My Personal Best ~ How Far Can I Go?
No Limits Self-Transformation
The WISDOM podcast Season 4 Episode 19
~ In every moment ~ you all hold a choice. The choices you decide determine everything. ~
💜
~ The Fourth in a Series of Six on Personal Transformation ~
Personal transformation is an ever-changing and uniquely individualized process of expanding consciousness whereby individuals become consciously aware of previous and new self-perceptions and choose to integrate these into a new definition and way of being ~ of self.
To help you get started ~ to provide some of the road map that will set you up for the personal ideals that you can live by ~ be sure to check out my Episode featuring the eight self-transformational tools that become the success habits of your life up levelled. Listen here:
😊
"Personal transformation is the act of rendering yourself what new habits and routines will build the certainty of all that you seek and know and believe to be possible – for there are no measures without the certainty and willingness of personal transformation led by the joy of your desire for more." ~ dorothy zennuriye juno
When you think of personal best ~ are you remembering that it is your best and no one else’s ?
Are you remembering that personal best requires an elevation in your consciousness that is the true catalyst for all that you may achieve?
Because knowledge begins with the embracing of our power and potential to rise above everything we have every known. And as many of you know, change and transformation begin first in the mind and in the heart.
When you include the larger portrait of what deems wholeness, then personal best is the mindset you hold and how you shift your mindset when you feel less positive.
Personal best is the thoughts that become the beliefs you hold and how your thoughts and perceptions determine the kind of person you choose to be as well as how you feel about yourself and the consistent mood state that you deliberately live.
Something else about personal best that is very inspiring ~ you need to choose it. It is not enough to wait, to decide that the steps are too difficult or will take too much time. It is about holding belief in the desires that fuel your happiness and all that you seek ~ and in all areas of life.

The True Meaning of Self-Love
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 104
'The more I practice being love, the easier it is to love myself and to love others.'
~ dorothy zennuriye juno
💜
Self-love is the unconditional state of love that you offer to yourself ~ you hold the deliberate inspiration for all of life that leads you here and into the sacred wonder of your heart.
Self-love is how you express divine purpose and intention. It is how you live unstoppable in your belief of all of love that lives here and waiting for you.
Mantra of Self-Love:
‘All of the places of life that I seek to live and know myself best are also the means by which I live in the inspired consciousness of the divine.’
So much of the healing work that I do with clients is the journey of self-love. It is the sacred practices and rhythms that account for all of the ways in which we find peace within.
We feel loved and supported because of who we are and our dignity and we can call unto ourselves all of the ways in which love becomes the truest expression of our lives one moment and the next.
The love required of you is the love of your pure and powerful grace and dignity. It is the love of all miracles. It is the love that awaits you here and of this moment and to each moment thereafter.
The love of grace and wonder and life is the love of pure positive power and the miracles that you see and know forever.
The dignity of all love lives here with you.

'ask dorothy' | A Bliss Meditation
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 89
~ “To know the self is to know love.” ~
dorothy zennuriye juno
💜
timestamps: Podcast Intro ~ 0-2:22 | Bliss Meditations and an Introduction to this Meditation ~ 2:23 | Meditation begins ~ 5:19 | Closing words and Podcast Outro begins... ~ 30:40 |
This is also a low guidance which means that you will have space and silence between my directives in which to simply explore and experience and to allow it what impressions and ideas arise.
In this bliss meditation, I invite you to hold the impressions that you receive immediately and instinctively as the idea and intention is for you to connect with the highest source of wisdom that you hold within yourself ~ your highest self ~ your soul consciousness.
Bliss meditations are my signature 'feel the love, hold abundance, seek comfort and safety and presence and manifest all possibilities.' They are an exquisite experience of the divine and all sacred moments of the present.
It is best if you note the initial impressions that come to you from your spiritual self and hold these in your mind and heart, anchoring them to your knowledge and growing wisdom so that you may return to these often and as you meditate again with the image(s) that you receive here.
To know the self is beyond knowing the physical. We can almost never know every physical aspect that is occurring in synchronous harmony. We can know the purest aspects of what we are and then to deliberately hold our gratitude towards this.
I will also encourage you to make some notes after the meditation. To record what you see, feel, sense.
Enjoy this!
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

