Do you believe that you are worthy of more happiness, success and abundance? Know this is possible as you live your best life through AWARENESS!

The more aware that we become the more we can see what is working and not working for us! The more we get to change into a better version!

“Start before you feel ready. 

You don’t need to know where it’s all going. 

You’ll work it out along the way.”

Rebecca Campbell

What holds us back?

Looking at old patterns and behaviours that keep recurring, what are the emotions that come to the surface?

Holding onto fears and limiting beliefs will block your energy centres (chakras). Are you numbing and blaming others for how you feel or the difficult situation you find yourself in?

Awareness

When you start to feel into these emotions and give yourself permission to surrender, resistance starts to shift! You stop trying to control and become more aware of how your body is feeling!

Feeling this resistance is your body’s way of letting you know that there’s something better waiting for you. But you have to let go of the fears and doubts that are holding you back before you can receive the new, something better.

Becoming aware of where this resistance is showing up in your body guides you to where the energy block is. It usually appears in the areas of one of the 7 chakras in the body. Moving our energy is the start to shifting this resistance and opening yourself up to new possibilities.

Balancing all the chakras in the body is important to improve your health, stay aligned to your purpose and live a fun, joyful, abundant and successful life.

Root chakra

• This energy centre reflects our basic needs to survive in the physical world. Has a lot to do with health, money, career, feeling safe and secure. 
• IN BALANCE : Supported | Grounded | Connected
• UNBALANCED: GIT disturbances | Weight imbalances | Fatigue

Sacral Chakra

• This is a powerful chakra to connect with more creativity, pleasure, sexual energy, manifesting and money. Often people absorb and carry other people’s emotions in this area, as well as their own unprocessed emotions.
• BALANCE: Compassion | Empathy
• UNBALANCED: Energetic Overwhelm | Leaky energetic boundaries | energetic burnout

Solar Plexus Chakra

• This is your Power centre – how you chose to manifest your desires. More action orientated, your drive – masculine energy
• IN BALANCE: Trust the process | Passion | Effortless
• UNBALANCE: Unmotivated | Anxious | Depressed | Procrastination | Powerless

Heart Chakra

• This energy centre relates to self-love, self-worth, self-acceptance, need for approval.
• IN BALANCE: Compassion | Acceptance | Non judgement
• UNBALANCE: Doubt | Lack of Clarity | Victim

Throat Chakra

• This is the communication centre and has a lot to do with self-expression. Speaking your truth and being clear on your message through writing, speaking or art
• IN BALANCE: Articulate | Honest | Truthful
• UNBALANCE: Throat & Ear issues | Difficult to speak your truth

3rd Eye Chakra

• Natural lie detector. Ability to see the truth in others
• IN BALANCE: Focused | Determined | A Reflector of Truth
• UNBALANCE: Trouble concentrating | Lack of Clarity | Limits your ability to see your dreams

Crown Chakra

• This energy centre is about “clear knowing” and clear communication.
• IN BALANCE: Articulate | Honest | Truthful
• UNBALANCE: Confusion | Lack clarity | Rigid Thoughts | Powerless

So why are our energy centres important and why balance our chakras?

When your chakras are “blocked” this can contribute to mental, physical and emotional ailments.

Regular balancing the chakras in the body is important to help us stay aligned with improved mental, physical and emotional health and live a healthy, joyful and abundant life by.

• Removing energy blockages that are holding you back
• Becoming more present and focused
• Increasing awareness as you start to align to your purpose 
• Letting go of goals that are no longer relevant 
• Gaining clarity

Steps to increase awareness:

1. Accept personal responsibility – are you ready to shift from being in victim mode and blaming others and move into acceptance  and begin your transformation journey? – FORGIVE | CREATE BOUNDARIES | KNOW YOUR VALUE | HEA:L | CHANGE
2. Set your intentions – Ask yourself how can you bring joy, fun, health, abundance and success into your life?
3. What do you want to change and commit to change!

I can’t believe that it has been 4 years since the Gold Coast hosted the 2018 Commonwealth Games! Having fun and making a difference!

The 2018 Gold Coast Commonwealth Games

Prior to the 2018 games a post appeared on my facebook feed encouraging Gold Coast locals to volunteer for the Commonwealth games. I initially dismissed it but over the next few weeks I saw the same post several times. I realised the universe was trying to tell me something! 

