Putting the "U" back in You

Putting the "U" back in You!

Sometimes we wonder what happened to us. We wake up one day, we look in the mirror and we do not like what is looking back at us! As we gaze upon the women we see, we wonder, what has happened to that person we once used to be?

Life comes with many challenges and obstacles, sometimes they appear on the outside to be worse than they really are. It's easy to allow the struggles of life to cloud our judgments, to taint our thoughts, or to cause us to doubt our own intuition. Thus, we become caught up in the whirlwinds of chaos.

So, how do we get back to who we once were? While it's possible to return to who you once were, it is more important to realize where you are Now, to be in the present moment, then take stock of what should be released and what should then become integrated into the "Who" you would like to become.

Becoming the empowered woman, is a learning process. One, which doesn't happen overnight. Awareness is the key to initiate and create the changes we want to integrate into our lives. Once we become aware that change is required, we begin to seek within to uncover what changes are necessary. This inner discovery can cause one to shed old beliefs and out-dated patterns leading us towards a new found freedom in creating the changes we seek.

Once we begin creating the life we desire, we begin to see those parts of us that we had given away to others. We begin to realize that we cannot please all the people all the time, that there will always be someone out there who will be unhappy with choices we make. Now, we have granted our selves permission to honor our own thoughts, desires and purpose, which leads us towards empowerment!

Empowering women is my passion in life. I, too, have gone from a place of "brokeness" and have now moved into a feeling of "wholeness" and so can you! There is hope, there is peace, there is wholeness for every woman out there. As being a survivor of domestic violence, learning to put the "U" back in You is the first step in learning to love again, that person who is looking back at you in the mirror.

Boundary Settings and Hypnosis

How can hypnosis aid in establishing boundaries?
Hypnosis is a tool to help quiet and bypass the consciousness and speak directly with the subconscious mind. Our subconscious mind houses all our beliefs, learned behaviors and associations. It is also, where our automatic responses reside.

Our conscious mind holds within itself our abilities to reason, our logic, our decision making, and our will. It is the home of "ego." Through hypnosis, we can bypass our defense mechanisms and go straight to re-programming our old, out-dated beliefs.

Chances are if we grew up in a dysfunctional family, like myself, we never were blessed with the skills to learn how to set proper boundaries. We become "people pleasers" or worse, "doormats!" These behaviors have become some ingrained within our subconscious, that we aren't even aware that we are reacting to these old patterns of behavior.

Through hypnosis, it's possible to return somewhere between the ages of 3 - 6, apply some assertive behaviors towards a family member who left us, once with a sense of disempowerment. Believe it or not, this one step, not only builds our self-esteem, but our confidence as well. Hypnosis is a safe and effective means to bring about behavioral change.

If you are one of the millions, like myself, who have little or no boundaries and allow others to treat you poorly, or if you are a parent with children who act out, learn more about how hypnosis can help!
May the Light of Your Spirit Guide You!
