Empower Newsletter – October 2012
Welcome to the October Newsletter. The focus this month is about how consciously thinking about what we do can create enough awareness to change our reality!
Do you know?
‘what are you doing that is no longer necessary?’
As children we take on certain roles because they serve us at the time. Roles such as that of a peace maker, having to be good all the time, doing the right thing, being responsible, being studious or sporty, or even the clown.
The thing is, we go through life continuing in these roles long after some of them are no longer necessary or no longer serving us. In actual fact some of our roles are disempowering and hindering us in our adult lives.
It’s as if we are on ‘auto pilot’ not thinking about what we are doing or who we are being, we are just doing what we have always done. It worked back then so we continue to do it or be it now.
The roles we have taken on were developed from beliefs we had created about ourselves, beliefs created as children. For example, a child may have taken on the role of peacemaker in their home because they believed that if they did everything they could to be good and make sure everything stayed calm their parents would be happy with them. The last thing they would have wanted was to be responsible for their parents fighting or even worse, getting a divorce.
The thing is we are adults now, and these antiquated roles are not who we are and are not who we need to be to get us what we want.
Are you still playing out a role you created based on a child’s mentality?
A Great Read
Influence
The Psychology of Persuasion
By Robert B. Cialdini, PH.D.
This book is sensational! It doesn’t matter what your role in life is, this book is for everyone. Have you ever walked away from a situation feeling like you had been taken advantage of; found yourself not being able to say no because you were worried about how it would look, or out of a sense of obligation? Well if you answered yes to any of the above this book will give you an understanding of how this occurs and what you can do about it. It also gives away a lot of secrets (tricks of the trade) used in getting us to do and/or buy products and/or services. The book covers reciprocation, consistency, social proof, liking, authority and scarcity. I highly recommend it!

Something to Ponder
The average human today, thinks 60,000 thoughts per day! Those thoughts, whether random or focused, conscious or unconscious, represent the seeds that you are planting and are continuously affirming and consistently feeding information to the subconscious mind which determines WHAT you are attracting and WHAT is manifesting in the form of outcomes that you come to see and experience in your physical world!
