You are capable of far more than you know

Confidence leads to action and action leads to to greater confidence. Making smart decisions up front makes the path smoother overall. Bold moves leads to stellar destinations. We as women have a tendency to underestimate our own potential. You are capable far more than you know. You have to believe that. Stop underestimating yourself. When you do, you will begin communicating your openness to a better life. In your relationships,  your career, finances and even your health. Your faith will expand and so will your success.

“The most successful people make wise decisions early in life and manage those decisions for the rest of their lives.” I will never forget the first time I heard this from expert John Maxwell and it stuck with me. Whether in your relationships, career, financial abilities,  health and fitness habits or spiritual journey,  starting strong makes the rest of your path easier. your internal beliefs about yourself directly influence your external success.

Model The Behavior You Want

Too many parents are dishonest,  unkind, swear and gossip to name a few and expect that their children will not do the same. Children are great observers.  They are watching your every move and if you are not careful they will pick up your worse habits and parade them around for the entire world to see. If you want to give your child anything, start with giving them a secure, well adjusted,  confident, honest,  loving, positive woman and man of integrity and character.  Model those qualities so that they grow up emulating the greatness in you. ♡

Value Your Voice

Ha llegado el momento de tomar algunas decisiones claras y definitivas.  Debes afirmar tu independencia: no de una manera masculina y contundente, no en un esfuerzo por lastimar o castigar a otros, sino de una manera que honre quién eres tú como una mujer de gran propósito y carácter.  A medida que cambies, comenzarás a darte cuenta de que no eres la misma persona que solías ser.  Las cosas que solías tolerar se han vuelto intolerables.  Donde antes permanecías en silencio, ahora estás diciendo tu verdad.  Donde una vez luchaste y discutiste, ahora eliges permanecer en silencio.  Estás comenzando a comprender el valor de tu voz y hay algunas situaciones que ya no merecen tu tiempo, energía y enfoque.  Sí, se están haciendo cambios.  Se están produciendo cambios.  Ponte a la altura de las circunstancias y mantente firme y con gracia en tu poder femenino.
A veces, permanecer en silencio y tomar medidas poderosas e intencionales es la forma de resolver un conflicto de largo tiempo.  ¿En qué situaciones de tu vida puedes aplicar esta estrategia?

The time has come to make some definite, clear desicions. You must assert your independence: not in a forceful,  masculine way , not in an effort to hurt or punish others, but in a way that honors who you are as a woman of great purpose and character. As you are shifting, you will begin to realize that you are not the same person you used to be. The things that you used to tolerate have become intolerable. Where you once remained quiet, you are now speaking your truth. Where you once battled and argued, you are now choosing to remain silent. You are beginning to understand the value of your voice, and there are some situations that no longer deserve your time, energy and focus. Yes, changes are being made. Shifts are occurring. Rise to the occasion,  and stand firmly and gracefully in your feminine power.

Sometimes, remaining silent and taking powerful,  intentional action is the way to resolve long standing conflict. What situations in your life can you apply this strategy?

There is a direct relationship between your own level of self-esteem and the health of your personality. The more you like and respect yourself, the more you like and respect other people. The more you consider yourself to be valuable and worthwhile person, the more you consider others to be valuable and worthwhile as well. The more you accept yourself just as you are, the more you accept others just as they are.

Positive thinking does not build self-image. Positive acts do.

Purpose

¿Alguna vez has notado personas que entraron a una habitación y podías sentir su presencia? Simplemente parecían saber lo que estaban haciendo y hacia dónde iban. Ellos trajeron energía a la habitación.
Es casi como si su presencia hubiera entrado en la habitación antes que ellos. Eso no es ego ni arrogancia. Es propósito. Las personas con propósito caminan con aire de distinción, como si tuvieran un porqué en cada paso.
¿No te gustaría tener ese mismo sentido de propósito?
Las personas que conocen su por qué pueden mantener la cabeza mientras todo a su alrededor está en crisis. Y eso atrae a otros hacia ellos.
Espero que tengas un propósito y, si no lo tienes, que te tomes el tiempo para buscar tu propósito en la vida.

Have you ever noticed people who walked into a room and you could feel their presence? They just seemed to know what they are doing and where they were going. They brought energy into the room.

It’s almost like their presence entered the room before they did. That’s no ego or arrogance. Its purpose. People with purpose walk with an air of distinction, as if they have a why in every step.

Wouldn’t you like to have that same sense of purpose?

People who know their why can keep their heads while everything around them is in turmoil. And that draws others to them.

I hope you have purpose and if you don’t may you make the time to search for your purpose in life.

The Power of Mental Imagery

“Tu mente da a luz tu realidad”.

