The greatest mystics and teachers have long told us that everything is energy, a fact that is today undeniably confirmed by modern science. Albert Einstein said that "everything is energy... [that] a human being is a part of the whole called by us [the] Universe". Your thoughts are also energy. Invisible to your physical eyes, but very much alive with energy. More specifically, the first of the Universal Laws, the Law of Mentalism, tells us this energy is mind or consciousness. All, therefore, is Mind.

In order to get through things in life, we need to figure out what exactly is going on in our head. One of the most effective ways to do that is by sitting with your emotions. If you take the time, sit quietly and just pay attention to the emotion you are feeling, you will be able to dig deeper and see what is going on. Just sit with the emotion, feel it, embrace it and let it tell you what you need to know.

Hello all, I just want to let everyone know that I am back and we will be back to our normal schedule of every Tuesday and Friday.

Let's talk skin care. Do NOT make the mistake of thinking that you don't need to use anything to take care of your skin now.  You do have to take care of your skin now.  The point is PREVENTING problems.  It is easier to prevent skin problems now than to fix skin problems later. Skin care is not just the face.  It is the whole body.  As I mention in the podcast, Avon (which is on the girlstakingpower website) is the best cosmetic company out there that will help keep your skin healthy and young looking

Excuses may seem like rational reasons for us not to do something, but if we're not careful we can allow them to keep us from reaching our goals. Too often we accept our excuses as reasons why we cannot accomplish what we set out to do, and instead of finding alternatives we give up. When we keep our minds focused on our goals, we will find that excuses fade away in the light of our priorities, and issues become challenges that can help us become wiser and stronger.

As human beings, we cannot help but be subject to our preferences. However, we do have control over the manner in which these manifest themselves in our lives. Every value we hold dear is an expression of either support or opposition, and it is our perspective that determines whether we are for something or against it. Being for something is a vastly more potent means of inspiring change because it carries with it the power of constructive intent.

The further you distance yourself from your expectations, the more exhilarating your life will become.

Flexibility is the capacity to bend without breaking, as well as a continual willingness to change or be changed in order to accommodate new circumstances. People with flexible minds are open to shifting their course when necessary or useful; they are not overly attached to things going the way they had planned. This enables them to take advantage of more opportunities. There are a lot of advantages that come with the ability to stretch your mind.

There are a million issues that girls go through in their teenage and even early adult years. No matter the issue, whether it be having a crush on someone who doesn't feel the same or wanting to be part of a group that rejected you, all have a serious impact on our self-esteem and confidence. Personal growth is what helps us break out of the prison of feeling not good enough or pretty enough. Personal growth gives us back our self-esteem and our confidence.
