TOPIC OF THE MONTH
Be Your Own Fairy Godmother This Holiday With
A Gift From Your Soul
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hey, ladies! What if you went outside of our comfort zone this holiday
season and gave yourself a gift along with giving to everyone else? Not only
that....what if you dared to make it the ultimate self care tool?
Did you notice any reaction to that question? Did you feel that it is
somehow wrong or inappropriate to give yourself a gift.? I think that many
of us do. We also know... intellectually anyway that we can only be as
available to others as we are to ourselves. In fact, when our well is empty,
our life force is dried up, we aren't available energetically to others.
Have I convinced you to keep an open mind about this yet....even just a
little? Giving yourself a gift is really giving a gift to everyone else you
care about too.
I'm not talking about just any gift. I'm talking about the ultimate
gift....a gift from your soul. A gift from your soul fills our inner well
and floods us with pure life force energy. A good friend of mine and I were
talking about what the ultimate gift would be to give ourselves. After
exhausting all the physical toys and pleasures, we started to go deeper.
Yup... deeper than spas and massages and a holiday in Hawaii!! We started to
get into more of the spiritual gifts like self love, self appreciation, and
self trust. These qualities are energetic gifts from our soul that have a
lasting value and expand in value value the more that we use them!
In order to have access to them, we have to get actively involved in the
process of giving them to ourselves. We have to engage them on our own
behalf. This often feels very uncomfortable and selfish to us. It feels much
more comfortable when someone else gives them to us. But it's time now for
us to stop waiting for others to fill our well. It's time for us to become
our own midlife fairy godmother... or we will wait forever!
The gift that finally won first prize for my friend and me was self trust.
Self trust is the capacity to know deep down that we can count on
ourselves.....that we will be there for ourselves in the same way that we
are there for others. When we know this, we become our own best friend. It
is one of the greatest gifts that each of us has access to. But we need to
be proactive and give it to ourselves.
We learn to trust ourselves when we behave in ways that honor and care for
who we are. Learning to trust ourselves is an integral part of being able to
access our energy and our power for the second half of our lives. I've also
noticed that my inner magical child feels taken care of, safe, and secure
when I do this. Self trust is a magnificent self empowerment tool. When we
have a deep inner trust in ourselves, our life changes dramatically.

How Much Do You Trust Yourself?
Take this quiz and find out
*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*!*
Rank yourself from one to ten with one representing not at all and
ten
representing all the time. This quiz was modified from one in Cheryl Richardsons book, "Take Charge of Your Life"
~*~ When you make a promise to yourself do you keep it? For example, if
figure out how to carve out some time for yourself to watch a video or
snuggle up with a good book, do you cancel it when an unexpected invitation
comes along or someone desperately needs you ... again?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10
~*~ Do you stand up for yourself when someone steps over your boundaries or
is inappropriate with you? Can you tell your spouse or sibling that it's not
a good time? That you have plans to do something that is very important to
you?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10
~*~ Can you trust yourself to make tough choices on your own behalf ? Can
you leave a relationship that weakens your self esteem? Can you walk away
from a job where you are being treated badly?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10
~*~ Do you honor you own basic needs? Do you take breaks when needed, eat
well when hungry, sleep when tired?
1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10

Designing Your Own Gift To Fit Your Needs
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
~*~Have you seen some of the ways that you allow your energy to get depleted
by not being able to trust yourself to be there for yourself?
~*~ What are some of the changes you can make in order to do that?
~*~ Choose one.
~*~ When will you begin? How about this holiday season when your are being
pulled this way and that?
~*~ How are you going to remind yourself and stick with it?
~*~ Do you have an empowerment buddy or a coach to support and champion you?
If not, will you get one?
When we develop this kind of self trust, we are able to tune into how we
really feel and use our feelings to guide choices which evoke self-respect.
At the same time we become less attached to the opinions of others and make
decisions that support self- empowerment.
