Empower Newsletter – July 2013
Welcome to the July edition of the Empower Newsletter. It’s the middle of winter and what better time to snuggle up and reflect on where we are now, what we have achieved and what we want to achieve in our lives. Are you where you want to be?
Did you know?
‘your mojo is always with you!’
Do you sometimes think you have lost your mojo and wonder if you will ever find it again?
What is ‘your mojo’ anyway! The dictionary definition describes it as a charm or spell, but it’s more commonly used to describe a talent, a good luck charm, sex appeal or the way you present yourself. In actual fact it means different things for each of us. For some of us it is about feeling great about ourselves or believing we are good at something, and for others it’s about having self-confidence or self-assuredness.
Whatever your mojo means to you, it is never too far away. Even if you think you have never really found your mojo, it is there for you to take. You see our mojo is a belief we have about ourselves and unfortunately somewhere along the line we have decided, usually unconsciously, to let it go or not believe in it at all.
Whether something changed in your life, someone said something that made you question yourself or you believe you never really had it at all, it doesn’t matter. We all have our own mojo and it is within each of us all the time. We are the ones that denied it or allowed it be become lost or buried!
Love is a great way to find your mojo. It has the power to make you feel sexy, appealing and invincible. When I say ‘love’, I mean love of self. By loving yourself, you are not going to let what others think, how you look or what you are doing in your life affect how you feel and act!
Imagine if someone you loved, perhaps your child, parents, partner or a friend, allowed a situation or what others thought of them dictate how they felt. What advice would you give them? Would you want them to question themselves and allow their mojo to be lost, or would you want them to be self-confident and self-assured and continue to feel their mojo! I am sure you would want the best for them. So how about wanting the same for yourself! After all, if you are functioning at your best, you are more able to be all you can for others.
Another way to find your mojo is to ‘act as if’ you have it. In other words, if you did have it how would you be acting? If you continue to ‘act as if’ you already had it, before you know it you will have it. This principle works on the theory that you are creating a habit. It will work for anything! All you have to do is do it long enough and eventually it will become the norm.

Something to Ponder
“Because one believes in oneself, one doesn’t try to convince others. Because one is content with oneself, one doesn’t need others’ approval. Because one accepts oneself, the whole world accepts him or her.”
~ Lao Tzu ~
Quote of the Month

~ Theodore Roosevelt ~