Messages are all around us!

How often do you see the messages but just ignore them?

I decided to take action and sign up to be a medical responder volunteer. I had no idea what that even meant but I cleared my calendar for the 2 weeks of the Commonwealth games.

It was an amazing experience!

A real buzz and so much fun. Meeting amazing volunteers who were also assigned to the volleyball venue and we became besties.

Like attracts like!

We all had a common goal! Supporting our community and showcasing our beautiful part of the world to everyone. It was something really special!

What I didn’t realise until we were on-site was that each venue required a specific number of medical responders each day so that the games could be held for safety reasons!

It was such an honour to be able to support the local community so that we could host these fantastic games.

Some of the highlights for me:

• Having conversations with random strangers as we all made our way to the venues
• The energy on the Gold Coast was so friendly, meeting strangers who were all loving the games and the high energy vibe that had created
• Working with a team of professionals who just put up their hand to help, sharing the workload and having each others back – Our values aligned
• Being around high energy and humour 
• Everyone was having fun
• No one was in a rush
• People were connecting with each other – the bringing together of community

You know that you have found your tribe when your values align

It all starts with energy!

When we align to our energetic blueprint, we call in like minded people, we become magnetic!

We amplify our energy, we improve our health and gain clarity on what brings us joy!

When we rise, we lift others with us, creating a ripple effect!

The by-products are health, happiness, joy, abundance and success!

Are you ready to improve your health, increase your energy, have fun and create success as you align to your energetic blueprint? Let’s have a chat to see how I can help?

The post Having fun and making a difference! appeared first on Joan McEwan.

• Do you feel you are “too much” or “not enough”?
• Are you “too quiet” or “too loud”?
• Do you feel that you are abundant in life or living in scarcity?

These experiences are more common than you probably realise!
It starts from an early age, we grow up fitting into other people’s view of how we should be. 

• The way we should act
• How we should behave
• How we should feel
• The way we should think

With this conditioning it doesn’t take long for us to lose our identity, lose sight of who we really are!    

I know that was me for a long time! Always feeling different, never feeling safe and scared to speak my truth for fear of being judged or laughed at! I’ve never felt “normal” have you?

My life revolved around this pattern. However, each new phase of my life that I entered the same feelings arose and I always felt different! What was going on?

I was fed up believing that I was never going to be good enough or successful enough!

So I changed and you can too!

I changed my life overnight, got a job in the resources sector and pushed through all the barriers to become a senior executive. It was a struggle, competing with the heavy male dominated energy but I got there.

During this journey I realised the struggle was hard because I was still “different”. I had failed to be my real self! 

Something was missing!

You see, since a child I have always been intuitive, but kept it hidden and that kept me “different”. I could read people’s energy, I could see their thoughts, I knew what they were thinking and I could feel when they were hurting. This scared them and they distanced themselves from me.

I felt I had to keep my gifts hidden as I learned from an early age that if I shared what I was thinking it often “triggered” people. Causing them to face things in their life that they perhaps did not want to deal with.

Even though I reached success in the resources sector, when I left I realised a part of me was missing. It was my IDENTITY. That part of me that was intuitive. I had hidden it so deep that I had to learn who I was again and trust that she was going to be ok!

That is why I created my business to support and guide others just like me who have always “felt different”. Who has been stifled!

You can be your real self and be successful, abundant, happy and healthy! Claim to be your authentic self now!

Claiming your intuition and using it as your SUPERPOWER is your zone of genius. Using your gifts allows your awareness to heighten, your soul awakens and your transformation begins. Energy shifts as you align to joy, happiness and abundance. You become MAGNETIC.

Let me know if you can relate, do you need some help to shift your energy and claim your Superpower? We all have the ability to use our intuition, claim yours now!

We all have dreams but when you bring your dreams into the present you Activate your codes and live an inspired life!

We all need upgrades!

Just like our computers need upgrades, our human self needs upgrades also. Otherwise we just keep doing the same thing day after day, year after year. Just doing what we think others expect of us. We stop expanding and start to feel our energy contracting.

Ultimately, never reaching our potential or living our dreams and experiencing our desires. 

