    So, before we can move forward and start on the really, really good stuff, we need to get an awareness of any icksville an un-lovely stuff that’s stopping us from moving forward… You don’t have to get too deep, this isn’t a counseling session, but you DO need to know what you’re working with in order to make any kind o’ progress with Viva La Sass…

    So, let’s do it, let’s get down and dirty.

    What’s the stuff that you’d just rather not talk about? The stuff that you’d rather just brush under the carpet – what’s holding you back? What’s stopping you from being the most awesome version of you that you can possibly be? Take a deep breath and really think about it – is it fear? do you think you don’t deserve good things to happen to you? Do you see yourself as an unlucky person? Do you blame circumstances like your upbringing for you not being successful? Would your life be better if you were prettier, slimmer, had more money, lived in a bigger and better house? Whatever the reason, the most important thing is to be honest with yourself…

    Okay so it’s time for Li’l miss Sass to ‘fess up – I may seem super-confident and ‘together’ – and for the most part, I absolutely am…but I have a very annoying voice in my head that likes to tell me on a near daily basis that I’m not worthy.
    I’m not worthy of a super-full bank account.
    I’m not worthy of a hot beau who loves and adores me.
    I’m not worthy of success.
    I’m not worthy of friends who would do absolutely anything for me.
    I’m not worthy of owning nice things.

    Now, when I let it, which despite everything I know, I’m sometimes inclined to do, it can really ruin my fun.
    It’s like a pesky downpour on a just-straightened ‘do. Now, I’m really aware that the ‘I’m not worthy’ label is just a story I tell myself, and I’m the only person who can change that story…(more about our ability to story tell later) It’s not an overnight thing, if it was, I’d flick the switch from ‘I’m not worthy’ to ‘I’m freakin’ fabulous and worthy of EVERYTHING I desire’ in nano seconds.
    ‘Cept it’s not as easy as that, but I am working on it – wanna know how?

    ♥ Each time I find myself pinning the ‘I’m not worthy’ label to my chest, I ask myself why.
    Not always right away, obv., I like a wallow as much as the next girl, but if a bar of Galaxy chocolate and an hour-long ‘poor me’ drama-queen-esque convo with one of my besties doesn’t cut it, I have to go deeper.
    What’s the connection? Is it something that was said to me as a kid? Usually.
    A flippant comment from a teacher, a boy in my class or a family member, can take me right back to being 8 again. Now, instead of letting that comment continue to have power, I have strted to delete them from the memory ipod in my brain and start downloading a new track in it’s place.

    For example, if you believe that you’re never going to have money in your bank account because you’re from a council estate and your fam have never had money, you need to acknowledge that particular story, know that it’s an outdated and no longer needed belief, delete it – a good way to do this is by writing it on paper and burning it to release it – then download a brand-spanking new one. Like – ‘I rock and I positively deserve prosperity and abundance’ – then, you need to keep re-playing the new one over and over on repeat as if it’s our favourite ever tune, ’til you actually start to believe it…

    Then, the next time the same issue comes up, because it undoubtedly will, dig around and find another comment that someone has made, or a story that you have made for yourself, and deal with it in exactly the same way…

    So Sassy Ones – it’s time to start acknowledging, deleting and downloading new tracks that will help us rock our awesomeness. I’d love for you to share, but what I really want is for you to start being honest with yourself… The New Moon is in Saggo, which is perfect-o for showing some guts, ditching your past and allowing you to move onwards and upwards with ease…Go for it, girls!

  1. I have a few recurring pesky thoughts that I’m sure are holding me back…one is about my love life – I’m convinced nobody will want me, and also that ‘men are rubbish’. As a result I’m attracting rubbish men and not many men seem interested! I think the men don’t fancy me thing comes from being a big girl – all you hear is how men don’t fancy big girls!

    Shutting that message out could be tricky! But I’m going to give it a really good shot as I’m really hoping 2011 is the year I get to meet a hot boy/man and have a lovely lovely time!

    The ‘men are rubbish’ seems to be the mantra of the women I know who’ve just been messed about repeatedly by boys all year! So many divorces, break ups and dating disasters! I guess I need to erase this and focus on the men in my life who I do adore, even if not in a boyfriend type way…instead of the losers who keep messing with me and my girlfriends’ hearts!
