Love- Be Your Own Super Hero

First thing to becoming your own “Superhero” is realizing that it’s all you, and that no one is coming to save you! You can learn to take positive actions that make you feel powerful, and those can lead to good things happening in every part of your life.

How do we start? First, by adopting a “Super-hero” mind-set, and starting to take actions that empower you to make positive changes in your life. Believing that you can is powerful, and that starts with a small steps that can become everyday habits.

1) Have self-awareness: Learn about yourself in order to understand your strengths, weaknesses, goals, and values. Self -awareness is your beginning of personal growth & empowerment. What’s your super-power?

2) Define your goals: Take a look at your life, and make clear decisions about where you want to go, and what you want to do with it. Make a list of career, relationship, health, or personal development goals, and begin to take steps to achieve them. Prioritize, and start with one goal at a time, taking small realistic steps.

3) Learn & develop skills: Knowledge is a superpower! When we decide to keep learning, we are constantly working on our “self-improvement”, and this is crucial for our personal growth & empowerment.

4) Maintain a positive mindset: Create a positive outlook with your life by practicing gratitude , focusing on solutions, and believing in yourself & your abilities to move forward.

5) Be Courageous: Have the courage to step out of your comfort zone & try new things. Practice “Contrary-Action”, every day, and this will help you face your fears and challenges and make you feel like a “Super-Hero.”

6) Get support- Build up a group / network of positive & safe friends, mentors, and allies with similar interests & goals. They can provide encouragement, guidance, and advice when needed. It’s also helpful to have people that you can network with and bounce ideas off of in a positive & supportive way.

7) Don’t ever give up: See your set-backs and failures as opportunities to learn and grow. Always try to bounce back from adversity, and keep moving forward, remembering that a super-hero always comes back in the end.

Always remember that it’s about progress, not perfection as long as you are doing the best you can, and you are progressing forward. Life is truly a journey of self-discovery and personal growth, and being brave enough to realize this is owning a “super-hero” mentality.

Love / Surrender and Acceptance

When life doesn’t seem to be working out in the way that I think it should, I need to accept the reality, find peace within myself, and surrender the need to control. Accepting life’s reality means accepting change and realize that it is a fundamental part of life and will happen. Holding on to situations lightly can ease the emotional loads I carry, and also reduce attachment and suffering. This means I still care, yet I’m able to detach from attaching. Practicing acceptance has brought me peace of mind, and it can really help me to surrender. Finding peace within myself means accepting everything that’s happening around me and not take it personally. It involves learning to trust the process of what is happening, and let go of the outcomes. Many times the most challenging experiences of my life have led to my greatest growth. The need to control is powerful for me, and I developed this negative trait as a survival technique growing up in a household with alcoholism ...

Forgive / Forgiveness, Healing & Freedom

One of the most loving things we can do for others & ourselves in this lifetime is to practice forgiveness. The term “practice forgiveness”, is to do it in the best way we know how. We may not do it “perfectly” hence the word practice. Yet to try brings value to not just the other person, but to ourselves, for it is a scrubbing of our spirit that washes us clean of negative emotions. When we feel injured or find fault with another persons actions or decisions, judgements can form, and resentments can grow. These can cloud our vision and quite literally take up space in both our minds and our bodies. The injury we feel can cause anger, and the negative emotions can make our jaw clench & tighten, and our blood boil. These negative emotions can move into the body, much like a person moves into a house, and not leave. They act up, behaving like the very worst tenants ever, wrecking havoc in the home that is our body. This can result in “dis-ease” of the body and soul, a...

Love of Self / 3 Easy ways to Empower Yourself

When we want positive change in our lives, but we aren’t sure what do, sometimes it can be helpful to start by how we think, speak, & feel. Think it- Think of those positive things that you want to happen, and realize that just by thinking about the good things you are creating a start. Create a mental picture of whatever your dream or goal may be, and hold it in your mind. Make this a practice that you can do each & every day. Keep the thought crystal clear. Hold that thought in your mind each day for at least 5 minutes & do this everyday at the same time. This is where you start. Speak it- Words can be very powerful & carry a vibratory force all their own. Take some time to notice what you say, how you say it, & to who.

Speak of all the good things that you have, and that can be...