Can you relate?

• Do you feel that you are missing out on reaching your full potential?
• You feel that your current life is dull and boring?
• Are you scared when you think about changing your current life?
• Dreaming of a life where you can have fun and freedom instead of living in scarcity?
• Always worrying about not having a secure future, enough money, a thriving business and beautiful relationships?

Living with a focus around lack, scarcity and doubt keeps your energy contracted instead of being expansive. However, prevents you from growing into your full potential.

Are you a plodder or a galloper?

Plodders are just happy going with the flow, however Gallopers want to experience everything life has to offer them! They excel and shift into their happy place when they open up to receiving health, wisdom and abundance codes. In contrast gallopers are vibrant and exciting to be around. Above all, they are visionaries and influencers.

They are on this planet to make a difference and don’t want to waste a minute.

Gallopers embrace these energetic upgrades that allow light code activations of health, wisdom and abundance to enter into their cellular memory. Experiencing energetic spring cleans and upgrades to stay relevant. 

We are energy beings first!

Letting go of dense heavy energy, old beliefs and stagnant ancestral patterns, making space to receive upgraded information from these light codes.

• Our energy becomes expansive as these activations and upgrades awaken our wants and desires, shifting into our conscious awareness, then magic happens!
• Suddenly the world opens up to infinite potential and possibilities and our energy becomes expansive. It becomes effortless to take inspired actions. Becoming in-flow with our purpose and passion.
• Gaining clarity on your journey, your needs, your desires whilst receiving guidance on actions to take. 
• Fear dissipates and confidence and clarity appear.
• Inspired action becomes automatic and liberating.
• Happiness, joy and freedom enter your life. 
• Your energy is amplified, you are more vibrant and your health can improve.
• Suddenly your life flows easier than ever before and you attract abundance in.
• You become magnetic and it feels magical! 

Journey into your Akashic Records!

This experience can be deepened by journeying into your Akashic Records – the library of your soul, where all your wisdom, thoughts, dreams and desires are held.

A place where you can receive guidance as you access and awaken your innate wisdom. 

“I awoke, only to see the rest of the world was still asleep”

Leonardo da Vinci

What does your health blueprint look like – are you coded for health?

Have you ever wondered why some people have great health and success in their life and others seem to struggle? Genetics may play a part but we are all able to improve our health.

• Do you find having good health is a constant struggle?
• Never having enough energy?
• Always feeling tired and suffering from insomnia has become your fearful friend?
• Fatigue, exhaustion and burnout has become a part of who you are? 

Some people suggest that if you eat a “healthy” diet, exercise and meditate then you will be healthy! And while this is partly true, however I believe that there’s more to good health and wellness than that!

Imagine good health!

Imagine if you could activate dormant health codes within your body that help you align to your health blueprint!

So you could experience what good health looks like for you and change your current beliefs that tell you that you are destined for poor health. How would your body and mind feel about that?

What would it feel like for you if you could get your energy behind everything you do – live at a more vibrant frequency?

• Doing  everything with PURPOSE, with increased AWARENESS and feeling ALIGNED to bringing in joy, happiness, health and success!
• Being in-flow, joyful without suffering exhaustion
• Doing what lights you up and feeling great about it
• Having time to enjoy life instead of always rushing

Our DNA holds the key!

Our DNA holds the blueprint of our life. Within our blueprint we can find many sub groups of our blueprint. 

Imagine a life where you can activate some of your 98% of dormant DNA and awaken your health codes to improve your life? We know that by entering the quantum field, the Akasha, we can energetically explore our health blueprint. 

Building a foundation that deepens our awareness around what is possible, aligning as we let go of resistance and release old beliefs, patterns and ways of thinking that have held us back or are no longer working!. 

Exploring the root cause and setting you free!

What the research tells us!

Dr Joe Dispensa shares his research on the human body stating that its innate intelligence, subconscious mind or spiritual aspects are merely waiting for our permission to act. Going on to confirm that we have the ability to rewire our brains and change our life.

With a regular practice of entering the field of the quantum, the Akasha we give our subconscious mind permission to explore our infinite potential and unlimited possibilities. Exploring what is possible for our health and changing our thinking around this.

Codes of health!

