Women's Empowerment tips: What to do when fear tries to overtake you!

Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble,
whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely,
whatever is admirable--if anything is excellent or
praiseworthy--think about such things. Philippians 4:8

Many times we don’t want to admit that we have any fears.
There a lot of things that we can be fearful of over the
course of our lives. If you told me years ago that I would
be a public speaker I would have answered who me….. that is
because I was bashful and thought I didn’t have a good speaking
voice and this hindered me from moving forth, how many of you
know that when you want anything bad enough you’ll move forward
to manifest that desire. I moved in the face of fear, sought
out mentors and a coach, dug deep into my faith and embraced
the process. Opportunities opened up to me.

Faith is the opposite fear and doubt and fear are cousins.
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising
up every time we fail. ~Ralph Waldo Emerson

People everywhere are beginning to live in a state of fear.
There is good fear and bad fear. Fear was also designed to warn
us and protect us from certain things, however, for the most part
people become in bondage to the negative fear.

Have you ever been hindered by a fear of success
(or a fear of failure)?
Have you ever received news that seemed to immobilize you
with fear?

Many people face this common problem daily.
Fear tried to overtake me when I learned that our daughter
was in the hospital on life support And even more so when we
learned that we almost lost her and a few days later we almost
Lost her again. Our experience has taught us some things about
dealing with crisis and this was another crisis. Our daughters
live in Seattle, WA and this was our oldest daughters. So imagine
hearing all of this and you’re hundreds of miles away.

We put in a call to our Father about our going up there and moved
forward to make that happened. When we arrived my heart went out.
Let me back up a little. Before that as we journeyed toward Seattle,
the enemy began working on our emotions, tears flowed and he tried
to present anxiety, we immediately started confessing the word of
God, praising Him for His intervention, speaking life.

When we arrived I saw our daughter and I said a quiet simple prayer
“Father God it would be nice to see our daughter off life support
before we return home.” I left it right there. How many of you know
that sometimes it’s those simple quiet prayers that seem to get
immediate response?

Our daughter’s numbers on the machine were 56 when we first arrived,
the next day 50 and the following 40 I came in that Tuesday morning
and saw that the number had gone up to 50 I said oh Lord that number
needs to go down and I heard “don’t worry about that number” and I
said to my husband we won’t worry about that number as if he was
really worried about it anyway. Next the nurse came in and said
did you hear the good news? We’re going to try to remove the tube today."
My heart leaped and I remembered the simple quiet prayer. Praise God
she was taken off life support and a few days later was moved out of
ICU.

How did we remain focused and faith-full in the midst of this crisis
and others? One significant thing we had to do was Focus. We can be
immobilized by a lack of focus. Most times it’s because we don’t
have a burning desire, aren’t clear on our vision and surround
ourselves with negativity and more.

We focused on Faith. We could have focused on the negatives, however,
we pushed ourself to focus on faith not fear, not the circumstances
but FAITH!! There’s a quote that goes like this
“What you focus on expands!” I’m not sure of the author.

What are you focusing on? If it’s negative it’s fueling fear in your life.
Are you focusing on lack, focusing on fear, focusing on the hurts and
pains of your life? Develop positive focus. One verse in the bible that
is good to remember is in Philippians 4:8. You can view the verse at
the beginning of this article.

How many dreams have been delayed? How many risks have you stepped
back from taking as a result of fear. Fear is not something you want
to ignore as it can take away your quality of life and literally
control everything you do. In essence you’re imprisoned by fear.

We've had other opportunities to be overtaken by fear, however, our
focus is on Faith and not the negative. Our focus is on the majestic
POWER of our Father God. Develop a positive focus. Focus on the positive
outcome you want to realize. Focus on the manifestation of your goals.

I invite you to escape the pain and prison of fear. Do not be overcome with fear. Develop a positive focus. As I mentioned before one way to do this is to focus on Faith!!

Savvy woman and woman entrepreneur empowerment: One simple thing to help you overcome overwhelm

When is the last time you took a close look at your daily routines?

Is there a reason for why you do things the way you do? Or do you
simply continue to operate on auto pilot?

Our daily routines can be a good thing when part of
an effective system, however, it can become a negative when
we get stuck in a rut. Doing things just because.

Try this one simple thing to combat overwhelm. Change your
routines. If you get up everyday at 6:00 am and find that you just
don't have enough time in the day to accomplish what it is you
desire, get up an hour or even half an hour earlier. Not only will
this give you at least 2 1/2 hours more per week,it will also change the
mundane routine and will also take you out of auto pilot.

What else have you done for the last 5 - 10 years without any
apparent reason for why you do it? Take inventory and find new
effective ways to enhance your productivity.

Did you know that stress contributes to over 90% of chronic diseases?
Overwhelm can definitely be factored in when talking about stress,
another reason to learn life skills and systems to combat overwhelm.

If you'd like to discover additional keys and receive additional support
in overcoming overwhelm and other disempowering challenges secure your
seat on my FREE preview Teleseminar series "Breakthrough 2010! Live Big,
Bold and Beautiful!!"

Why you must break free from fear now for women's empowerment!

You block your dream when you allow your fear to grow bigger
than your faith. ~Mary Manin Morrissey

One thing I see over and over is the evidence of fear in
women's lives. These are the same women who so want to
embrace the idea of women's empowerment. It is possible
to break free, however, as I say empowerment is a choice and
so is breaking free from fear.

What is fear?
Fear is an emotional response to a perceived threat.
It is a basic survival mechanism occurring in response
to a specific stimulus, such as pain or the threat of danger.
Some psychologists such as John B. Watson, Robert Plutchik, and
Paul Ekman have suggested that fear is one of a small set of basic
or innate emotions. This set also includes such emotions as joy,
sadness, and anger. Fear should be distinguished from the related
emotional state of anxiety, which typically occurs without any
external threat. Additionally, fear is related to the specific
behaviors of escape and avoidance, whereas anxiety is the result
of threats which are perceived to be uncontrollable or unavoidable.
From wikipedia

Although there is good fear which for instance is a response
given when we sense danger I am talking about the negative aspect of fear.

Here are three reasons that you must break free from fear now!

Fear is a Dream Killer
Like procrastination, fear is a thief of time and I know all to well
about this one. There are many opportunities that have been lost
because of fear. I'm sure you can think of some missed opportunities
of your own. This will continue to happen unless you break free.
The life of your dreams is at stake. You must break free now!

Fear is a toxin
Our subconscious mind receives messages from our thoughts and actions
and it doesn't know whether it's a temporary or insincere thought.
No, our subconscious mind gets to work on whatever we send its way.
So in essence fear is a toxin to the subconscious mind.

Fear is not a part of God's plan and is not from God
In the bible we read that God has not given us a spirit of
fear but He's given us power, love and a sound mind. So if
God didn't give it to us then we shouldn't have it and it
hinders the flow of blessing on our lives.

Your goal should never be to focus on totally being free from fear,
that would be unbalanced, however, you should learn keys and the
necessary mindset shifts needed to empower you to live a life free
from the bondage of fear.

What will you do if you never break free? You don't have to wait
any longer. Join me for a free call Secrets to Breaking free from
fear, overwhelm, procrastination and low self esteem.

It happens Friday, January 15 at 11:00 AM PST, 1:00 PM CST,

One defintion of insanity is to do the same thing over and over
again expecting different results. Stop the insanity! Do something
positively different. Finally break free from fear.
