Special Report: Three things you can do today to know and love who you are!
If you already took the Know and Love Who You Are test, you are probably ready to identify what you can do today to improve your score. Congratulations! You are on your way because the first step to improving your life is curiosity and an open mind.
So, let me tell you the three things you can do today.
Slow down and listen are the first two things you can do. What do I mean when I say slow down? Well, the interesting thing that I see that stops women from making progress when they come to me for psychotherapy is that they never take time for themselves. They are so busy running from here to there and getting all of their "work" done that they don't understand why at the end of the day they are unhappy, tapped out and feeling unfulfilled. Yes, we women hold the world together, but if we do not attend to ourselves, we will find ourselves out in the middle of the proverbial desert without any water!
So, slowing down requires you to take some time to breathe each and every day. Find some quiet time when you can disconnect from the noise and pressures of your day. It can be as little as ten minutes. But slow down and allow some silence in your life. Some women find that the only time they can make for silence is in their car. If that's true for you, that's fine. Turn off the radio. Get quiet. Breathe.
Once you have quieted yourself, the second thing you can do for yourself today is listen! Listen to your higher, inner voice. Listen to your feelings. Do you know where they are? They reside in your solar-plexus. Your feelings are your guide, helping you maintain the balance you need inside and in interaction with the world. They are the interactive tools you need to make your life whole, well and happy.
Now that you have gotten quiet and listened to your feelings, I ask you: "What does your inner voice tell you that you need to do to achieve more happiness and balance in your life?" That is the third step. Get really clear about what your feelings are telling you. What does your body need? What do you need in your mind and Spirit? When you are clear on that, it is time to take action. Action is the third step. Take one self-nurturing step today. As you fill yourself up, you will be in a better position to give to and nurture every person in your life whom you love and for whom you are responsible.