My Codes of Health Masterclass starts to explain how unlocking your codes of health can help you grow financially and shift into an abundance mindset. Stepping into a new paradigm of business having fun, gaining freedom and clarity, leading to an abundance of health and success. 

Check out my Codes of Health Masterclass to learn more.

Affirm: I choose to release and let go of my poor health choices and I give myself permission to create an abundance of health now!

The post Your health blueprint – are you coded for health? appeared first on Joan McEwan.

Sometime ago I wrote a blog about are you a human BE-ing or a human DO-ing. In it I posed the question: “are you just going through the day to day routine or are you taking mindful actions and being consciously aware?” What changes can you make to take control of your life, health, wellness, career and business? Sometimes we just need to go back to basics to see what’s missing in our wellness regime to find the answers?

The key steps are:

Be honest with yourself and ask yourself how are you really feeling? 

What parts of your body feel light and energetic and what areas feel slow and sluggish? 

Do you feel excited about your career or business? 

Do you bounce out of bed every morning or is it a struggle?

Look at what’s working in your life and what isn’t working so well? Are you just doing what feels safe and comfortable?

Are you where you want to be or are you stuck in a holding pattern?

Life becomes easy!

When you find your purpose, you start to align to your soul’s path! As you follow this path, life becomes easy and effortless. It is easy to see the next step and take the appropriate action.

– You move into a state of BE – ing.

– Taking intentional action with a laser focus.

– Experiencing more energy and vitality

– Loving life

– Feeling less stressed and happier

“You don’t have to see the whole staircase, just take the first step.”

Martin Luther King

Being consciously aware!

BE-ing present allows you to go about your daily tasks being mindful, anchoring in your awareness as you consciously create. Mastering you energy one day at a time with conscious awareness. 

Doing the inner work to activate ancient knowledge and wisdom that is available to support you on your journey.  Life is not meant to be hard. Ready to tap into your hidden resources?

BE-ing in a state of flow externally, reflects a state of flow internally. On a cellular level, the cells in the body are working well, absorbing the nutrients they need to support health. The healthier the cells the less risk of getting dis-ease!

Healthy cells!

Healthy cells means more energy. More energy helps increase clarity around your awareness so that you can take inspired action. Vibrant energy means that you are in balance and harmony, feeling lighter. Work and business become effortless and more fun. You are loving your work and attracting your soulmate clients, receiving abundantly for your soul’s work. 

What’s missing in your wellness regime?

1. Are you nurturing your soul gifts as part of your regime?
2. If your energy feels heavy, what would you need to do to shift that energy? Perhaps listen to some music, dance, bush walking or ocean swimming?
3. What does your current wellness regime look like and what does a great wellness regime looks like for you?
4. Adapting this new wellness regime, how does it make you feel? Excited? Energised?
5. Now upgrade your wellness regime by taking inspired action.
6. Give yourself permission to focus on you!

What do you desire!

Decide today that you are going to stop being mediocre and shift into being magnificent. Whatever that means for you! More BE-ing present and less DO-ing!

Committing to a supportive wellness regime, supports your soul, helps you be more present and consciously aware. Becoming more energy efficient and focused on your goals.

Your highest purpose is to align to your soul’s potential. Unlocking your health codes supports you in that alignment.  

We are born with everything we need!

We are born with all the knowledge we need for our journey in this lifetime. This information is stored in our DNA. Storing all our inherited and ancestral information. Scientists believe that we access less than 2% of this information in our DNA. 

So as we choose to awaken we can activate some of our 98% dormant information held in the DNA. Activating our health and wisdom codes allows us to remember ancient knowledge that supports expansion of our unique gifts. 

Our hidden codes!

Helping us to align to our soul’s path and fulfil our purpose on this planet. The key is accessing and activating these codes deep within our DNA.

Are you ready to awaken your dormant codes of health and wisdom? Do you want to reclaim what is yours? Ready to improve your health and grow your business financially?

Join me for my FREE “CODES of HEALTH” Masterclass where I will share more on how unlocking your health codes can help your business grow financially. As a powerful bonus you will receive a health code activation to boost you on your journey!

Yours in health and wellness!

The post What’s missing in your wellness regime? appeared first on Joan McEwan.