~ How can you live free of your thoughts?
Can you instead clearly express the voice and wisdom of your heart? ~
💜
How can we enjoy life to the fullest in each sacred moment – to have freedom of mind that is inspired from our consistent ability to choose our thoughts or to choose the absence of thinking?
In this episode I share three of the very best practices to enjoy the freedom of the present moment, to liberate yourself from the thoughts that cause you to suffer, and to find your joy. Join me!
Resources to Free Your Mind + Episode Highlights:
To hold inspiring thoughts (for example) is to say:
1) How can I be kind and gentle and loving to myself?
and
2) How can I hold a mantra that easily fires up the inspiration that I need to do what I want or need or desire?

YOUR MANIFESTING 'MOJO'
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 72
~ Live your life as if everything is here already and right before you. ~
💜
The episode is all about love...
It’s about what you need to experience with your heart ~ what is most wanted and what is already in store for you.
Any desire of the mind must activate your heart centre. If you truly want to hone the magic of manifesting ~ as mysterious as it is spiritual ~ you need to hold the grace of what is wanted in your heart.
Let it be here from your heart wisdom that you generate the ideas and inspiration that will easily celebrate all that you hold the potential to be and live.
This is an experiential episode of 'ask dorothy' in which I pose the question to you. Your answers become the inspired vision for what you will seek and live most deliberately.
The questions I ask in this episode:
You may wish to place one or both hands onto your heart centre as you connect inward ~ to your true source of power and wisdom.
What is next?
What is most important to me, for me?
What is my heart’s true desires?
What is my heart’s ultimate desires?
What is the next step of my journey?
What else?? 😁
I encourage you to write these questions 📝 and to ask these of yourself again ~ especially if you intend to continue to manifest all that you desire... as an ever-evolving outpouring of your heart's desires. 💜

Waiting to Exhale ~ PRANAYAMA | Part 2/2 | The WISDOM podcast | S3 E64

Waiting to Exhale ~ PRANAYAMA
'ask dorothy' | Q & A
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 64
~ Pranayama breathing guides us into the ease of pure existence. ~
💜
Do you ever catch yourself holding your breath? Perhaps in anticipation, in anxiety, in the realization that something is not going as you had hoped?
Maybe your hold your breath when you think about what magic lives in store for you and your future - like when you daydream and wish and manifest your heartfelt desires?
Pranayama is a Sanskrit word formed by two words. Prana means a subtle life-force / ‘vital energy’ / ‘breath of life’ which gives energy to the mind and body (it is also translated as the substance of the astral world) and ayama which signifies the voluntary effort to expand, lengthen and direct life-force or prana.
Pranayama, therefore, means “extension of life force.”
Waiting to exhale is the other side of waiting to enjoy life’s precious moments because you are focused in the end goal rather than the entire journey and what more you seek and learn from the total sum of your experiences.
The lessons are the magic. They are the ways in which life avails to us the importance of our path ~ of the miracles that continue ceaselessly all around us and in all moments and with our conviction.
What are you waiting for?
What are you wishing to change or have or be that seems far reaching and yet perfect for you to discover and experience now? The perfect basis of your beautiful nature lives inside of you. To seek and know it is the essence of life in its truest form.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 59
~ "Change is needed. Change is inevitable. Change is freedom.” - dorothy zennuriye juno ~
💜
What bold and daring decision have you made a reality?
Do you follow your heart regularly and do you follow it through to where it leads you?
Have you ever done something radically different and then fallen in love with it?
Have you ever felt an inner desire that you gave your attention to that spurred you towards action ~ whether it was to write a book, learn an instrument, build a garden, , move your life to a different geography, have a child, give up an addiction, or perhaps to fall in love with yourself and your life?
There are some of the many experiences of making decisions driven by an awakened voice within you and the conscious desire to evolve and transform ~ to live full on and unapologetically as your true self ~ even if at times, you may not know (just yet) where the path unfolding ~ will lead.
This episode is dedicated to each one of you as you begin the steps ~ a simple yet excitable idea that launches you towards sight unseen, what will become a future revelation of you ~ and at other times the giant and indeed scary leaps forward ~ towards the vision you have always held ~ your heart certain ~ all that you need to do is follow its urging towards something new and always in hopes of a brighter and more compelling life ~ that you are choosing.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

