When I had Rebecca Zung on my TV Show “I HAVE TODAY with Diane Forster” (watch here), she and I talked about the importance of empowering yourself with knowledge when it comes to protecting yourself legally.  We also talked about our own transformations and how many decisions needed to be made.

One thing is for certain:  Feelings of LOW SELF-WORTH can COST YOU!!!  You need to have a strong support system around you.  When I was going through my own transition out of marriage, it was my therapist and my coach that helped me through the divorce process.

In a marriage or divorce, in a business relationship or partnership, or in any situation where you have legal and moral rights, it’s important to know your worth!  Here are three ways to help empower you when it comes to legal matters.

1. INVEST in Yourself! 

I can’t tell you how many times I hear the words, “I can’t afford that” or “that’s for other people and not me.”  Why do people spend money on so many other things, yet they refuse to INVEST in what’s best for them???  Please GET HELP!  The right coach, mentor, attorney, a therapist can help SAVE you so much!  So much time, money, energy, aggravation, stress.  The list goes on and on!  As someone who is a coach/consultant now and believes in it, I personally have three coaches and know the VALUE they bring to my life.  I could never do this alone.  Neither can you!  If you could, you would!!!

2. Honor YOUR Feelings!

As Rebecca stated on the show, the first part of her book focuses on the emotional piece of divorce.  With all the work I do with my clients, I focus on MINDSET first.  If you don’t take care of that piece first, you struggle so much!  It’s so important to honor your feelings and process through them with awareness, acceptance, and acknowledgment of them.  Once you do that, you can move through them so much more quickly!

3. Even If It’s Painful, There’s a Purpose In It!

There’s a “gift” in everything.  That used to be a foreign concept to me, but now I understand it so clearly.  Every painful situation you’ve ever experienced was there to teach you something.  Maybe the lesson you learned was how to stand up for yourself, or how to be more discriminating of certain characteristics, or a greater clarity about what your values and morals are, etc.  Trust me when I tell you, there IS a gift in everything.  You just need to be willing to LOOK for it and take it in.  My purpose was defined by my painful situation.  What a gift that’s been for me!!!  Can you identify purposeful gifts from your own pain?

Rebecca and I are similar in so many ways, including wanting to positively impact the world with our work and our messages.  I’m grateful for her friendship and her work.  I now consider her a part of my tribe and team.  If you need legal help regarding your divorce, she is the GO TO person, for sure!

Affirmation Statement:

“I HAVE TODAY…to transform my life!”

With Love,

Diane

Quote: “I‘ve learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you. The journey is valuable, but believing in your talents, your abilities, and your self-worth can empower you to walk down an even brighter path. Transforming fear into freedom – how great is that?” ~ Soledad O’Brien

How to Empower Yourself Legally and Transform Your LifeRead More

Painful experiences from your past can have a ripple effect on how you “show up” in your life.

I recently interviewed JuliAnn Stitick, Personal Brand Expert, on my show, “I Have Today with Diane Forster.”  JuliAnn is one of those women that is completely put together and always looks perfect.  That was not always the way.  After overcoming childhood molestation, she practiced forgiveness as her means to take back her power.  Now, she works with predominantly female entrepreneurs to bring out their best, their purpose and allow them to be seen as the radiant women they are.

Any time I’ve ever felt “less than” in my life, it was because I was giving my power away to someone else.  Here’s what the reality is…when you give your power away to someone else because of feelings of self-doubt, the other person is having feelings of self-doubt, too.  They’re just projecting them in a dominant, controlling way because that’s what they need to do to feel powerful.  As hard as that may seem to be, that is what’s happening.  It’s a yin-yang, push-pull, dominant-subservient dynamic, but the underlying emotion is feelings of self-doubt.

I’ve written before about how to get out of your own way.  Now, let’s take that a bit further.  If you want to learn how to get over your self-doubt and learn how to be seen, let’s look at three ways to create more awareness.

1. Realize You Are Not Alone

Everyone has feelings of self-doubt.  There’s comfort in knowing that.  We all have times when we feel less confident than other times.  Remember that fact the next time you feel like you are the only one in the world who might be feeling doubtful about yourself.

2. Power Poses and Mantras Help Boost Confidence

It may seem crazy, but power poses and power mantras help boost your confidence and get you over feelings of self-doubt.  Before you enter any situation where you may be feeling uneasy or apprehensive, do something first to boost you!  Do the “Wonder Woman” pose, or say a mantra such as “Why Am I So Confident and Empowered?”  You can also watch or listen to something uplifting or motivational that will lift your self-confidence.  My go-to power tool is that I always say to myself before entering any situation, “I am the biggest, brightest energy in the room.”  That is a powerful mantra, and it has served me so well in so many situations.  It has contributed to many amazing manifestations in my life.  Try it for yourself!

3. Put Your Focus on Others and Take It Away from You

One of the quickest ways to get rid of feelings of self-doubt is to show up for someone else.  When you move the attention away from you and focus on helping someone else, you immediately feel better, more confident, more powerful, and you’re seen by that person as someone they can trust and open up to.  That is one of the best feelings in the world!  So, remove the focus from you and put it on someone else.

You are meant to be seen.  You’re meant to be seen, heard, appreciated and acknowledged.  You have gifts and talents that no one else possesses.  But, if you hide behind a veil of self-doubt, we can’t see them and appreciate them.  It’s time to step into the limelight of your greatness.

Affirmation Statement:

I HAVE TODAY…to overcome my feelings of self-doubt and shine bright like I’m meant to!

With Love,

Diane

Quote:  “Turning pro is a mindset. If we are struggling with fear, self-sabotage, procrastination, self-doubt, etc., the problem is, we’re thinking like amateurs. Amateurs don’t show up. Amateurs crap out. Amateurs let adversity defeat them. The pro thinks differently. He shows up, he does his work, he keeps on truckin’, no matter what.” – Steven Pressfield