How many times have you reflected on experiences and decisions that you have made and asked, “what if” I had trusted my intuition? Would the results have been different? Could the outcomes have been better? Often when you ask yourself “what if” you shift the focus of your thoughts and perception from how you see things at that moment in time. It breaks the cycle of being comfortable, defensive, bored, or stagnant. “What if” I had trusted my intuition? “What if” the outcome could have been different?

Recently a friend of mine had been telling me how difficult her job was now. Clients that she was dealing with were being challenging and as a result she felt her job was being made harder. She was feeling angry, defensive, and frustrated! Her clients seemed to be draining her energy!

So, what was really going on here from an energetic perspective? When you have a plan of action and someone comes along and the outcomes shift, it leaves you feeling vulnerable and defensive. It feels as if you have lost control, they have taken your power away. On an energetic level these clients have caused an interference with your energy.

We know that when we feel angry or fearful, we shift into the emotions of being anxious, despair and even blame! However, these emotions resonate at low frequencies that can drain our energy, leave us feeling exhausted, hopeless, and miserable.

Instantly my friend felt vulnerable and started doubting herself that all the hard work that she had prepared was not going to be helpful. When she shifted into this emotion, she quickly realised what had happened and knew that she had to take spirited action.

Hawkins scale of consciousness explains scientifically that when we recognise these feeling such as anger, blame and fear we can shift our thinking and move from a place of feeling disempowered to one of empowerment. This instantly shifts our energy and raises our frequency. Stop getting caught up in other people’s dramas!

Staying in a higher energetic vibration helps us to stay on purpose. Not getting distracted by other’s thoughts. Keeps us on-point with a crystal-clear focus on our plan. Staying in your own lane helps you stay focused and in alignment.

“You have power over your mind,
not outside events.
Realise, think and you will find strength”.

Marcus Aurelius

3 steps to strengthen your energetic boundaries: –

1. Learn to recognise when other’s people’s energy is impacting you and shift your thinking. Keep out of their drama and their energy field by strengthening your energy.
2. Keep in your own lane, don’t let other’s thoughts over-ride yours, don’t give away your power!
3. Get comfortable with who you are, your abilities and your soul plan. When you have clarity, your confidence rises, work becomes enjoyable and inflow.

Are you unsure on how to strengthen your energy and build on your intuition?
Do you fear you will be judged by others or seen as being “woohoo”?

We are all intuitive some just more aware and developed than others. I have put together a fun 5 step plan to explain the journey to unlock your intuition and gain clarity on your soul’s path!

So, if you are ready to journey from feeling misaligned and stifled to becoming mindful, powerful, and successful then join my 4-day free masterclass where we will walk you through the steps to “Unlock your intuitive powers and gain clarity on your soul’s path!

Ready to surrender, listen and trust your intuitive guidance as you make a difference. Firstly, the energy surrounding April is very magnetic so trust that you are on the right path and keep attracting more of what you desire. Eventually this will herald in more joy, fun and you will have more focus on improving your health. Lastly, take time for your hobbies and maybe even some travel! It’s your move – your life – shine like a diamond!

Learning new ways!

In reality, shifting from living in our male dominated energy we are starting to feel more comfortable exercising our right brain more. That is to say, this is where our feminine energy lies. With this in mind, we become more aware of this energy allows us to be more creative. As we become more creative, we are more inspired and motivated which forges us ahead as we take intentional action to reach our goals. As a result, balancing our masculine and feminine energies within our body supports our body to heal.

When we go into default mode!

Just to note, this current April energy can be strong and powerful, for some of us it may feel overwhelming! If this is the case, be mindful of these unconscious energies that may be at play that may cause us to default into binging on things such as Netflix, alcohol, or even chocolate! Staying in this default zone for too long can lead us to sabotage our growth and keep us playing small.
 

As you doubt, you learn to trust,
As you grow, you start to heal,
As you believe you begin to expand,
As you expand, you start to transform,
As you transform, change begins to happen
Change can bring joy, happiness, and success

Joan McEwan

Imagination is the first stage of manifesting!

As an illustration, can you remember as a child watching Star Trek and pretending that you were Captain Kirk? Going to the final frontier, taking his crew to explore places where no man had gone before. Did you ever imagine what it would be like being this character, igniting your imagination? Sometimes pretending to be a lead character in a movie, can stimulate our imagination, triggering our inner wisdom that guides us to unlock our hidden potential.
 
