In this last exercise, you wrote down what you wanted to learn. In this exercise, you will start to create a strategy to understand what you want to know. Then, you have to put your knowledge to work.

You have your list of what you want to learn, and you have the thoughts and emotions attached to these items. Now is the time to write out your action plan of how you will acquire this knowledge. As you do this, pay close attention to the feelings that are surfacing in you. If this makes you excited, continue with this exercise. If this brings up anxious feelings or self-doubt, you need to stop right here and do some thought work. Energy can not flow when negativity is present. Below I will show you what steps you need to go through to break through these negative beliefs.

• On a piece of paper, write down all that you are struggling with. What are the obstacles that keep going through your mind? Try to focus on every thought that is holding you back.
• Start at the top of the list and ask yourself if what you wrote down is true. Our minds are very imaginative; we often start to believe things that are not true about ourselves and others. So ask your self "Is this true, or is my mind trying to protect me and trying to make this feel true?"
• Work through each of your concerns. Pay close attention as you start to release these negative beliefs. Feel your power within you begin to be restored. Through this process, you are beginning to empower yourself.

Our subconscious minds are very powerful. They will do all they can to keep us safe. If different thoughts begin to surface, you might need to do this a few times. Thinking of something that will cause change, disruption or pain, causes our subconscious mind to put up many red flags. Remember, this is normal! Continue with your thought work and work your way into your subconscious mind. As you continue to do this, your subconscious mind will begin to look at a new thought pattern, and this thought program will become the new norm.

You have won the battle of change, and you have learned to "Empower" yourself.

In your following email, we will be discussing not only empowering ourselves but Empowering others. Remember, you were created for greatness. You have a great gift to share with others.
