Life's Toolbox On Empower Radio

Have you lost your hope or given up on your dreams? Reignite that hope and tune back into your dreams. All you need to manifest your hopes and dreams is found within you. On this show we chat about what leads to our release of hopes and dreams and the importance of bringing them back into our lives. We are solely responsible for our own hopes and dreams and have the ability and the resources necessary to embrace hope and nurture dreams again. Take responsibility for your own well-being, Keep Hope Alive.

Life’s Tool Box is all about teaching tools that can assist you in enhancing your experience of life. There are many other places to learn great life tools as well. If those tools are being left on the shelves to collect dust though, they will not serve you at all. These tools do not work unless we mindfully use them in our day to day lives. On this episode, we talk about the reasons we do not use our tools and how we can shift that behavior to one that works to elevate and expand our lives.

We often fall into the trap of reacting to life which allows life to change us. When we respond instead, we take actions that matter, actions that serve a higher purpose and actions that elevate life. Reacting is an ego based behavior while Responding is an essence based behavior. Tune in and find out the difference and how life shifts according to whether you react or respond. Which serves your highest good?

Have you built castles out of your fears and sleep behind them like a king or queen? We often hide behind the fear and claim to be safe and sound as we refuse to look beyond the walls. On this show we talk about what these perceived walls of safety and comfort actually do in our lives and chat about how authentic safety and comfort come from within. Release the limits of these fears and the walls and free yourself to live. Tear down the walls and live your life wide open.

Do you live your own life without worrying where others are in comparison to you? Are you focused on your path or are you looking around to see what is happening with others? Do you peak over your shoulder to see what everyone else is doing? Do you tune into what is going on around you as a way to validate your progress or placement? It is easy to fall into the behavior of comparing our lives with the lives of others. In doing so, we devalue our own path and struggle to stay on course. Listen in and hear how by foregoing comparison and judgment we allow flow and ease into our lives.

Have you ever felt that you just did not know what the next step for you could be? Have you had that feeling of being paralyzed for fear of what would happen with the next step? Have you ever been so stuck on the end results that the next step just seemed so important you could not risk a mistake? Then this is the show for you. We are talking about taking another step. We discuss the fears that pop up and prevent us from taking another step. We talk about what happens when we do not take a step and we chat about the importance of taking a step.

Do you consider your vibrations when manifesting in your life? Are you aware of how much your vibration affects your manifestation ability? The vibration resonating in and out of you is so impactful on the results of the law of attraction. We are talking about the benefit of activating good vibrations as a way to boost manifesting in your life. Jeannette Maw, our official “Manifesting Geek” joins the show to talk about ways to raise your vibration. Listen in and find out how you can enhance your manifestation and law of attraction abilities.

What does death mean to you? Is it an end or a beginning? Do you really experience a loss when someone near to you passes on? This show focuses on challenging the belief systems that tell us we experience loss when someone dies. We challenge the belief that death is the end of existence. On this show we talk about the never ending connection we have with our loved ones and how death is merely a transition into something new. It is our fear of change that creates the illusion of loss. Listen in as we discuss the truth around death, transition, passing on.

How often do you blame others or situations or even yourself for a life experience you are having? Do you feel that by blaming something you gain control and power? Blame steals our power and throws us into victim mode. Blame takes the focus away from accountability and creates a situation where solutions and openness are rare if possible at all. Blame is a misguided effort to move away from pain and anger. Blame Nothing is a tool that reminds us to release blame and take responsibility for our reactions and actions. When we are one hundred percent accountable for how we perceive things, we regain control in our lives; we open ourselves to greater opportunities and live from a place of love and flow.

Do your thoughts expand and elevate your life or contract it? Are your beliefs serving your highest good or holding you back? Does the position you take on a topic elevate your life or limit it? On this show we are talking burdens. We collect burdens in many ways and even our beliefs, thoughts and the positions we take can become burdens to us. We limit our life experience by holding on tightly to the burdens we carry. Awareness of our burdens allows us to release them and to fully experience all that this life has to offer. Listen in and find out how burdens limit our life experience and how to let them go.

Do you love the person you are right now? Do you even understand who that really is? Is that love unconditional? Do you love you no matter what? How cool would it be to understand, accept and love who you really are? Loving you on the heart level; loving the pure authentic self that resides within is a gift you can accept that can never be taken away from you. This is a gift that as it radiates within you it radiates out into the world. The more love you have for your authentic self the more love you have for all around you, the people, the places and the things. Love your authentic self fully and completely. You are so worthy of this amazing gift.