To point out when we explore our potential through a movie character, not only can it be be fun but it gives us courage to see what is possible. In effect it helps us to grow and expand our mind, reflect on possibilities, and heal. Hence, stepping into what our purpose and passion is with confidence. Gaining a sense of knowing, really trusting who we are and what we really want in our life, career, and business.

Who was your super here!

So, who was your favourite movie character? What qualities did they have that you admired? How did they influence others in the movie? How did that character inspire you? On reflection what were the gaps between you and your favourite movie character? What steps could you take to embrace some of their qualities that would ignite your life? Nothing happens if you don’t initiate action!

Why we should consciously create!

As we consciously create, we deliberately make change happen for us by amplifying our inner knowing. Almost by default we start to release old doubts and fears that have been holding us back and keeping us playing small.

The post It’s your move – your life – shine like a diamond! appeared first on Joan McEwan.

Generally speaking the first quarter of this year has had a big focus around being still, slowing down and going within and reflecting. In short, this has allowed us time and space to plan the rest of the year in alignment and harmony to do our purpose work. This year’s mantra is more is less, cut out the noise and be in the present moment. Moving from dependency to empowerment!

Listen to the signs

As often is the case, when you don’t listen, the universe has a way to make you listen! I have spent the beginning of this year recovering and healing from a broken leg. This has given me the perfect opportunity to slow down, reflect and go within as I allowed my body to heal.

The inner work!

I spent the first few weeks very immobile and dependant on others and I must admit that as much I was grateful my confidence took a hit. This gave me more time and inner focus to look at why all these factors were triggering me? In the work I do I always tell my clients that when you feel vulnerable and fearful, it is time to do the shadow work and clear these fears. So here was the teacher being forced to take some of her own advice! Never an easy process but sticking with it is not only powerful but incredibly rewarding.

So, 8 weeks post operatively I had made huge progress however the closest I could get to my favourite place (the beach) was this beachside bench with my crutches in tow. Just getting to the beach and feeling the fresh salty air in my face and hearing the crashing sounds of the surf was healing for my soul. My mood shifted immediately and gave me a sense that I could achieve anything just by making the effort. Even though getting to the beach was a huge effort, it taught me several key lessons: –

1. One step at a time, keep moving forward no matter how tough the obstacle may seem
2. Don’t let your mind limit your potential just because your situation has changed and become more difficult
3. Never underestimate the power of self-responsibility and connecting with nature, it is more beneficial than a tonic in a bottle at times

Let go of resisting!

During this healing journey I reached out to people to help support me, as I climbed over my hurdles. At times these seemed insurmountable and the vulnerability kept showing up. However, we all kept going giving each other strength and wisdom along the way.

To ask and receive is a big lesson that does not come easily to many of us. Surrendering is one of the first steps in releasing old patterns, behaviours and ways of thinking that can hold us back. Keeping us stuck. The more you surrender, the more your focus turns to hope as you gain courage to seize opportunities and the impact from this is that it creates more space. Remember the saying, “out with the old and in with the new”?

“Nothing will work unless you do”

Maya Angelou

Create space!

Now reflecting on the past few months as I have healed, shed old ways of doing and created a space and a lighter energy to take me to the next level in my life and business. It seems like a similar process is taking place as the paradigm of leadership shifts in business and organisations.

My recovery took me from, moving from dependency to empowerment! Just like the current paradigm of leadership is being shaken and encouraged to shift away from a “dependency” style as leaders are being encouraged to empower their teams more.

Get to know yourself first then others!

So, what does that mean for leaders? Well, in a word the forward-thinking leaders will start to look at their weaknesses and vulnerabilities. To move through these effectively and successfully with the support of someone they trust. Research shows that senior leaders seek out mentors that they can relate to, someone who gives reliable feedback and who can share relevant stories that support their development positively. They found that obtaining a mentor who was a good match achieved great outcomes.

In essence, these relations require trust, confidentiality and being able to “think out of the box”. Blending and balancing the use of the left and right side of the brain sparks the creative juices. Leading to a different approach to leadership, a softer and more collaborative one that empowers others.

