3 Ways to Rock Your Own Star
By Carol Starr Taylor
Do you want to get in the “glow zone” and shine your own light? It is time to step into your own power and rock your own star. In an age of instant gratification, we get frustrated when we get stuck or things don't go the way we planned. Whatever you are experiencing right now "BE PATIENT. BE KIND" to yourself. BELIEVE that things work out and finally LOVE YOURSELF enough to KNOW that you CAN and WILL handle the challenges in your path.
1. LEAVE YOUR PAST BEHIND YOU
Most of us focus over all the could haves, should haves. This often leaves us stuck. We can't seem to move passed the past. Instead of blaming your past obstacles and relationships with others, look introspectively at the lessons that have come from your experiences rather than the actual experiences themselves. We often concentrate on what was done. One thing to consider here. That was YOU then. Not the YOU of now. Your experiences help shape you into the magnificent person you have become. Embrace that you had those experiences and use those nuggets of positivity that rose from that and forge ahead. Leave behind the negativity and your attachment to it.
2. SAY NO TO OTHERS AND YES TO YOURSELF
As an ex-people pleaser myself, I have had to understand that "NO" is a complete sentence. Do you find that you are saying YES when you really want to say NO? We feel pressure. Stressed. Anxious. Pulled in so many directions. Possibly, anger or resentment sets in. Obligation to do what you think is the right thing. STOP BEING NICE! Nice is fear driven. You want people to think your nice so you say yes. Afraid that others will think the opposite of you..
By Carol Starr Taylor
The NICE person, the always YES person bends over backwards to people please. You crave that validation from others so much that you push your own desires aside to please others. You know what? YOU RELINQUISH YOUR POWER. BE KIND instead. Kindness is heart based not fear based. Kind has power. Kind is assertive. You have retained your power and your control. When you are saying YES out of kindness, it comes from compassion and empathy. Boundaries are important for your self-love and self-care. You can still say NO without any guilt.
3. BELIEF
Whatever you believe, becomes reality. That is the law of attraction. It is your BELIEF that determines everything. Positive self-talk is a powerful way to shift your limiting beliefs because how we speak to ourselves matters. Your inner dialogue becomes the energy you attract. Some powerful ways you can unleash your best self is to feed yourself inspiration every single day by repeating affirmations, listen to podcasts and journal.
Affirmations, I find are pivotal. Repeat constantly until you believe them to be true for yourself. They become your mantra. Your inner rockstar has always been there. You just have to tap into HER.
YOU ARE A SHINING UNIQUE AND BEAUTIFUL STAR. NOW IS THE TIME TO ROCK IT.