Does it seem that the world is becoming much more frightening lately? Does it feel like everywhere you turn that is more bad news, catastrophe, anger and hate? Do you feel that you have been pulled into emotional quicksand where the harder you try to get back to a positive place the deeper you get pulled into the negative darkness? Finding ourselves wrapped in the negativity of the world does not mean the world is becoming a more wicked and frightening place; it simply means we are focusing on the frightening things of the world. It means we are focused on the perceived negativity. It means that we have fallen into judgment mode and are thriving there. Join the conversation as we talk about refocusing our attention and shifting to the positive side of things. When we refocus we find love and peace in any situation. We expand and elevate our experience of every situation and in doing that we influence our world.

How do you define Kindness? What does it mean to be kind? Kind can be an act, a state of being, a description of something or someone. Kind can be so many things and we still see so much in our world that pushes kindness into the shadows. We know how powerful kindness truly is by the way people rise up and share and express kindness during times of sorrow and horrific events. The question is, why wait for bad times to bring out the kindness? The tool for today’s show is Kindness matters and my guest is Karen Auld. We are talking about what kindness really is, what it means and how to bring kindness into everyday life.

Do you think of yourself as creative? Are you creating the life you live? Are you creating the life you desire? The answer to the first two questions yes. We all are competent creators and we really do create the life we live. We create every moment of everyday. In each moment we actually create how we perceive the moment and that creation in turn creates another experience and the cycle goes on and on. Most of us limit how we use this beautiful and extraordinary gift. If you are not living the life you desire, the life that brings you continuous joy, the life that empowers you to grow and expand, then you can create differently beginning right now. Listen in as we chat about “Getting Your Creative Mojo On.”

The busy-ness of our lives can easily build-up causing us to feel overcome by a dark storm; the storm of overwhelm. Little by little things add up until we are surrounded by emotional darkness and mental cloudiness. The build-up can sometimes be sneaky and sometimes it just steamrolls its way into our lives. Either way, if left unattended, our emotional well-being suffers and a way out is difficult to see.

The concept and practice of “thoughts create reality” has been around since the beginning of time. Each and every one of us has proven its power throughout our lives. Most of us, though, are not mindfully tuning into our thoughts so they run in the background leaving our life at the mercy of chance. There is a way to redirect your thinking and on this show we dive in and talk about manifesting the life of your desires. Listen in as we talk about taking control of your thoughts and building a thinking practice that serves your highest good.

This tool is all about choosing the life you live. All too often we fall into the “Wag The Dog” patterns and forget we have a say in our own life. And others of us want to hold complete control over every tiny aspect of our lives which means we have to control others as well. Some people have moments of both in different areas of their lives. They seem to have full and complete control in one area while flailing away in other areas. This is not an all or nothing kind of thing. On this show we are talking about how to find a balance between the two. Go with the flow so that you can see new opportunities and enjoy all that life has to offer while trusting yourself to know when control is needed.

Do you ever feel that you sometimes have landed in a dark place; not necessarily a bad place just a place where things seem off? Change can often be the culprit. Sometimes we find ourselves wanting change but just do not know how to make it happen. Sometimes we just want to add something to our lives but are just unsure of what that is and of course that too is change. Sometimes life throws change at us in the form of loss of a loved one or divorce or moving. Anyway you look at it, change requires vulnerability and that can cause fear and the resistance to any of these leads to darkness. Instead of fighting, try embracing the change, vulnerability and fear. On this show, we chat about breaking out of the darkness and moving into the light of your truth.

Imagine for a moment how it would feel to live a life of pure joy and contentment. Imagine living a life that you chose. What would that life would be for you? Does your life reflect these images? Are you living this life now? What prevents you from living in full joy right this moment? Our tool for the day is “Expect Better” and on this show we are talking about two keys. One is the key that keeps us locked away from living joyfully and the other is the key we all can use to live a purely joy-filled life. Expect Better in your life.

Imagine for a moment having the ability to take your self esteem to a more enlightened level; a place where you can confidently and lovingly share the real you with the world. How would you feel about yourself? Are you living that truth daily? Our guest today is Pam Thomas.