'ask dorothy' | Q & A
Self-Study IS Liberation
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 56
~ "gnōthi seauton" ~ Know Thyself ~
💜
In this episode of ‘ask dorothy’ I answer the question: What are the characteristics and traits of those who self-actualize and who live in liberation and the freedom to be all that they can and more?
If you are here and listening, this is for you.
We live in a society and a world in which we are taught to look outside of our self for answers, for authority, for validation, for friendship, for community; for the ideals that we are taught to strive for and the timeline for accomplishing what is deemed acceptable.
Nowhere is our heart more certain than when we have found another who loves and adores us.
The gaze is always external. Even when we are asked to know ourselves, we still compare what we see with what we perceive to be the inspired ideal.
Self-actualization can be misrepresented. We may have an idea and an image of what it means to experience a state of being in which we have arrived. We are here. We are complete.
Self-actualized people have an acceptance of who they are, including what I call ‘the ego mind’ ~ the human construct that at times pulls us in to the limited ways in which we think and act and which create our suffering.
When you are self-actualized you experience a drive to be creative in all aspects of your life. This is in fact how you thrive.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

TAPAS ~ Self-Discipline ~
The Niyamas Series: 3 of 5
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 53
~ "If we choose to walk into the fire, it is perhaps the greatest gift life could offer us." ~
💜
Welcome to the third episode in this series on the Niyamas. Niyama is a Sanskrit word that translates as “rules, guidelines, or observances.” Niyamas appear in Hindu and Buddhist texts, and they are best known as the second limb of the eight limbs of yoga, as described in Patanjali's Yoga Sutras.
These eight steps act as guidelines for how to live a meaningful and purposeful life. They serve as a prescription for moral and ethical conduct and principles; they direct attention toward one’s health; and they help us to acknowledge the spiritual aspects of our nature.
The Niyamas are an invitation into a radical exploration of possibility. Just how good can you feel? How joyful can your life be? Can you reveal just how amazing you are?
My hope in sharing each of the five niyamas – is to open you further to the spiritual life that you can live in the physical ~ and the absolute beauty and wonder that you may cultivate readily for yourself.
In this episode I cite and also quote directly from Deborah Adele’s book: The Yamas and Niyamas. Exploring Yoga’s Ethical Practice in addition to other sources that I will list in the description. They if you wish to continue your study.
Tapas - or self-discipline, austerity, perseverance, burning enthusiasm ~ describes a spirit of ‘fierce grace’.
In Tapas we employ physical and mental conditioning to push against the natural resistance our body and mind present. This resistance is what generates your inner fire.
The literal definition of tapas is “heat” – and in this case it is the heat that builds during periods of determined effort. Tapas accompanies any discipline that is willingly and gladly accepted in order to bring about a change of some kind—whether it be improved health, a new habit, better concentration, or a different direction in life.
Tapas is a process of burning through untruths, fears, discomfort, pain, and struggle ~ channelling the fire of that experience into self-disciplined actions that fuel your evolution.
Tapas focuses energy, creates fervour, and increases strength and confidence.
For example, the practice of asanas in yoga is a form of tapas for the body; meditation is a tapas that purifies and focuses the mind.
Tapas is the encouragement to tap into your inner fire as what you draw from ~ as discipline to transform yourself into something else.
I also invite to check out my 5-part series on the Yamas next. These are moral disciplines that transcend all world religions as guiding us to live of our light and our highest self. I will leave links for this series in the description.
Please consider how you can live with greater self-discipline. Allow your discipline to guide you into the fire of fierce grace. Leave a note for me here! Share with me the discipline that you invite into your life.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

