Are You Holding Yourself Back?

How do you know when something is holding you back?

When you think of your past, does it fill you with regret, blame, sadness, fear or any heavy emotion that weighs you down?  If the answer is yes, that’s a sign that you probably need to release what’s weighing you down.

Do you feel hopeless, doubtful or a general sense of tiredness when you think of your life?  If the answer is yes, it’s likely that you need to release what’s draining your energy.

To the extent that limiting beliefs, heavy emotions and old wounds weigh you down, you’re not free to move forward.  Heavy emotions, such as worry, jealousy and feeling offended, drain your energy and keep you stuck in the past.  You need plenty of energy to successfully create what you long for. That’s why you must free yourself from inner demons.

Sometimes just becoming aware of negative thoughts can be enough to defeat them. There will be times, however, when awareness alone will not defeat your inner demons.  That’s when releasing practices can help you.

Do You Know Your Energy Leaks?

Memories, people, events and ideas that deplete your energy are energy leaks.  They drain your life force.  More often, they rob you of energy in subtle ways over time.

If a close friend were to ask you what your energy leaks are, what would you say?  It comes back again to awareness.

To change your reality, you must know yourself intimately.  You need to know your strengths and weaknesses.  We all have energy leaks.  Some people have more than others, but we all need to work on ourselves.

Whether you need to let go of self-pity, regret, impatience or depression (to name a few), face each one, forgive and let go.  It does not empower you at all to rehash the past with judgment, regret or blame.  Take responsibility for your emotions and release those that weaken you.

What Will You Gain By Stopping Your Energy Leaks?

When you stop your energy leaks, you build up your energy and can alter your destiny.  You put yourself in a place of power by choosing strength over weakness.  It’s always up to you to choose what gives you strength.

By growing your inner power, you gain benefits on all levels.  Remember, the physical and spiritual worlds are interconnected.

As our energy increases, even in small degrees, we’re more likely to have insights, to see new possibilities, to feel stronger and experience more optimism.  We shift energetically, just as water changes when exposed to certain thoughts.

When that happens, we tend to increasingly draw resources and people into our lives that will help us.  Our probable future changes as we change our inner world.

How Do You Treat Your Money Goals?

What are your money goals?

What does wealth mean to you?

Is it having a certain amount of money in the bank or is it having a certain lifestyle that makes you feel rich?  Is wealth the freedom to spend your days doing what you love and getting paid for it?  Does wealth mean exotic traveling and living in a beautiful home?

Whatever wealth means to you, know that there is usually more than one way to get what you want.

You can greatly improve your financial situation and enhance your lifestyle in multiple ways, once you open your mind up to the possibilities.  When it comes to money goals, most people think of only creating more money.  Yes, you can make more money, and you can do much more than that too!

Here are two stories that show how it’s possible to get what you want without spending what you think you need to spend.

A friend of mine once offered a business owner his ideas on how to resolve a serious issue the company owner was having.  My friend offered his business advice as a personal favor.  He didn’t realize that he was engaging in a barter.  The company owner was so impressed with my friend’s astute business insights that he asked my friend what he would like to receive in return.  My friend, who had wanted to buy a Bentley for years, told the business owner that he wanted his Bentley.

Yes, he got the Bentley.  My friend enjoyed telling me this story as we drove around in his new car.  (The average price of a Bentley is around $150,000.)

I once spoke with a young woman in San Francisco who had started her marketing business in the prior year.  She lamented that she was going crazy trying to run her business by herself.  From morning to night, she was constantly working.

In talking to her, it became obvious that she was spending time doing tasks that she could easily be delegating.  I suggested that she hire someone right away before the stress became out of control.  She agreed, but a few moments later complained that her business was not making enough money to hire anyone.  When I told her that she could hire full time help from college-educated pools in foreign countries for a fraction of what she imagined, she looked shocked.

She recognized that her former employer had made millions by outsourcing to India, yet it had never occurred to her that an individual could hire from abroad too!  By the end of our conversation, it was clear that she could in fact hire someone to help her in her business. Her previous money goal to make more money in order to hire someone was no longer needed.

When we learn to think expansively about our money goals, and life in general, we open up the doors of possibilities. We perceive new ways to achieve our objectives.

It is then when the probability increases that we can achieve our money goals and goals overall.
