Empowerment: The Story For Your Life Can Be Updated

Fess up.
If you’re reading this blog you may be a shopping addict. There’s a world of difference between someone who shops for necessities (even luxuries) or social enjoyment and the person who shops to deaden emotional pain. Which one are you?
Like a drug addict you use shopping to get you high, make you feel better about your self or circumstance if you:
- Go on buying binges when you are upset, depressed, lonely, stressed or antsy.- Kill time on eBay or other shopping websites.- Think that if you just buy that little black Prada dress or expensive watch THEN you’ll be or look like who you want to be- Get an emotional charge with each purchase – and then feel guilty later on- Are spending beyond your means- Haven’t even used some of the stuff you bought- Hide your purchases from family and friends
There isn’t a Chloe purse in the world that can make you find value, purpose and meaning in your life. Stuff simply cannot fill an inner void. Compulsive shopping is a vicious cycle of quick highs and chronic lows. The more you shop the worse you end up feeling about yourself and your choices. In order to feel better you head to the mall! And the cycle goes round and round in a never ending gerbil treadmill that will destroy you.
The self-destructive behavior of a shopping addict costs more than a bank account. It bankrupts the human spirit.
If you identified with any of the behaviors listed above chances are you are depleted and trapped in what I call a Gilded Cage. Everything looks great from the outside but inside you are crumbling. It is time to get reconnected with who you really are and what you really want! Moxie Up! The road to your greatness is not paved with bling. It is founded in your confident courageous authentic expression. When you show up in life comfortable in your own skin in alignment with your truth that empty hole inside will be filled to the brim with love, abundance and opportunities.
Perhaps Bob Dylan said it best, “When you feel in your gut who you are and dynamically pursue it – don’t back down and don’t give up – you’re going to mystify a lot of folks.” You are here to mystify a lot of folks. Get the shopping monkey off your back and realign with your authentic greatness.

Actually, it is literal in many ways. Science is helping substantiate many areas that only a few short years ago were looked upon with fear and suspicion by many as woo-woo ornew age both of which were vague andout there sort of terms.

Many of the processes that I first started becoming aware of ten years ago I tried based on faith and my inner Guidance. I did not have the kind of inner peace that I knew was possible, even though outwardly, my life appeared successful by most standards. I am actually a very grounded practical person in many ways. I am also very much the visionary risk taker as well.

As I tried new modalities, I began to change. It was scary at first, but now I am certain that once you can learn to trust yourself, expand your sense of connection to the Divine and let go of the need to control everything and everybody, your life can expand and grow beyond what you could have even imagined possible!

Your responsibility is to first believe it is possible and find the courage to take the next step. The HOW is none of your business, it is not your job, it is the Universe’s/God’s responsibility. The journey to true empowerment requires that you call on inner Spiritual resources, whatever that means to you, heal your mind and emotions and learn to feel your body again and take good care of it! This requires self-acceptance which is actually not something that most people experience in their lives. This is also one reason whyThe Secret (the popular movie) does not work for many people.

One of the biggest reasons change is so difficult is that we have created stories, mostly in early childhood, about who we are and what we are capable of and most of the story is very self-limiting and a put down of our magnificence. This occurs via our logical left-brain which is whereego is formed. There is a part of your brain that createsautobiographical memory- in other words the story of who you think you are.

This becomes our personal identity, which is literally a story! This is not woo-woo, but science is finally connecting this dot. We are unconsciously taught to think small of ourselves and others, to expect the worse, and to feel shame and guilt in our relationship to God. It is very important to realize that the story you write and come to believe is literally carried in your body and becomes your experience. Your biography becomes your biology. Literally!

If your story creates health, abundance and inner peace and you are happy then you are all set. If it does not and you want to change, why not start now? If not now, when? Learning how to release the old energy blockages from negative thinking and re-wiring your brain with information that expands your life instead of constricts you is very possible. That is, if you are ready and if you are willing to experience a new story for your life! Are you ready? What’s your story?
