Spring is a great time to focus on well being and self-care. What have you done for yourself over the winter? (Besides loving every minute of those comfort foods!) Well being means supporting yourself physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. It's time to release old energy and make space for new ideas. Spring is about rebirth. Are you ready to give a little time to yourself to create new awareness and balance in your life?
Your day is busy. You have a family to take care of, your job seems to need you 24/7, you have a house that needs your attention, not to mention after-school activities and errands. It doesn't seem like there is time for anything extra! Let's work on creating a few well deserved minutes for you!
It doesn't take much to get going...small steps! First ask yourself, "what is the minimum time I can take for me?" Even 15 minutes is a start! Next ask yourself, "how do I want to feel?" and "what do I want to get from this time?". Also, don't forget to give yourself permission, you are worth it!
If you're having trouble getting started, here are a few suggestions.
· Take a walk or a run.
· Use a soothing face-mask and listen to calming music.
· Read a little of your favorite book.
· Meditate.
· Sit on your deck and "watch nature".
· Draw, paint, or create in some way.
Creating a little time for yourself will help balance your energy and lift your spirits. You will feel calm and ready to take on whatever lies ahead of you.

Improving Your Self
Let's face it, we all need Self Confidence to cope with the trials of modern life, but what many people don't realise is the extent to which our lives are governed by this simple attribute of personality. Self-confident people are winners: things go right for them; people like them; and they get the results they want more often than not.
Now wouldn't you like to have more of that kind of quality in your life? Well - you can! If you are not a self-confident person, you can become one; and it's easier than you might think. But before we can walk through the 'door' to unlimited self-confidence, we need to first discover exactly what a confident person is; then we can look at how to acquire it.
First of all, a self-confident person is someone who believes they are confident. Their lives exude confidence because they are simply being true to that unshakeable inner belief. Conversely, a person without confidence is someone who does not have that belief; and is equally acting out the consequences of their inner thoughts. Same process - different results!
Here we have the key to acquiring that confidence: we must change our beliefs about who and what we are. Once we have done that, the rest - the unshakeable self confidence we seek - will follow quite naturally. So the question really becomes one about how we can go about the business of changing our beliefs about who we are and what we are capable of achieving; and there are many ways to do that including self-hypnosis, NLP and the use of positive affirmations.
In this article, I want to take a look at the use of positive affirmations. Affirmations do work because they deal with changing the inner person first. The reason they work is because: if you choose to repeat a particular phrase over and over again (I recommend at least three times a day; and three repetitions each time - that's 9 time in total - minimum) then eventually your subconscious mind will accept that you are what you have been saying.
Once that acceptance has taken place for the inner person, the outer person will begin to experience the benefits. The good news is that you don't even have to believe in the process; you just need to engage in the discipline of doing the repetitions each and every day until you produce the results you want.
Affirmations for Self-Confidence and Self-Belief:
- I AM Growing in Confidence Each and Every Day
- I AM Receiving All the Self-Confidence I Need
- I AM Brimming with Confidence
So try the above affirmations, repeating each of them three times; and do this procedure three times per day. Try them for a period of one month and you will begin to see some excellent results!
