Happy Tuesday!!!!

It's Week 22 the final week of our first M4L Dare to BE Happy Challenge.  We had so much fun and saw so many great changes in each other and other participants that we have decided to keep playing the challenge.  Next phase of the challenge will be focusing on creating a GREAT finale to 2014.

Last week we focused on Optimism Key to Eating Stress So IT Doesn't Eat You My AHA was: Inner Peace is a familiar place for me now.  I can go there anytime I need some inspiration!

This week we focus on Anchor in YOUR Power.

What is authentic power? 
  • Understanding:  When do I feel powerful?  When do I feel powerless?  How do I empower myself
  • Signs of knowing when you are in your power
  • Are you being assertive or aggressive?
  • Communicate to Connection
  • COURAGE
  • Personal Power Visualization
  • How Can You Help Others on Their Road to Self-Empowerment? 
    "Authentic power has its roots in the deepest source of our being.  Authentic power cannot be bought, inherited, or hoarded.  An authentically empowered person is incapable of making anyone or anything a victim." 
    ~ Gary Zukav, The Seat of the Soul
**Judith found 5 tips for communicating assertively to anchor your power where yes means yes and no means no..

  • Music Medicine: Many times optimism is extinguished when there is no hope. And lack of hope may extinguish your Pilot Light and you plummet into the depths of unsettledness. Your instinctive music listening habits may throw you into the future where you want to be more relaxed or happier. If you find yourself feeling instantly unsettled as soon as the soothing or happy music is done, then self-medicating with music 24/7 is not the permanent solution. It’s important to validate, then release those unsettled feelings, before listening to soothing or happy music. Watch Judith Pinkerton’s TEDxUNLV Talk "Music Powers Potential: Building Mental Fitness” to discover more about your music listening habits and how they may keep you stuck in stress, or shift you out of it. Learn how to be stress-less AFTER the music has stopped so that self-medicating with music 24/7 is no longer necessary in building your optimism. Download the Music Medicine Boot Camp to learn how to apply your music listening habits differently for self-empowerment. Re-organize your music into powerful playlists and Mood Sequence Formulas™, and cross-train to new music to eat stress before it eats you!

This week we are focusing on Joy in Crisis with these topics: 
  • Joy is in every moment and KNOWing that is an INSIDE job!
  • Tools to Tapping into JOY

  • Music Medicine: Many times joy does not bubble up quickly when we are in crisis because our unsettled moods of anxiety, fear, anger, frustration, depression or sadness keep us overwhelmed in the current situation. It’s important to validate, then release those unsettled feelings which clears the way to feeling more at peace and joyful about possibilities. Music 4 Life’s Stress Brake CD is successful in significantly reducing anxiety, anger and stress, offering a 15-minute Mood Sequence Formula of different music genres to exercise your moods into a catharsis (“purification of emotions).  (purchase the CD at Music 4 Life – call 702-889-2881 or email management@music4life.us)