¿Cuáles son los ejercicios de imágenes mentales más comunes que ensaya?  ¿Te imaginas en tu mejor momento todos los días?  ¿Te ves feliz, exitoso y en paz?  ¿Te ves viviendo tu visión en el ojo de tu mente?
Este fin de semana quiero que uses el poder de las imágenes mentales para fortalecer tu resolución de avanzar con valentía y por completo hacia la vida que es posible para ti.
Primero, identifique un escenario específico en el que desea verse en el futuro.  Pregunte: ¿Qué estoy haciendo?  ¿Con quién estoy?  ¿Dónde estoy exactamente?  ¿Cuándo ocurrirá?  Pinta una imagen vívida para tu mente.
A continuación, cállate.  Respira, Relájate.
Finalmente imagínate a ti mismo en la visión como si fuera el momento presente.  ¿Cómo te sientes?  ¿Qué ves, saboreas, tocas?  Permanezca allí durante al menos 60 segundos.
Haz de las imágenes mentales un hábito diario.  Comience durante los próximos siete días dedicando solo dos minutos al día a imaginarse viviendo plenamente en su visión divinamente inspirada.  Cuando lo veas, lo creerás.  Y lo que crees que es posible, te mueves hacia eso.

¿Cuál es el escenario específico que se siente distante, pero también verdadero para ti?

“Your mind births your reality.”

What are the most common mental-imagery exercises you rehearse? Do you imagine yourself at your best daily? Do you see yourself happy, successful and at peace? Do you see yourself living your vision in your mind’s eye?

This weekend I want you to use the power of mental imagery to strengthen your resolve to boldly and fully move toward the life that is possible for you.

First, identify a specific scenario in which you want to see yourself in the future. Ask: What am I doing? Who am I with? Where am I precisely? When will it occur? Paint a vivid picture for your mind.
Next, get quiet. Breathe, Relax.

Finally imagine yourself in the vision as if it the present moment. How do you feel? What do you see, taste, touch? Stay there for at least 60 seconds.

Make a mental imagery a daily habit. Start for the next seven days by carving out just two minutes a day to imagine yourself living fully in your divinely inspired vision. When you see it, you’ll believe it. And what you believe is possible, you move toward.

What is the specific scenario that feels distant, but also feels true for you?

You are exactly where you need to be

The one thing that can really hold you back is feeling like you should be further along in life. With that feeling comes guilt,  anger, resentment,  regret,  and blame. You cannot powerfully manifest if you are living in the basement of your emotions. It may be true: You could be further along in your life. But the ultimate truth is: You are exactly where you need to be.  The mistake you have made cannot be erased. But your past is not your prison.  It is the necessary part of your journey that has made you wiser. Forgive it all so you can move on. As you do this, your life would begin to flow like a river. Everything you think you’ve lost , time, money, relationships,  etc…will be restored to you a hundredfold

Accept Changes With Grace

If you receive news that changes your plans or experience some kind of setback or delay, don’t react negatively. Don’t get frustrated or upset . The universe is watching how you respond to these changes because you are being set up for more abundance. The blessings that are about to flow into your life will come with another level of responsibility. When you gripe and complain, it shows that you are not ready, and it will take longer to receive your rewards. Negativity always slows the manifestation process. Instead accept the changes with grace . Rise to the challenge. You’ll never get more than you can handle. You are just being tested.

A Daily Reminder

One of the most powerful things you can do is be truthful about where you are and how you feel. Being unwilling to face the uncomfortable parts of your life will lead to stagnation.  If you are feeling stuck or beating your head against a wall, ask yourself: what am I avoiding or resisting? What situation am I hiding from? What am I sweeping under the rug? What issues from my past am I unwilling to face? It takes courage to unmask the hidden parts of your soul. It takes faith to lay bare the broken pieces of your heart, but liberation is the reward for exposing the dark, covered parts of your life. Be brave enough to be honest with yourself.  Lies will stunt your growth.  The truth is the only thing that has the power to set you free.

Always Do Your Best

Under any circumstances,  always do your best. No more and no less. But keep in mind that your best is never going to be the same from one moment to the next. Everything is alive and changing all the time. So your best sometimes will be high quality,  and other times it will not be as good.

Doing your best,  you are going to live your life intensely.  You are going to be productive,  you are going to be good to yourself,  because you will be giving yourself to your family,  to your community,  to everything. But it is the action that is going to make you feel intensely happy. When you always do your best,  you take action. Doing your best is taking the action because you love it. Not because you are expecting a reward.

When you do your best you learn to accept yourself. But you have to be aware and learn from your mistakes. Learning from your mistakes means you practice, look honestly at the results and keep practicing.

You do your best because your best all the time makes you so happy.

Whatever life takes you away from you,  let it go. When you surrender and let go of the last, you allow yourself to be fully alive in the moment. Letting go of the past means you can enjoy the dream that is happening right now.

You were born with the right to be happy. You were born with the right to love, to enjoy and to share your love. Don’t resist life passing through you.

We so not need to know or prove anything.  Just to be , to take a risk and enjoy your life, is all that matters.  Say No when you want to say No and Yes when you want to say Yes. You have the right to be you.
