What are you hiding?
The mask.........some will admit to the daily ritual of preparing to go before your peers,co-workers, employees, church family, friends, classmates ending with the last step ....the mask. We can't allow anyone to know about our
flaws.
Mask - Covering for all or part of the face as a disguise or for protection
After 29 years of marriage, 4 children (of which 3 were teenagers at the same time) I can tell you there is no joy, peace or fulfillment in wearing and hiding behind a mask. It may start out as the perfect remedy to cover our feelings of inadequacies or reward us with temporary friendships and fool some of the people some of the time. However, it doesn't last and it is not rewarding. I repeat it is not rewarding.
A few side effects are: stress, broken relationships, regret, bitterness,lack of confidence, continued low self esteem and anger.
Most of all it is a barrier, it stops God from having the opportunity to heal our feelings of inadequacy, rejection,intimidation, inferiority, abandonment, loneliness etc. You see, Father God wants to touch you right where it hurts the most. Our job is to acknowledge these areas and bring them to him.
The other barrier is that it stops relationships that God wants to bring into our lives (true, genuine relationships). Friends who will be there regardless; Friends who accept the good and the bad and who realize like you they are not perfect and will provide grace and build you up.
Where is the mask at home, before our husbands, our children, parents, immediate family? We wear a mask at these times however, I have found through my personal experiences, counseling and coaching others that we are selective about wearing a mask in these instances.
"You don't really know a person until you have observed his behavior with a child, a flat tire, when the boss is away, and when he thinks no one will ever know." Author unknown
Well that is true the above determines an individuals character...who you are when no-one's looking.
Father God knows who you are and he still loves you. He wants so much to help you.... if you will just let him. It's time for us to lift each other.... it's time to help each other, comfort each other with the comfort we've been comforted with. How can we unless we take off the mask and let Father God work?
Why do we do this? Is there an issue with low self esteem? Are we afraid to allow
people to get close and see the real person?
If you want to live your best empowered life it is necessary to discover your
authentic self and celebrate the authentic you. Maybe you've lost years to
living pretentiously, some of you may not even know yourself because you've
worn this mask for so long. Besides it also fuels disempowering behaviors.
It's time. Finally realize a life of empowerment, purpose, passion and prosperity.
Ladies, it's ok ..... take off the mask. Be free and celebrate the authentic
you, embrace the uniqueness of you. Arise savvy woman, woman entrepreneur,
WAHM and shine!
You are a woman by God's design. He wants to present you (his workmanship) to the world for His glory. Remember God in you = Empowerment

Who are you? The Woman Entrepreneur and personal branding
Who are you? Do your clients, customers recognize who you are? Would prospects recognize who you are and become immediately attracted to you? Or would they
turn away because there's nothing for them to identify with.
If you answered no or I don't know to the above it's time that you learned
more about personal branding.
Think about Johnson and Johnson, Pepsi,Joyce Meyer, Kelloggs they are all branded and all you have to do is say the word and people know exactly what you are talking about. Some more than others, however, there is branding involved.
So you may be asking how do I begin building my personal brand?
Personal branding is the process whereby people and their careers are
marked as brands. It has been noted that while previous self-help
management techniques were about self-improvement, the personal branding
concept suggests instead that success comes from self packaging. The term
is thought to have been first used and discussed in an 1997 article
by Tom Peters,
Your brand is how people think about you. Learning more about you,
self discovery and assessment is key in beginning the process of
personal branding. This process also involves developing your vision,
what makes you unique and how you can help others.
Your vision is like a compass a guiding light. It helps us to stay focused
on our goals and plans in life.
When taking on the endeavor to build your brand keep the following in mind....
It's important to consider how you communicate visually, verbally and
in writing. If you don't know you're actually branding yourself in your
blogging.
You also make it easier to develop your marketing plan when you build your
personal brand.
What makes you different or unique?
How would you say people describe you or better yet how do you describe yourself?
Do you know who your target market or audience is?
Some may consider this your niche. So very important and no it doesn't
cut off your reach in essence it expands it because instead of grasping for straws
you know where to put your focus.
It's also key to discover your why. Why do you do what you do?
What motivates you?
What sets you apart?
Do you have a creative angle to what you do?
If you want to accelerate the process towards your empowering success
it's important to start developing your personal brand.
Who are you? Start taking notes and write down your values, what you'd
like to do in life, how you'd like to be seen, what sets you apart and then
use some of this to develop your vision statement and
you'll be on your way to a definite brand of YOU inc.