Self-Discipline Is Your Superpower ’ask dorothy’ | The WISDOM podcast | S3 E38

Self-Discipline Is Your Superpower | A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 38
- Self-discipline is you acting on your greater conscience to do the right thing – for yourself and in any situation. -
💜
I think of self-discipline as a superpower because it is precisely what brings the inertia into the present moment for you to take action. It is what stops the chatter of the mind and overrides the old scripts that you replay with new language, the determination that says quite instinctively, “I can do this” and “I am doing this.”
Self-discipline could be exactly what you are missing and what keeps you from living your life in the way that you deeply desire.
So to ask yourself: ‘How self-disciplined am I?’ Be wholly honest with your answer. and ‘Where in my life do I need to be more self-disciplined and how?’ These make great journal prompts for you to better self-examine the areas of your life that need self-discipline.
Self-discipline is so important that it is the single identifying criteria as to whether you get things done and in a timely manner.
Self-discipline stops the procrastination effect and the relinquishing of responsibility and it is the solution if you’ve ever struggled with unproductive or self-sabotaging habits that limit your potential.
In this episode we take a deep dive into the mechanisms that you need to build self-discipline; including how to up level your self-discipline in a way that supercharges your decisions and the actions you take ~ to support you in all of the best practices that you will live.
And if you are a parent, this episode will be helpful as it reminds you of the importance of setting the right example because your children will see the incongruity between what you say and what you do. Your actions speak louder than your words. Your children will learn the habits that you hold including a lack of self-discipline.
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.
To help you up level your self-discipline, please let me help you live your truth.

Shedding The Inauthentic Self
An Experience Into Wholeness
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 37
~ The inauthentic parts of you are those parts that you are not happy with. ~
💜
Timestamps:
A Mantra: 0-1:56 | Podcast Theme Intro: 1:57 | The Inauthentic Parts Defined: 3:24 | How to Feel Whole and Complete: 5:41 | Reclaim All of Who You Truly Are ~ A Visualization Experience: 6:46 | Podcast Theme Outro: 23:14
This episode begins with a mantra to help you begin the energetic release of the aspects of you that you no longer wish to be ~ as you reclaim your wholeness with the behaviors, attitude, and beliefs that best represent your highest self.
Here we do some very cool shape-shifting towards living whole and of your authentic self.
It’s time to break free from what aspects of yourself are inauthentic ~ that is ~ what has never served you.
We learn so much from the external world that does not serve who we truly are and all that we desire to be.
What traits, behaviours, mindset is not wholly kind and loving is also not authentic.
As humans we all experience moments when we are living out of our dark side ~ the inauthentic part of our self, largely ingrained with the ego’s need to be right, to be in competition with or better than another – and the desire to find approval and importance when really you already have everything you need to be monumental in your life ~ and true to your highest good.
“Release what you will no longer be – the antithesis of something is something better.”
Shedding the inauthentic self is releasing what is not wanted. This is replaced with a return to embracing what you truly are at your core. The new behaviours, mindset, thoughts, and actions all contribute to feeling whole and complete ~ as you are.
In releasing the cycles of your past, you are free to live whole ~ and true to yourself ~ all that is built upon what you are ~ that is pure goodness, grace, kindness, love, inspired to create and to thrive, and the ability to appreciate all of life’s beautiful moments in the present.

Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...

