RISING WOMEN EXPERT
ADVICE...
I’ve had some very
harsh life experiences and now I find myself always doubting my choices and
afraid to do anything. How can I get past this?
Everyone experiences some form of a setback, adversity, failure or loss in
at least one area of their life at some time. This can leave residual
feelings of anxiety, stress, frustration, disappointment, fear, sadness or
panic. Setbacks and adversity are often signals that some aspect of life has
come to an end or needs to come to an end. They are wake-up calls which we
can choose to resist or embrace. Life brings each person unique
opportunities to learn and grow as a result of the events or circumstances
that cross their path.
Adversity gives us the opportunity to do a number of things as we move
through our lives. Some of them are: re-evaluate old life patterns that are
not working; see ourselves more clearly as a contributor; develop new
attitudes about life, relationships, money, people, work; observe how we
handle the lessons we are given. When we operate out of a consciousness of
fear, we tend to lose our perspective. We don’t think rightly, see clearly
or feel safe. We, therefore, see ourselves as victims and out of control of
our lives.
Adversity can be a tool for positive change. If the wake-up call is heard,
we can listen carefully to what we believe it is trying to teach us. This
takes self-awareness, courage, self-love and patience. If we are too hard on
ourselves and beat ourselves up thinking “I am such an idiot” or “I deserve
all this bad stuff”, then we will find it difficult to create the proper
mind-set to change direction.
It is important to do something to re-focus your thoughts, energy or
activities in a positive or healthier direction. Remember you can’t change
what has happened, but you can change the future. You change your future in
your present moments. You also create all of your positive or negative
memories in your present moments. You always get to choose how to react or
respond to life circumstances. Use adversity as a positive teacher who has
come lovingly into your life to help you overcome shortcomings, character
defaults or poor judgment. And most important, keep your confidence in
yourself.
Hypnosis can assist you in enhancing a positive self-belief, EFT and Emotion
Code can release the “stuck” negative, emotional energy, Psych-K can help
you change beliefs, and BodyTalk can address internalized stress at all
levels.
