Empowerment Updates from Tammy Hawksworth

Do you love candles but fear using them?

Do you want to create a romantic atmosphere?
Maybe you want to create a relaxing environment for meditation or a client treatment.

 

Look no further than flameless candles! Not only are they a great way to add ambiance to any room,or client service space, but they also come with a host of benefits that can help support yours or your clients mood and well-being.

Here are three benefits of flameless candles for mood support:

One of the primary benefits of flameless candles is that they create a calming atmosphere that can help soothe the mind and reduce stress levels. The soft glow of the candles can help promote relaxation, making them an excellent addition to any meditation or self-care routine.

Another benefit of flameless candles is that they provide a safe alternative to traditional candles. With flameless candles, you don't have to worry about accidentally knocking over a candle and starting a fire. This can give you peace of mind and allow you to fully relax without any added stress.

Flameless candles are also long-lasting and cost-effective. Unlike traditional candles that burn out quickly and need to be replaced often, flameless candles can last for hours on end. This makes them an excellent investment that can save you money in the long run.

So, whether you're looking to unwind after a long day at work, create a romantic atmosphere for a special occasion, or just add a touch of ambiance to your home, flameless candles are an excellent choice. With their calming effect, safety benefits, and cost-effectiveness, they are the perfect addition to any mood-boosting routine.
I added a set to our bedroom and found them perfect for low light and mood setting. I can turn them on once for a specific time and set the 2 hour timer and they turn on the same time each day for my specified time frame. I am still on my first set of batteries too and it has been months of use(Oct2022-March2023)!

Here are link to the sets I have. The first link has a real candle feel with a wax like coating on the outside, the second link is a bigger set and is plastic. Both are great!

So, go ahead and treat yourself to a few flameless candles today. Your mind and body will thank you for it!

Life can throw unexpected challenges our way, leaving us feeling overwhelmed, anxious, and stressed. In such times, it is crucial to have emotional release( let go) tools in our arsenal to help us move through these situations. These tools can help us process and gently let go of our emotional charge, providing us with a sense of relief and a clearer mind to deal with our problems and then see possible solutions.

One of the most effective emotional release tools is journaling. Writing down our thoughts and emotions can help us gain clarity about what we are feeling and why. It allows us to express ourselves freely without the fear of judgment, and we can look back at our writing later to track our progress. Journaling can help us identify patterns in our behavior, which can be useful in breaking unhealthy habits. I journal every morning. Sometime for just a few moments and other times for what feels like an hour.

Second is meditation. Meditation helps us calm our minds and focus on the present moment, allowing us to gain perspective on our situation. When we meditate, we can observe our thoughts and emotions without judgment, which can help us process them in a healthy way. Meditation can also help reduce stress and anxiety, making us more resilient to life's challenges. I typically do this before bed as a way to calm my busy mind.

Third, is using our sense of smell with a natural botanical. This tool may be new and unusual for you. However I invite you to experiment. I use a technique called Aroma Reset to quickly clear my emotional charge from a current frustrating or overwhelming situation so I can clearly see how to move through and stay calm.
If you are curious about this technique you can get my FREE script here.

Recently life threw some challenges my way. Hubby was in a vehicle accident-He is okay thankfully! Our vehicle -not so much! The insurance company decided to write it off. Typically this is a very fast process, you get your check and then search for your next vehicle. We have yet to receive our check a month post accident!
I am so grateful for these tools that are helping me stay calm and patient through this process.

In conclusion, emotional release tools can help us move through challenging life situations by providing us with healthy ways to process and let go our emotions. Whether it's through journaling, meditation, or Aroma Resets, finding what works for us can help us gain clarity, reduce stress, and feel more resilient.

Hi Friend,

So I have shared my week 2 takeaways in other ways and I am just realizing I did not share via my blog, so here it is!

When we can see our value from past experiences, we can make new choice for our current situations.

This is why I use and love AFT, because I can connect with my past situations that cause my emotional response and clear my emotional charge from my past situation in such an easy and gentle way that the next time I am in a similar situation, I no longer experience my same emotional response.
This is huge!

