Halloween Customes Transform Energy

As a shy child I loved Halloween. I could dress
up and become a hobo, gypsy or pirate. Somehow,
the costume magically allowed me to relax and
be myself. I could play and act silly with others in
ways that I could not without the protection of
the costume.

Later, as a young therapist, I found another benefit
from dressing up in costumes. I was struggling
with giving up my "good girl" conditioning and my
talk therapist suggested that I go as a brat for
Halloween. This was brilliant.

I hated brats, did not want to have anything to do
with brats. I judged brats. To me, brats were bad
and that was that. So, of course, going as a brat would
help me give up my self righteous attitude toward
others and it would help me embrace my inner brat
which needed to be expressed.

So I did exactly what my therapist suggested. I threw
a huge party in my new house and dressed up like a
7 year old brat. What fun! All night long I was a brat
to everyone with absolutely no guilt. I had permission
to stop being so sweet, kind, polite and sugary.

I transformed my judgment into healthy expression
in a hurry.

What part of you are you rejecting and judging?

Find it, own it and have fun creating an outrageously,
creative costume-- just in time for Halloween.

Can't Reach Your Goals? De-fang Your Inner Critic

Emily Hanlon, best selling author says, "De-fanging the
Inner Critic is the first step in being able to finish your
writing project or book."

In truth, facing your Inner Critic is the first step in being
able to reach any goal or dream.

The Inner Critic is the major voice inside your head which
attacks you and stops you from moving forward. It can be
so strong that it paralyzes you and stops you dead. It is
these self judgmental thoughts which end up giving you
an anxiety attack or a panic attack.

In fact, if you listen to your attacking thoughts and believe
what they are saying to you, you could experience massive
self doubt and mental break downs.

Unfortunately, your Inner Critic does not go away if you take
medication or drugs. And positive thoughts are not strong
enough to overpower the forceful energy of your Inner Critic.

Nope. The only way to deal with your Inner Critic is head on
and face to face.

You have to meet your mental energy as an equal.

One of the best ways to deal with your Inner Critic is to write.