Take intentional action!

Astrologically, this week’s energy supports “taking intentional action”. Follow your dreams and do what ignites the fire within your belly. Surrender to the resistance you feel inside and own it. When you do this with a passion the way that you look at life shifts in an instant.

“Don’t ask yourself what the world needs,

ask yourself what makes you come alive.

And then go and do that.

Because what the world needs

is people who are alive”.

Howard Thurman

Consider these 3 points to support you Moving from dependency to empowerment!

1. Set your clear boundaries as you set yourself up to shine
2. You can’t give from an empty cup, self-care and self-responsibility are paramount. Fill your cup first
3. Start using more of the right side of your brain, your creative side, pause, listen, lean-in and take intentional action as you become more visible

As always, I would love to hear your thoughts?

The post Moving from dependancy to empowerment! appeared first on Joan McEwan.

We know that the world is going through massive change and transformation. One of the outputs of this is that we have a new type of leader and entrepreneur emerging. These leaders and entrepreneurs have seen the gaps and are creating solutions and offering purposeful opportunities on a humanitarian, social, personal, and professional level. Tune into your values stay connected intentional and claim what you desire!

Our energy has shifted!

Have you noticed that what you value, and love now is probably different from this time last year?  Our energy and mindset have shifted, and we now have a deeper clarity around what we love, what lights us up. The energy for the next couple of months is reminding us about the power of playfulness. To support our body and mind, we need to learn new ways of being due to all the changes occurring in our lives that are out of our control.

Be courageous!

All of this requires courage, as we surrender to new ways. When you move into the energy of fun and joy and playfulness, this helps you to manifest more. It also encourages you to be more visible in your life, career, and business. This is your time to shine and own who you really are. Tune into your values stay connected intentional and claim what you desire!

Lead with playfulness!

Our creative senses are ignited as we lead with playfulness. Joy enters our life. Your unique codes that lie within you are being activated as you heal through joy are playfulness. You are now stepping into a space where you can redefine what success means to you, letting go of old ways of thinking and social programming that are no longer relevant.

This shift creates an inner balance of our masculine and feminine energies. As this aligns, it allows us to accelerate our creativeness as well as taking action on what we want to create and manifest. We become more purposeful and elevate our happiness and success.

Ask yourself “where are you dimming the light in your life?”  Where are you not aligned; what mask do you need to let go of? Success occurs when you are clear about what you want to achieve in your life and career. Be generous and share your gifts, come from a place of being in service.

Own it!

Be strong with knowing who you are and how can you use your gifts to contribute to making the world a better place. Stretch yourself out of your comfort zone and say yes to your challenges to let go of the old and grow into the new. Challenge the old ways as many of them have become irrelevant with our shift in mindset.

We are all powerful creators, and this process becomes easier when we stop overthinking and look inward and trust our inner knowing and focus on joy and playfulness. Let go of the fear, control, and ego state that can hold you back from repeating old patterns and beliefs.Tune into your values stay connected intentional and claim what you desire!

“Courage is knowing what not to fear”

Plato

Fear can keep us stuck!

We know that when we live in fear, we sabotage our potential to succeed. We may fear failing, being visible, not being good enough or even being successful. According to traditional Chinese medicine, the organs in the body correlate to specific emotions. Fear and anxiety correlate to the kidneys. Therefore, an additional way to help support, strengthen and balance your body and mind is to be mindful of your kidneys. Remember when we support our physical body we also support our emotional and energetic bodies and we can grow and succeed easier in our life, business, career, and relationships.

Some tips to consider: –

1. Eat foods that strengthen and support your kidneys such as blueberries, garlic, cranberries, olive oil, cauliflower, and salmon, although there are many other foods.
2. Reduce or remove refined and processed foods from your diet
3. Remove sugar from your diet
4. Increase fibre-rich fruit and vegetables
5. Reduce alcohol intake and stay hydrated
6. Keep an eye on your blood pressure as high blood pressure may indicate some stress on your kidneys
7. Just breath and remember less is more

Moving through this exciting year I encourage all female leaders and entrepreneurs to stay balanced, support their bodies, mind, and spirit. By doing this you will activate your unique codes that will support your health and success.

Love to hear what you are doing to escalate your success in career, business, and life this year?