Another take a way is We have our ability to believe our future into existence. This is another powerful tool.
Do you or I even fully understand how powerful?

Our brain is not biased, it will bring into existence whatever we focus on. So a great question for asking then becomes, what am I focused on? and another, Is this what I choose to focus on?

I hope you are enjoying these ah ha moments and asking yourself these questions.
I am excited to hear of your experience as you answer them and share with me. You can do so in comments below

If you recognize you have a block in your way or a situation that causes an emotional response for you, you can book your personal AFT session here. 

Have fun with these take a ways!

I won 14 weeks of training with my favorite mentor and promised I would share my biggest takeaway from each week with you, so here is week 1!

Do you self sabotage?

Do you make excuses in your head not to do the thing you think you should be doing?
Do you avoid doing the thing?
Do you do anything and everything except the thing?

Well if you find yourself doing any of these, you may be in self sabotage. 

There are things you can do to get out of self sabotage and I am going to share the four things Ann suggests.

#1 Awareness : Oh look I am running a program here, and it keeps coming up
A great question to ask your self here is What Else Could Be True?

#2 Accepting: THis is my program, I created it or took it on from others, either way it is my program. Accepting it is my program, means I can change it. You will know this step is a challenge if you find yourself justifying or blaming.
A great question to ask here is What Am I Afraid Of? 
*This is also a great place for doing an Aroma Freedom Technique, you can schedule your session here if you would like help processing your old programs.

#3 Interrupt: This is where you create your new program, your new story, 
Ask yourself: What Do I Desire Instead? What Do I Choose instead?

#4 Be willing to change and Celebrate your Progress.
Taking conscious steps to move forward in your new story or program may take time and practice. Baby's don't walk instantly so stop expecting you to change instantly. Take those steps and celebrate your wins

One final tip in determining if a program is one to keep or upgrade: Ask Is my Program FOR ME or AGAINST ME?

I hope you enjoyed this week's insight.
What is your takeaway? What will you change?

Have a great day,

The holidays can be a difficult time for those who may not feel included or connected to their family, friends or community. This can be especially true for those who are far from home, have recently experienced a loss or major life change, or simply don't have a strong support system. 

However, there are ways to feel more included and connected during the holiday season. Consider some of the following ideas:

1. One way to feel more included is to reach out to others and connect with them. This can be as simple as calling a friend or family member, or attending a community event or gathering. 

2. You can also volunteer your time to help those in need, such as at a soup kitchen or food bank. This can not only help you feel more connected to others, but also provide a sense of purpose and fulfillment.

3. Another way to feel more included during the holidays is to create new traditions or rituals. This can be as simple as starting a new holiday movie night with friends, or cooking a special dish to share with loved ones. You can also try incorporating elements of your own culture or heritage into your holiday celebrations, such as by making traditional dishes or decorations.

4. It can also be helpful to set aside time for self-care and self-reflection during the holiday season. This can help you maintain a sense of balance and well-being, and prevent feelings of loneliness or isolation. This can include activities such as exercise, meditation, or simply taking some time to relax and unwind.
 
 5. Another fun thing to do, if cheer up others. Give random compliments, hold doors for people, Pass out candy canes, are just a few ideas.
 
 One year I had to work during my birthday. I chose to make my day one about giving rather than receiving. I knew the owner(family member) and made a plan with her to offer a free service to all clients for that service that day and I would cover the cost(which was agreed upon with owners). I had such fun telling clients their service was on m e today since it was my birthday. Many expressed such joy and I had a number leave me gifts or tips. In the end I had the most fun of all and best birthday ever, which is just two days before Christmas.

Overall, the key to feeling included during the holidays is to connect with others and engage in activities that bring meaning and fulfillment. Whether it's reaching out to loved ones, volunteering, creating new traditions, or practicing self-care, there are many ways to feel more included and connected during the holiday season.
 
Did any of these ideas resonate for you? If so, What will you choose to do?