Women's Empowerment tips: Positive thinking extends life!
I have been a believer of the power of positive thinking and living.
No we cannot just participate in positive thinking and believe that
is the solution and everything will manifest magically, however, this
coupled with other life skill sets will greatly enhace the results you
receive from any endeavor to live your best empowered life, an
extraordinary life.
I'm sharing an article that provides proof of the power of
positive thinking.
Scientists have come up with proof of the power of positive thinking.
They have found people who have a sunny, optimistic outlook on growing older live longer than those who are constantly worrying.
Positive self-perceptions can prolong life expectancy
Yale University researchers
The research suggests that people who feel bad about getting old accelerate the ageing process.
In contrast a positive attitude will add more years to your life than not smoking or taking regular exercise.
A team of American psychologists found that people who were positive about ageing lived an average of 7.5 years longer than those who regretted the passing years.
They believe that negative thoughts about the ageing process have a direct impact on the will to live.
Better than low blood pressure
The researchers, led by Dr Becca Levy, from Yale University, in Connecticut, said the effect of a positive attitude towards ageing was greater than physiological measures such as low blood pressure and cholesterol - each of which is thought to add a maximum of four years to life.
The effect was even more pronounced than factors such as keeping weight down, not smoking and taking exercise - each thought to add between one and three years to life.
The researchers studied information from 660 volunteers aged fifty plus.
Death rates among the participants were compared with their responses to a survey conducted 23 years earlier.
The volunteers were asked if they agreed or disagreed to statements such as "as you get older, you are less useful".
Dr Levy's team believe the sheer will to live partly explains the link between positive thinking and longevity. However, they don't think it is the only reason.
Stress
They believe another factor is the effect of stress on the heart.
Previous research has shown that the hearts and arteries of elderly people exposed to negative ageing stereotypes do not respond well to stress.
People could have negative thoughts about aging picked up from society without even being aware of them, said the researchers.
"Our study carries two messages," they wrote.
"The discouraging one is that negative self-perceptions can diminish life expectancy.
"The encouraging one is that positive self-perceptions can prolong life expectancy."
The researchers warn that a poor attitude towards the elderly in Western societies may exacerbate the problems. It is time to stop knocking the old, they say, and make them feel good.
The research is published in the Journal of Personality and Social Psychology.

What are you going do about it?
(c) 2002 Robin Tramble
"Three choices a person has concerning things
that bother him/her.
1. Deal with it.
2. Get over it.
3. Learn to live with it."
__ Jack Murray
You want success. You want financial security, good health,
healthy relationships, a stronger faith, to be able to say no
without feeling guilty. Yes, we want so many things and our
inability to accomplish the above leaves us feeling overwhelmed
and just frustrated. This adds to our stress level. The bottom
line here is all things considered does it boil down to the three
things as Jack Murray suggests above?
If you're like me you have vowed to be more proactive about
making change in your health and it begins with you.
One of the major causes of death in America are Heart attacks.
We must change our habits. Your daily habits are contributing
factors to your success or failure in any area of life.
Future Youth talks about this in the following paragraph --
Eliminating hurtful habits You've finished your
Mediterranean-style mackerel and plan to relax with a glass of chianti and a good smoke-- maybe you'd better revise your plan. Heavy drinking (more than
two beers, two one-ounce shots of whiskey, etc., a day) and smoking go
hand in hand with high blood pressure and being overweight.
Separately or combined, these health risks increase the likelihood of developing heart disease."
Future Youth, by the editors of Preventionâ magazine health books.
1987 Rodale press
Is there something bothering you? Something you don't like or are
tired of ?
Deal with
What can you do to take an active approach to improve upon your situation?
Will it require additional resources,training,coaching etc. ?
Get over it
If it’s not a major you may just have to get over it. Many times we spend
our lives majoring on the minors. Categorize the problem and if you find
that it’s a minor you may just have to get over it and move on.
Learn to live with it
Is this something you can learn to live with? Only you know if you are discounting yourself by choosing this option, however, it is one to look at.
If choosing one of the other two causes added stress or creates negatives more than just simply learning to live with it then this may be your choice for a period.
For instance you may find that while adjusting to your child’s lack of responsibility by implementing learned skills to assist him in improving that you need to learn your own skills to live with it where it doesn’t drain your energies or break the peace. This is not one of my favorites, however, it is an option and can be a positive depending on how you use it. In this example instead of passively acting out one of the three by default you are actively choosing one of the three.
You can deal with it, get over it or learn to live with it. Just remember whatever you choose you must take responsibility for your choice. Whatever you do don’t just sit there and watch it happen, take action. Even the simplest action may be to answer this question “What are you going to do about it?”
