•YOU DON’T NEED TO FAKE IT TO MAKE IT•
THE REAL YOU DOESN’T HAVE TO FAKE ANYTHING! By George Helou

That saying, ‘you can fake it ’till you make it’ is very popular and many people said they did do that.

The brain is gullible and I totally get how you can immerse it with an alternative message it thinks is fake, but eventually it takes it on as a reality. Hence if we are doubting our capability, we should be able to force the brain to experience the idea of succeeding and with experience of success, it will accept it.

This is incredibly difficult to do because we know we are conning ourselves while we try and it does not last long. it doesn’t last long enough to take effect so the strategy won’t deliver the results.

So if you are going to use the faking tool, make sure you feed the brain with some self belief around why it should cooperate. Self help books, observing mentors, getting motivated are all important things to do as you setup the fake it until you make it campaign.

There is another way.
What if you decided you would explore the fact that you are already being fake? Wait! Keep reading, I am taking you somewhere good! 🙂
What if any situation that has convinced you to be in an emotionally charged state of disbelief in relation to your worth and capability is built on absurd, blatant and cruel lies?

What I am trying to say is that it takes a lot of self deception to bend us out of shape so we are kept from our power, confidence and ability to bypass any obstacle.

If you use the questioning tool long enough, you can pry open the crazy crate of lies and realise how fake it has been to assume you are not amazing and powerful.

Trust me, you are amazing and powerful, and you are lying to yourself if you don’t believe me.

What can you do about it?
Ask yourself the question ‘why’ something is too difficult or beyond your ability to achieve it. For every answer you get question that answer with another ‘why’. Keep digging by asking why to every answer that keeps showing up.

Try to go at least 5 whys deep. Push even deeper until the answers get weaker and eventually sound down right pathetic.
What do you think will happen then? Perhaps the truth just may set you free; that you are amazing and powerful, held back by a bunch of lies that have tricked you into doubting that fact.

Please share your experiences and if you are stuck let me know, we can practice…

DISCOVERING THE REAL ME, AND IT’S GETTING VERY PERSONAL… By George Helou

I have been contemplating how I identify with myself and the image I hold habitually without even noticing anymore. I used to spend most of my energy holding an image I thought people would accept. While I have come a long way, it’s still a work in progress. Most of what we do stays hidden and it becomes an ongoing treasure hunt in getting to know yourself.

I used to be hyperconscious of my masculinity and feminine traits. Because I do have a soft demeanour in my style and I am a good communicator, people thought I was gay. Dressing well didn’t help! lol

So I went out of my way to push my personality to be more masculine. I did not want to behave in any way that was considered feminine. I was not gay then or am I now. That did not stop me wondering whether I was and that I had not realised it yet, given several people over the years thought I was. But no matter how I visualised it, my body refused the idea! So if I am gay, I am the last to know about it. Anyway, I have been contemplating why I do seem to have a strong feminine side to me and here are my conclusions.

I am very sensitive. There I said it! And I used to be ashamed of that. My senses are so heightened, that odours, sounds and colours impact me. This sensitivity is commonly found in females so this explained why I tried to hide this trait of mine. While I was sensitive as a child to criticism because of my low self esteem challenges, it has now become an incredible gift. Combining high self esteem, confidence and sensitivity is indeed empowering and rewarding.

I am not aware of my gender when I engage people deeply. I literally don’t think of myself as man or woman. I now accept this and embrace it for the perspective and experience it gives me.

I love being a man. I love the masculine energy and embrace it, but I no longer feel I can keep hanging onto it or the feminine energy as part of my identity. It’s as if I am enjoying being a man on every level but I am allowing myself to discover a state of being that transcends both. I am also learning to let my feminine energy be natural rather than suppressed. This is a work in progress because its so habitual. Writing this now is part of my effort to continue the progress.

I am becoming courageous. By virtue of writing this for the first time ever, I am realising that I am coming to deeper terms with honouring myself irrespective of people’s opinions, culture and society’s expectations.

I am not perfect and I am okay with that. I feel that I have arrived at a place within myself where I know I am loved. People criticising and judging has nothing to do with my worthiness. Feeling loved by the fabric of existence that eternally holds me together in a form I adore to the deepest depths of my being is a state I struggle to describe.

I have given myself full permission to love myself while I learn about how to be greater on a daily basis. I am finding it easier to accept rejection. I wish this feeling of inner security upon everyone.

Why am I sharing this with you? It feels incredible and whoever can relate to this, I would appreciate if you would consider sharing your journey. The more we share with our dear friends on the journey of deepening our connection with ourselves the more we can pave the path back into our true identity that exists beyond the labels of race, country of origin, gender, culture and personality traits.

This is the foundation for love between us all.
I sense something is unfolding that is big and I can’t put my finger on it yet, but the mystery and adventure is welling up within me. What a life!

LIFE AFTER TRAUMA

It may take a lot of time to get your emotions back together and heal your broken heart, but it’s all going to be okay.

As long as you’re alive, there will always be hope for good things to happen.

Don’t limit your life to this chapter. Don’t give up on yourself. Don’t stay where people left you. You’ve come a long way.

Take all the time you need to go through this pain, healing is a process.

And when you’re strong again and brave enough to start all over, go out there and create a beautiful life for yourself. You deserve it.

LISTEN

The world we live in has become increasingly full of clamour and noises - each voice competing to be the loudest in their attempts to sell their goods and take control of our experiences. Each claiming to detain monopoly of The truth and to have the right to authoritatively command and direct us or, to subliminally guide us on “The way”. Each asserting how and what we should feel and do.
How do your find your way when confronted with a barrage of injunctions and/or submerged by instructions and claims of knowing what is best for you?
Take a deep breath , shut out the commotion and LISTEN….
Deep down inside of you is a small still ‘voice’ which has always been with you and is full of the wisdom of ages. Allow yourself to detach from existing contexts and without any judgment or analysing, let yourself receive the information coming from within your own self.
Intuition is developed in various ways: deep breathing, meditation, candle watching or just by going mindfully through your daily activities. When cultivated being present with yourself you will find that answers arise, direction is given and wise counsel offered in each and every time of need.

My wishes for you all in 2022.💛

Wishing those who celebrate a very Happy Christmas 🎄🤶

EXHALE

There are times when you wake up with the weight of the world on your shoulders. In seasons of changes or great upheavals, whether it’s moving, settling a teenager in a new school, starting a new life as an empty nester, you might feel overwhelmed , crushed, anxious or hopeless. You may even forget to breathe, so intent are you on dragging your heaviness through the day in sleepwalking over protective mode.
In such moments just remember a simple thing: EXHALE..Breathe..Be still…Breathe in the light , open your heart to it, and breathe out the dark heaviness. Look to nature around you, so calm, so balanced, so still in the midst of chaos.
Your breath is life, the most precious gift bestowed to you by a loving Universe. Being in the now, mindful of your breath connects you to your intuition and sparks off your imagination. Those are essential navigation tools that help you be in your flow and fly rather than strive through your journey.
So if only for just now, take a deep breath in and exhale thus laying down your heavy burdens to feel the flutter back in your wings.
Steps 3 and 4 of the EP7 empowered for purpose program help you reacquaint with both intuition and imagination. Feel free to reach out to find out more..