Build A Positive Sense of Self:
8 Wildly Important ‘Best Practices' to Live By
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 18
“You can check in with all of those who love you; whose love is unconditional and unwavering but the true feeling of certainty is born out of the love that you liberate yourself unto.” - dorothy zennuriye juno
Your positive sense of self is the means by which you live - awakened to know and appreciate all of the aspects that define you; in the context of how you witness yourself in the world, self-honest and willing to live honorably – to do the right thing – because this is how you experience yourself as a being of love.
In psychology, sense of self refers to your conceptualization of the collection of characteristics that define you.
Personality traits, abilities and skills, your likes and dislikes, your belief system, your morals and values, what motivates you — how you view yourself in relationships and your perception of how others relate to and receive you. These all contribute to self-esteem and your unique identity as a person.
There are many natural and organic ways that each one of us develops our sense of self beginning with our early childhood. With the known research in neural plasticity, we have the ability to change our sense of self; to develop a more positive and certainly a healthier sense of who we are.
In this episode we discuss what it means to have a healthy and strong sense of self – one that exists because of the relationship you build and nurture with yourself. This is the most important relationship you will ever have. It begins the true awakening of what lies within – what you are beyond the physical and your mind.
Sense of self is achieved by developing the means by which you can be comfortable and content in your own company and to enjoy the companionship of yourself.
Sending you great 💜 love...
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!

The Snow Globe Effect: Transformation and Change | A Real Life Client Story
The WISDOM podcast Season 3 Episode 9
- A special episode for anyone who has faced the ending of a love relationship -
If you are listening because you have recently gone through a life change that was or was not decided by you; it can easily be overwhelming. It can cause you to question your life and what choices you have made and whether you need to rethink everything.
Change is being imposed upon us all of the time. Our lives become more abundant through the change sought through desire, growth, opportunity, new thoughts, and actions. Some change when we label it as: bad, unjust, wrong, only makes it more difficult to accept and navigate as a life experience that is causing us to break open; to think and feel and live beyond what we have - until now.
Therein is the snow globe effect - our world as we know it – shaken upside down for a time; not forever. Then as we watch in anticipation and wonder, we see the snow fall; filling all of the space inside the snow globe, delighting us in the magic of what we are witness to; creating a beautiful scene with nothing more than the simple action of movement; of changing the form of what already is -to reveal so much beauty.
In this episode I share the story of my clients Harold and Delia; and how heartfelt desire and self-honesty is necessary for the change that becomes our personal transformation. Join me!
Each Tuesday at 8pm EST, I take you on a journey - inside - what happens in a session of Life Coaching and Therapy in the 'ask dorothy' series as we answer the questions that honour your path and your life.

