The Importance of Self-Care - a few words by Farzana Khan, FWL presenter for Cultivating Confidence Workshop on Nov 17
Posted by Lauren Travis on Fri, Nov 06, 2009
2010 is just around the corner. Have you begun setting your
intentions? A common goal for all of us is to live a little larger — personally
and professionally. How do we do
this? How do we expand our experience of life to be just a little more kick-ass
and enjoyable, in every department? Quite often, we think it is external stuff
and circumstances that need to be changed, tweaked or adjusted to improve our
levels of success and happiness. But the truth is, your true happiness in life
is all contingent on your own state of self-perception, self-esteem and
confidence. You can only achieve and receive that which you believe is
possible. Confident people love and believe in themselves, and so naturally expect and achieve it.
Believing in and 
loving yourself makes all the difference in
the world. You have to have confidence, self-love and high self-esteem to
achieve your dreams. You cannot receive success and abundance if you do not
believe it is possible for little ol’ you. You have to believe you deserve and are worthy of every
righteous desire of your heart. Everything and anything is possible for those
who believe in themselves!
How do you increase and improve your confidence,
self-esteem and self-love? Read the article The Importance of Self-Care and then attend Farzana Khan’s
seminar for Future Women Leaders on Cultivating Confidence and Self-Esteem, on
November 17th.
Excercpt from article The Importance of Self-Care:
So, I’ve been doing this life coaching thing for quite some time
now. What I’ve found to be very interesting with many of my clients,
who are stuck in a place of lack, pain and suffering, is that they are
totally lovely, kind, huggable and compassionate people. The problem,
most of the time, is that these wonderful folks give and give, but
never to themselves. They are kind and generous to everyone else, but
not to themselves. This is a very tricky situation. Because, until they
fully love and take care of themselves, what they put out is kinda
tainted. Like tainted meat, for example. It looks and tastes delicious.
But then later, the receiver gets food poisoning. Why? The meat was
tainted, poisoned. Why, how? Because the giver, on the inside, is
totally negative, poisoned. You cannot be poisonous/negative to
yourself and then expect the energy you put out to the Universe and to
others not to be infected – it’s the same stream of energy.
What am I getting at, you ask?
