Self Empowerment for Happiness

The keys to finding happiness are the tools of self empowerment.

What does self empowerment actually mean?

According to Wikipedia, "empowerment is the process that allows one to gain the knowledge, skill-sets and attitude needed to cope with the changing world and the circumstances in which one lives."

So, here I am to help you gain the knowledge, skill-set and attitude you need to achieve the level of happiness you desire.

Happiness is a Choice.

I urge you to be empowered and take 100% responsibility for your own happiness. Learn with me how you can take action to free yourself from burdens, unhappiness, negative thinking and feeling.

There are several tools and concepts of self empowerment to help us work out how to find happiness - to enable us to achieve our ultimate goal of being happy for no reason.

Beating Stress

It's easy to get angry when you're stressed. A stressful person is not a happy person (as I'm sure you've experienced).

This was me. I used to be stressed, stressed, stressed! Uptight and irritable, and I didn't like myself for it one bit!

Now I am so much calmer.

The other day, when I came home from work, my daughter told me about how she nearly set the kitchen ablaze. (Well she did have a little blaze going actually.)

She was dreading telling me but my reaction was... well, I didn't react really. It wasn't that I reacted and calmed myself down. I just didn't get that emotional intensity that we had both been used to me getting. I said to her "Well, as long as you've learned from your mistake, then that's OK."

Now I'm not saying I wouldn't have had an emotional reaction if I had come home to charred ruins! :-) But I was amazed at the transformation. We were both amazed.

So, let's go some way to choosing happiness and find out what causes us to be stressed and what we can do to eliminate much of it. I have some great self empowerment tools for you here, including some helpful relaxation methods, choosing what's important over what's urgent, culling commitments, the effects of drinking water and nutrition to name a few.

You'll soon be on your way to feeling happy. :-)

Emotional Freedom Techniques

Here's a hard one. Do you know how to be happy even though you've had a traumatic or miserable past? How can you be a happy person in these circumstances?

EFT, Emotional Freedom Techniques, is one great secret to happiness.

It can release you from the emotional charge of painful memories, freeing you to achieve authentic happiness. EFT is the most effective self empowerment tool to deal with the psychological blocks to happiness that we learned as a child. It's one of the main keys to happiness - it helps us change our mindset and eliminate negative thoughts and feelings. It's easy to learn and to self administer. It doesn't involve drugs or dodgy hypnosis.

This is one of my main self empowerment tools that enabled me to become a happy person.

Emotional Freedom Techniques is a unique energy balancing technique that helps you alleviate emotional and physical problems by saying key phrases while tapping lightly on the body’s acupuncture meridians.

EFT has been proved successful in thousands of clinical cases and it applies to just about every emotional, health and performance issue you can name and it often works where nothing else will. Tens of thousands of people worldwide are now using EFT. Learn more about EFT here.

Overcoming Addictions

I can give you several self empowerment techniques you can use to help overcome addictions.

By the way, I'm not just talking about illegal drugs and alcohol here. There are all sorts of addictions that everyday people are in the grip of that make us unhappy, including relationships.

The most insidious addiction, though, is sugar. This substance seriously affects our moods - ever heard of sugar depression or sugar blues?

Happiness is a choice so I'll give you tools to overcome your addiction to sugar and other substances in your life - if I can do it, so can you. (And if you think you're not addicted to sugar, try not consuming it in any form for three days...)

Eliminating Negative Thinking

Have you noticed the words that keep going around in your head?

Words like "I am SO stupid?" "How could I have done/said such a thing?" "I never do anything right!"

Does this sound familiar to you? Does it make you happy to hear yourself?

OK, just how do we stop all that negative self talk when it's been with us since childhood? Well, as I've mentioned, happiness is a choice and I have several self empowerment tools up my sleeve, my friend. You'll soon be finding happiness.
