* If you weren't afraid to fail, what risks would you take? * If you weren't afraid to fail, what new people would you introduce yourself to today? * If you weren't afraid to fail, what ideas would you share with others? * If you weren't afraid to fail, what would you say to your loved ones? Imagine how successful your life would be if you could Clear Your Fear of Failure. We lose so many opportunities when we're afraid to fail, because the risk of failing outweighs the risk of losing these opportunities. If you're afraid to fail, you live a smaller life, because smaller means less risk... less risk means fewer chances to fail in your own mind or in the eyes of others. But just imagine how much abundance would flow into your life if you weren't afraid to fail... Many of you have already thought about how your fear of failure blocks abundance... but changing still scares you. And maybe you haven't had the right tools to Clear Your Fear of Failure... until now. Let's start at the beginning. How do we get so afraid of failure that we won't try anything new? It takes time and training to learn how to be afraid of failing. In other words, we either learn the fear from someone in our family, we are taught that failing is terrible, (rather than just the world giving us feedback) or we have a negative experience and vow never to take a risk again... I invite you to imagine a life without this fear... imagine a life with eagerness about looking forward to new ideas and new chances to succeed... Imagine a life where trying something new feels exciting and optimistic, rather than dangerous or a recipe for failure. That's the problem - if you're afraid to fail, then you won't step out and try anything new, you'd rather play it safe and stay small. And while you may lose incredible opportunities to expand and change by living this way, at least you won't risk \"failing\" - whatever that means to you. If you Clear Your Fear of Failure, you will be present in your daily life more, enjoy trying new ideas out on others, and engage in new activities that could yield great results in your personal and professional life. Are you willing to try this clearing? (I understand that clearing the fear seems risky too - as you may fear you might fail clearing the fear of failing!) But it's worth it... imagine a life without all this fear and worry about what each experience brings... what a relief. We waste so much time trying to protect ourselves. When we are afraid of failing, we are forever avoiding conflicts, procrastinating, or making excuses as to why we \"can't\" do something. It's not that you feel as if you are missing valuable opportunities, it's that you don't see them as valuable to begin with -- you only see them as chances to fail instead of expand. So my invitation in this newsletter is for you to Clear Your Fear of Failure and enjoy a life of peace and calm as well as excitement and adventure... Did I go too far? Ok, forget the adventure part but at least enjoy the relief from the chronic fear and enjoy that not everything that is presented to you is an opportunity for failure! It may be easier to stay the way you are, but it's not going to give you a life of abundance. When we make the decision to Clear the Fear of Failure, we are making the decision that we want more success. When we want more success, the Universe hears us, and offers us more to be joyful about. Living in chronic fear is exhausting, and clearing this fear will give you so much more energy as well as so many more choices and opportunities for abundance and happiness. Remember that our thoughts are real and carry energy... Our vibration matters! The most important lesson I have learned from Law of Attraction teachers is that the Universe hears our vibration not our words. I also learned that we will receive more of what we are \"broadcasting\" to the Universe on an energetic basis. If you start raising your vibration by feeling optimistic, joyful, appreciative and grateful, abundance is sure to follow. When you Clear Your Fear of Failure, you will be offering a clear signal to the Universe that you want to attract abundance, even if it's not instantaneous and the journey has a few curves in the road. When the Universe is able to receive a clear signal or message from you - (no energetic interference from your attitudes) then the Law of Attraction starts to work in your favor. It's your choice... Clear Your Fear of Failure and enjoy the successes that start to flow into your life! Below you will find EFT setup phrases to help you be inspired to release your blocks to being able to attract what you want into your life. When you change your vibration,you will change your life. Go ahead, raise your vibration by choosing to Clear Your Fear of Failure! 1.

Before I start this article about unsupportive people, I would like to explain some important details to you. In this article you will see how uncompassionate and narrow minded some of these people are. Let’s start by describing the unsupportive person; this person can be male or female, old or young, educated or uneducated, live in any part of the world, and be of any race or religion. Now that pretty much describes anyone walking this planet, but you can point them out by their utter lack of compassion for others.r

Sex and Body Image The link between what a woman feels about her body and her sexuality is becoming clearer and clearer with each research study. It’s also been estimated that over 40% of women have some sort of sexual dysfunction. Can the two be connected? I believe that they are indeed. If you are constantly focused on how you look, and specifically what your body looks like to yourself and others then you can’t really let go and surrender into great sex. Great sex comes from a complex soup of feeling vulnerable, safe, connected, and present in the moment.

When I was severely ill with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), the one constant factor in my somewhat restricted life was the unequivocal support I was given by my parents and my husband. If I hadn't received their love and encouragement on a daily basis, I know the journey would have been far tougher and more desperate at times.
