How to Free Yourself from Body Image Issues
Have you ever wondered why you may continue to have body image issues, in spite of consciously knowing that you need to love yourself?
Body image is how you see yourself when you look in the mirror or when you picture yourself in your mind. It is what you think and feel about your physical body. Many of us internalize messages during our childhood. These messages can lead to either positive or negative body image. Having a healthy body image is an important part for practising self-love.
While most of us do not suffer from eating disorders caused by poor body image issues, we have the tendency to be overly critical in how we look. Chances are, if you are like the vast majority, you’d find yourself constantly thinking “I am flawed” or I don’t look good enough”. Thoughts like these can have a negative impact on self-confidence and your ability to shine!
There was a day when I was rudely awakened to why it could be so challenging for women to stop beating themselves up over their appearance. It happened when I was reading an article about Lady Gaga who encouraged thousands to embrace their bodies after hitting back at critics who called her fat. The article was in the pull-out Friday segment of our main newspaper. The writer then went on to rounding up 5 celebrity women who were proud of their curves.
How to Create Aura Protection with Essential Oils
One excellent way of creating aura protection is with the use of essential oils.
If you are naturally energy sensitive or are an empath, I suggest that you create aura protection. Creating aura protection ensures that you do not pick up negative energies from others. You can create aura protection very easily with applying energy shields using essential oils.
As someone who facilitates transformation work for others, I find it necessary to apply aura protection. Aura protection helps me to create a personal boundary. It allows me to practice empathy without getting easily attached to any client’s issues.
Essential oils are vibrational tools. They are nature’s living energy. They have the ability to help us restore our energy system. Plants use essential oils to protect themselves against harsh environmental conditions as well as invaders.When we use essential oils, we are leveraging on their protective and restorative attributes.
Essential oils are extracts from various parts of the plants. They are obtained through steam distillation. As not essential oils are the same, only use pure-grade ones that have high energy vibrations for aura protection.
7 Daily Morning Affirmations for Abundance
What would you say to making morning affirmations for abundance?
Some people may find the advice of making daily morning affirmations to start the day simplistic and may erroneously think that it is not valuable. They would rather set it aside.
What is more, if you are already not having enough sleep, making morning affirmations could be the last thing you are thinking of. Just recall how you have been dragging yourself out of bed at the sound of the alarm. Your engine has barely started to crank up. You are hardly feeling the surge in energy that is required for making affirmations.
However, I’d like to ask you if you have noticed how there is a follow-on effect when you are feeling happy? Begin your morning right and you set the tone for what it is to follow. You are in a state that leverages on the law of attraction positively, thereby attracting positive outcomes throughout the day.

7 Tips to Overcome Perfectionism
Were you taught to believe that striving for perfection is a worthy goal since young? Perhaps, from the time when you were a child, you learnt that perfect scores are ideal. If you did not, you would be penalised even if it was just one mistake out of every ten correct ones. And so, you have been conditioned to believe that you need to be perfect – that is, without a flaw, failure or weakness.
What you crave for is approval, in the strive for perfection. The shadow side is the fear of rejection that you hold. You fear being ridiculed and not accepted for who you are if you are perceived as less than perfect.
Note that there is nothing wrong with wanting to produce your best work or hoping to present yourself in a good light. However, having a perfectionistic streak can have negative consequences. You are in the energy of “striving”, in seeking to meet a certain standard; failing which, you would shred yourself to pieces. The thought of imperfection makes you feel not-whole, incomplete, discontented and ill. The emotion that you experience is shame. There is a strong sense of disapproval towards the self.
How To Ground Yourself In 7 Ways
A reader to my blog posed me this question: How to Ground Yourself. Well, it can be accomplished in a few ways. I would like to share my ideas in this article.
(Update: I’m republishing this post once again as the ideas are timeless and as I am still being asked “how to ground yourself” today.)
What Is Grounding?

The Secret to Manifesting What You Want Starts Here
Are you hoping to get an absolute guarantee or proof that something or some idea will work first before you would consider putting in “trust” or effort?

Well, it doesn’t quite work that way.Continue reading
7 Signs of Inferiority Complex
Learn to recognise signs of inferiority complex. An inferiority complex is a state whereby you persistently believe and feel that you are not able to measure up to others. It is a sign of low self-esteem. The thought behind an inferiority complex is “I am not good enough”.
“The greater the feeling of inferiority that has been experienced, the more powerful is the urge to conquest and the more violent the emotional agitation.” – Alfred Adler
At least 95% of people have at one point or another encounter thoughts and feelings of inadequacy. However, you are said to have an inferiority complex should you constantly compare yourself with others. You see yourself as being in second place or falling short. Consequently, you feel poorly about yourself.
4 Ways to Water Programming with Positive Affirmations
One of the best techniques I have learnt is about how to do water programming with positive affirmations.
The use of water for healing is nothing new. For instance, in churches, for centuries, blessings of water have often done for the purpose of baptism or for the blessing of persons, places or things. Hence, water programming can be used for just about anything that you wish for.
As such, I am going to suggest that you look into using water for carrying messages of positive affirmations on success, health, relationships, love, happiness and abundance, to every single cell of our body.
How To Love Yourself In 17 Ways
How to love yourself when you don’t know how?
It’s exactly what it was like when I first started realising that I needed to love myself but have no idea where to start.
I felt embarrassed that I was clueless and that I should already know this stuff. “How to love yourself” sounded like something that everyone ought to know from young. You see…by the time I became aware about the importance of self-love, I was already an adult, married and with young children.
I even found it surprising (and even laughable) to realise that I was clueless.
Surely, I should be some kind of an expert? After all, as I recalled, relationship matters had been a key focus since my younger days. My attention was on dating, partying and looking for a potential partner. Over cups of latte, I would have long conversations with my girlfriends about relationship issues. As things turned out, I found myself failing miserably in my early relationships. I was in and out of love.

By paying too much attention to your money gremlin stories, you sabotage your plans for prosperity. At the soul level, all of us are gifted with the blueprint for abundance and success. Yet, this individual blueprint can become corrupted by the negative voice inside your head.