"Becoming A More Confident YOU" with Dorothy Ratusny
the Wisdom Podcast Season 1 Episode 6
TIMESTAMPS:
Podcast Intro: 0-2:12 | Free Bonus Curated Content to Download for this Episode! 2:13 | What Makes A Person Confident? 3:55 | The Definition of Confidence: 5:54 | The Three Most Effective Ways to Build Self-Confidence: 8:36 | The Rationale for These Three Best Practices 12:30 | Growing Your Confidence: 16:54 | BONUS Practice #1: 17:34 | BONUS Practice #2: 22:06
If you ever wanted to feel more self-confident and deserving of your successes and to own what I call your 'greatness', then this episode is going to be the strategy that you need. If you want to feel the confidence of knowing that your decisions are the right and best ones for you; and to have greater confidence in all that you do, then the 3 best practices that I am about to share, are going to make it easy for you build greater confidence and to live empowered because of what you think and believe about yourself.
In this episode we dive into what makes a person confident, and how you can grow your confidence to extreme levels by choice; because confidence grows with your affirmative words of yourself. Changing the inner landscape of your thoughts to empower rather than diminish your abilities, grows confidence exponentially. Your inner dialogue then becomes the sacred and empowering messaging that you live by.
In other words, you are more careful about what you tell yourself and believe because you experience directly the effects of your words felt throughout your being. This enables you to follow a path that is inspiring; and true to who you are. As you develop a daily practice using these 3 strategies, you begin to feel encouraged by your words and as you take the steps towards completing what is most meaningful to you; and which nourishes your inner being. These three practices are incredibly simple, your results are directly correlated to making them a daily habit; as you re-train your mind unto what is true and what you will believe of yourself to be possible.
Confidence is a person's belief that a chosen course of action is the right choice and that they can properly perform that action. As a personality trait, confidence is sometimes referred to as self-confidence. This term describes the attitudes and beliefs people hold regarding their abilities and strengths. *Source: goodtherapy.org
How do you define confidence? What does it mean to you?
To become more of something, you must first know what more will be. What are the ways in which you want to be more confident?
So at some point during or at the end of this podcast, I'd love for you to make a few notes; deciding the ways in which you wish to be more confident. Then, use the strategies here in these best practices to help mobilize yourself towards building a more confident you as a personality trait and as belief in your ability to make the right choices for yourself and to be successful in your actions.
For example, maybe you want to be more confident in your interactions with others and how you speak and carry a conversation. Or perhaps you want to be more confident in the way that you parent, or in how you are at work with co-workers and your boss. Perhaps you want to be better at owning your successes and feeling greater confidence in your decision making along a path that will be right and best for you. When you identify the areas in which you want to have more confidence, then you can begin towards this taking the specific action steps that you need to accomplish this.
Many people want to have greater self-confidence but they haven't clearly defined the areas in which they want this.
To build confidence, use these 3 simple and yet overlooked successful practices:
1. The first practice of self-confidence is the importance of mindfulness of what you say to yourself at all times. What you tell yourself, you believe. Be far more attentive and discerning to your inner dialogue. This may be shocking at times when you realize what you have been telling yourself that causes self-doubt, insecurity, and fear. 2. Choose deliberately the words that you speak both inwardly and aloud (and what images you hold in your mind). Begin to define the beliefs that you want to hold regardless of whether you believe in them fully yet. Confidence grows with encouragement and kindness. You must be willing to see your goodness, and to acknowledge what makes you uniquely different, special, and talented. (Sometimes this may be precisely what we have been teased or judged harshly for). How you are different from others is often a strength. You can best develop your strengths and confidence by curating a list that highlights the ways in which you are capable; what you see as your positive traits and abilities; and how you are resilient. Remind yourself of this using phrases and keywords that you repeat often. For example, "I am innately wise." "I am a talented _________ (and fill in the blank here) (e.g. writer/musician/performer/artist/speaker)." "I am defining my success and living it fully." "I have an important purpose in the world that I am living now." Your written list and how you remind yourself of your talents and abilities is how you re-train your mind to hold belief in yourself and to grow your confidence and worth. *'I AM' and 'I HAVE' statements reflect manifesting this in the here and now. They bring all of what you want into the present moment for you to witness each time that you reinforce this with your words spoken quietly and aloud. It goes without saying that you must have fun with this process. Your positive feelings of yourself will grow your confidence. 3. The third practice of self-confidence is this: confidence grows when you take action; when you challenge yourself in new situations, and as you learn and improve. Your encouraging words spoken inward and aloud remind you of your strengths and positive traits is how you feel encouraged to try new things, to better yourself further and to take more positive action which in turn builds confidence and competency. When you challenge yourself to grow and become better through positive action, you grow confidence and belief in yourself.
