Becoming a DIVA!
Living an exhausted life is no fun. There is no room for fun and then one day you wake up no longer sure of how fun even works…
We are a nation of exhausted women. So many exhausted, boring and unhappy women. We don’t get enough sleep, don’t eat the right food, have lost the art of being curious, have no time to wonder or wander and are too tired to make an effort, gather some support and change the way we live. And our unhappiness is contagious! We start to affect the people around us - unhappy partners, unhappy children. Our children want us to have lots of energy and have lots of fun. Our partners want us to be happy, sexy and interesting.
No one wants to live with dull, boring & unhappy people.
But what do you do? Where do you start?
Energy is the first key. Without energy, you have nothing. Zip, zilch, nada. The three main things that contribute to our energy are nutrition (what we eat and drink), sleep (how much and how often) and people (boundaries & selection). We often underestimate the power that people have on our energy. We expand and contract depending on who we are with and how they make us feel.
Imagine being someone asking you how you are and being able to respond with ‘dynamic’! “I am dynamic!” Dynamic is defined as ‘positive in attitude and full of energy and new ideas” - how good would that feel? It's possible but as well as energy it takes, strength & courage. I use the word DIVA as an acronym for everything most of us want to be. Dynamic, Interesting, Vibrant & Assertive:
Dynamic means that you are a dynamo.
I was once called a human Berocca! I have always had high energy. Very simple. I do what I love - instant emotional energy. I am self-employed which means that I can choose who and when I work. (Being told what to do has always lowered my energy and mood!)
Interesting means that you get excited about stuff.
That you do stuff that you enjoy. What do you do that when you're doing it, you totally lose track of time? We are born with little lights inside us but we turn them off or we get busy and stop noticing them. Think about your five favourite things to do: Mine are dancing, cooking, movies, spending time with my animals & making things with my hot glue gun!
Vibrant is about being colourful and being lit from within.
How high is your vibration? Are you up one minute and down the next? The frequency we vibrate is all about the energy that we absorb. Hanging out with dull, negative people, eating crap food and absorbing people's stress and problems will lower your vibe. Wear colour. Eat colour. Lift your vibration!
Assertive is about working out your personal laws:
What are your bottom lines? We are all raised on a diet of other people's ideas - Being assertive is a muscle that gets stronger. Learning to speak up, to speak your truth. In order to claim your personal power, you need to decide what you will and will not tolerate.
Make a commitment to turn yourself into a DIVA!
Wear colour.
Eat colour.
Do things you love.
Surround yourself with good people.
Speak up.
Take your power back.
Get in charge of your life!
