and uplifting. Choosing music whose lyrics speak of courage, faith, overcoming obstacles and moving beyond the illusion of limitations can help you to take action when feeling powerless, in despair and out of sorts. Play music that makes you want to move your body and dance throughout the house. Notice the shift in your mood, listen and shout out the words, feel its vibration throughout your being and immerse yourself in the power of the music.
Release yourself physically, mentally and spiritually from the things that bind you to the problem. Feel freedom from what ails you as you shake off and detach from the challenges and obstacles of whatever is holding you captive to the negative. You will find that you begin to think out of the box, come up with creative solutions and initiate new actions that are in alignment with your vision and goals. One of my power songs is Soar by Christina Aguilera. What songs get you to feel like you could overcome any problem, conquer any percieved limitation and inspire you to take the next giant step to your empowered future? I have a playlist on itunes with all of my power songs and I make a point to listen to them everyday, either when working out, writing or just chilling. Have fun collecting your power playlist and then dance yourself into courage, hope, and joy.

Freedom from abuse

Freedom from abuse begins with self care. It begins with what you say to yourself all day long. What are the comments spoken unconsciously and continuously throughout the day? What are your thoughts when you look in a mirror, sit alone in your car or when you encounter a challenge too difficult to achieve? Listen carefully to the voice within. Are these comments loving, compassionate messages or are they self loathing and condemning? You have a choice to accept only those thoughts that encourage honor, respect and love of self and reject those that create disappointment, judgment and dis empowerment. Start by consciously observing your thoughts sifting through the constant chatter in your mind allowing only those that serve you to stay and converting the others to thoughts of power, strength and acceptance.
Pay close attention to your environment. Is your car, home or closets cluttered ? Are they in disarray or are they organized and filled with items that fill you with serenity, peace and power? Self care is reflected in the way you keep your surroundings. Do you surround yourself with things that bring you power or things that weaken you?
Do you allow yourself time alone? Is there a specified time each day dedicated to doing the things you like to do? It could be reading a book, spending time in nature, or taking a soothing bath. Meditation is another wonderful way to reconnect with your Spirit, your inner desires, passions and purpose. Who are you, what are your beliefs, what makes you feel good and what are the boundaries you need to set?
Writing in a journal is another method of self care. It helps to assess the day rewarding self when appropriate and making changes when necessary.
Starting right now, what can you do differently to send loving messages to self?
Give yourself a great big hug of appreciation and smile at yourself in the mirror as you align your thoughts, feelings and actions in order to create a loving environment for yourself and your life.

Many Blessings for a fantabulous day!

Empowerment is an inside job

Empowerment is an inside job! Stay conscious of your thoughts, create a vision, become inspired, take bold action and detach from the results. Dare to dream: entertain your most wild and crazy desire. Continue to fan the flame of your intentions understanding and having faith that you are limitless potential. Only restricted mindset can block the path to your desired destination.

No one can take away your dreams, your desire, or your spirit. Stay connected to your moral compass, following your inner truth.

Practise connecting to your inner truth on a daily basis through meditation, spending time in nature, being still long enough to observe your thoughts, and focusing on your breath. Take the time to give your ear, shoulder, and time to someone else. Perform small anonymous acts of kindness.

Love yourself by setting boundaries and detaching from those things that weaken you.

Integrate experiences into your life that bring you power.

What are the things that help you to feel empowered? Acknowledging the miracle of nature by observing a spider web with droplets of morning dew shimmering and glistening on a summer day, a warm gentle breeze against your cheek, connecting with a supportive friend, playing with a child, eating nutrient dense foods, taking a yoga class? What is it that allows you to uncover the spectacular spirit within. Spread your wings, soar with the Hawks and create a stupendous life. http://destination-empowerment.com/calendar.html