These 3 practices also require your ongoing effort as you are teaching yourself how to think differently from what has likely been a well ingrained habit of critical and negative self-talk over a lengthy period of time. It will be helpful if you can enjoy as you grow belief in yourself and as you nurture esteem and worth.
You grow confidence each time you acknowledge your greatness. Acknowledging your greatness is reminding yourself - remembering - how incredible you are. We all have unique gifts and talents that simply need our attention, and our willingness to use these to become even more skilled at them. This is an important part of what we are here to do in this life; to enjoy the journey of expressing and using our innate talents and gifts in a way in which we enjoy and feel inspired by. This is what is meant by finding and living your life's purpose. To remind yourself of all that you are good at and enjoy is helpful to mobilize you towards this and to live it. You grow self-confidence each time that you recognize your innate talents and abilities and what effort you have made in becoming better at this.
You must make it a regular practice to acknowledge the positive aspects of yourself. This is how you feel encouraged and supported in who you already are.
There are no hidden secrets to growing confidence; just the mindful and regular attention that you give to what you tell yourself and what you are willing to believe. Remember that the words you speak inside your mind are going to determine how you feel and what choices you will make; including any inaction that comes from your lack of belief in yourself. Kind words and encouragement that become your daily mantra will result in positive feelings and behaviours; and the belief in your ability and worth. This encourages you to continue taking positive steps towards all that you desire; to believe endlessly in your potential and the having of what you want, and to never give up.
In addition to this list of 3 best practices, here are a few additional strategies and tips for increasing your positive feelings of yourself and becoming more confident.
- Similar to thinking about what you are grateful of, which helps immensely to change your mood state, to boost your positive feelings and to feel encouraged; write and keep an ongoing list of what allows you to feel good (and even great) about yourself. This is a powerful way to grow self confidence quickly. This is something that you can do daily; that you can practice deliberately to feel encouraged, and in moments when you need to be reminded of your immense ability for accomplishing all that you deem to be most important and set your mind to.
- Seek to know yourself and to live your truth. This means paying attention to what is right for you; of practising moving in the direction of what makes you happiest. This is using happiness and joy as your inner GPS that guides you in your life towards these ideals and goals that are what inspires you. This is important since the more you develop your knowledge of who you are; the more confident you are in exuding your presence, your self-knowledge and in your accurate decision making. Begin to speak aloud your truth (practice being wholly honest with yourself and others) about what you think and believe in and what is right and best for you. As you practice voicing your truth it will reinforce that you know yourself best and it will help you to be accountable to what is right for you. We all deserve and can have a high level of confidence - confidence is not ego - but rather it is the positive feelings that come with believing in your self and your abilities. Being self-encouraging and kind will empower you to try new experiences, and to make changes of yourself and how you approach and live life that will support and grow your confidence. This happens as you acknowledge and remind yourself of your value, your worthiness and that you are more than capable of whatever you choose to do.
Self esteem and self confidence transcend every thought, every action, and all of how you feel. If you would like my help to build and redefine your confidence, please reach out to me. Your confidence is so valuable for what you believe is possible for yourself and your life.
As a challenge, if you would like more practice in being a more confident version of yourself, you can make a pact to become the very best version of who you are. Set out to change one thing about yourself that you have been wanting to improve. Let yourself gather what information you need to make this change. Seek out what professional help, books, courses, and any other support that will allow you to be successful at this. The happier you are with who you are, and how you are choosing to be, the more your confidence grows. Choose something to change that you feel inspired by. As you begin to make changes to one aspect of your life, you will likely notice other desired changes being easier to make.
When we recognize aspects of our personality, our behaviours, or our thoughts and beliefs that are no longer serving us, and if we do not take the steps towards changing this, then we will continue to feel less confident in these areas. Make an effort to change even if the change you want takes time; doing so will be so rewarding and it will boost your confidence in your ability to make other changes. Make it a priority to become the very best version of you; and to begin this now.
As a special offering of love and something that will also help immensely each time you experience it, enjoy the guided visualization 'I AM' that I've curated specifically for becoming more confident and for believing in yourself. It will help you visualize how you want to be - now, and to live as this even whilst you are manifesting and growing your confidence.
Sharing the wisdom and beauty of divine love with you...
Namaste!
