Empower Newsletter – March 2011
Welcome to the March, 2011 edition of the Empower Newsletter. How are your goals progressing? It will help to keep up your motivation if you mark your progress along the way with rewards. Have you decided which milestones to reward and what the reward will be? It can be as simple as giving yourself a pat on the back.
Quote of the month
‘If you can’t, you must, and if you must, you can’ Anthony Robbins
Affirmation corner
‘I am capable of more than I can possibly dream. I allow myself to think big, dream big, and live with a heart overflowing with love.’
Did you know?
’that people will do more to avoid pain than they will to gain pleasure’
The first time I heard this profound statement, I asked for it to be repeated. It sounds absurd! Why wouldn’t we want to have more pleasure in our lives? The answer is we do! It’s the perceived thought of what we have to go through to get it that holds us back.
Just imagine if you dreaded the thought of being judged. You would no doubt avoid having to feel this emotion; therefore you can see how you would consistently avoid entering any situation where this may occur.
Putting off that dreaded conversation with your partner because you are afraid of losing them or having an argument with them is another example of doing more to avoid the pain this brings than feeling the pleasure in what could be gained from resolving the issue.
What areas of your life are you doing more to avoid pain than to gain pleasure?
A great read
The Secret of their Success by Ali Lassen
This book in broken up into short stories about how 50 Women Entrepreneurs ‘made it’!
The main messages that came across to me in this book was that they put their success down to taking ‘action’ and not letting ‘rejection’ stand in their way.
I highly recommend this book to any woman who has ever thought about going into business for herself. It is an easy read and is truly inspirational.
Events Schedule
Chicks in the City Wed 9/3/2011 at 6.30pm
Chicks in the City usually meet the third Wednesday of every month from 6.30pm to 8pm at Ryde Eastwood Leagues Club, 117 Ryedale Road, West Ryde in the Hawks Lounge (lower ground lounge area). However just for this month we will be meeting the second Wednesday night of the month.
Chicks in the City are a group for women to connect. Basically it’s all about hanging out with women, meeting new friends, socialising, finding like-minded women to chat to or even making long lasting friendships. All women are welcome and it’s free. I look forward to seeing you there.
Fears
Fear is normal and waiting for fear to disappear is like waiting for the impossible. Fear is always there, but so is courage. When we take action, we feel courage.
Do any of the following fears resonate with you?
• Fear of not being good enough? • Fear of not being loved? • Fear of not belonging?
Once you are consciously aware of the fears that have ruled your life up until now, you have reached the most powerful level of self-awareness you will ever have. After pushing through these fears you will move into courage and your journey to success and personal growth will really begin.
