So… Is Your Higher Self the Same as Source?

By The Artful Woman
  Not exactly. Think of it like this: Source is the origin —pure consciousness, God/Goddess/Divine Light, whatever you want to call it. It’s the everything-and-nothing energy from which all things come. Your Higher Self is your personal bridge to Source. It’s your soul in its purest form , untainted by fear, ego, or human distortion. Your Higher Self is you , just on the zoomed-out level —the version of you that remembers the full story, all lifetimes, all lessons, all missions. So: Source is the sun. Your Higher Self is the sunbeam that still holds its essence but is uniquely you . Is Your Higher Self Your Soul? Pretty much— but here's the nuance: Your soul is eternal. It’s the part of you that has lived countless lives. Your Higher Self is like the fully awakened version of your soul —the one not currently squeezed into a human body trying to pay bills and avoid family drama. When you're in human form, you're kind of like the tip of the i...

Image
By The Artful Woman

 


By cultivating a positive mindset, practicing mindfulness and meditation, and trusting your intuition, you can create a more fulfilling and aligned life.

1. Mindset:

Foundation: Your mindset is the fundamental set of beliefs and assumptions you hold about yourself, the world, and your capabilities.

A growth mindset encourages continuous learning and personal development. 

Examples:

Growth Mindset: Believes abilities and intelligence can be developed through effort and learning. This mindset fosters resilience, a willingness to learn from mistakes, and a focus on continuous improvement.

Fixed Mindset: Believes abilities and intelligence are innate and unchangeable. This mindset can limit growth, increase fear of failure, and hinder personal development.

Impact: Your mindset significantly influences your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. A growth mindset empowers you to embrace challenges, pursue goals with determination, and persevere through setbacks.


2. Law of Attraction:

Core Belief: This principle suggests that like attracts like – your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs attract corresponding experiences into your life.

The importance of taking inspired action alongside visualization and affirmations. 

Key Concepts:

Focus on Positivity: Cultivating positive thoughts, emotions, and vibrations.

Visualization: Imagining and visualizing desired outcomes as if they have already been achieved.

Gratitude: Expressing appreciation for the good things in your life.

Intention Setting: Clearly defining your goals and desires.

Note: The Law of Attraction is a philosophical concept and its effectiveness is a matter of personal belief.


3. Meditation

Practice: Training the mind to focus on a single point, such as the breath or a mantra, to achieve a state of mental clarity and emotional calmness.

Benefits:

Reduces stress and anxiety.

Improves focus and concentration.

Increases self-awareness.

Cultivates emotional regulation.

Can enhance intuition and creativity.


4. Positive Thinking

Focus: Cultivating optimistic thoughts and beliefs about yourself and the world.

Key Aspects:

Challenging negative thoughts and reframing them in a more positive light.

Focusing on solutions and possibilities instead of dwelling on problems.

Practicing gratitude and appreciation for the good things in your life.

Benefits:

Can improve mood, reduce stress, and enhance overall well-being.


5. Intuition

Inner Knowing: A subtle sense or feeling that provides guidance without conscious reasoning. It's an inner voice or gut feeling.

Developing Intuition:

Mindfulness practices can help quiet the mind and create space for intuitive insights to emerge.

Spending time in nature, journaling, and engaging in creative activities can also enhance intuition.

Developing intuition often involves quieting the mind, observing your inner sensations, and trusting your gut feelings. 

Trusting your inner voice and paying attention to your gut feelings.


6. Mindfulness

Present Moment Awareness: The practice of paying attention to the present moment without judgment.

Benefits:

Reduces stress and anxiety.

Increases self-awareness and emotional regulation.

Improves focus and concentration.

Cultivates a deeper appreciation for the present moment.


7. Manifesting

The process: Bringing your desires into reality through the power of thought, belief, and intention. It's a key component of the Law of Attraction. 

Manifestation Techniques: 

Visualization: Vividly imagining your desires as if they have already been achieved.

Affirmations: Repeating positive statements about yourself and your goals.

Gratitude: Expressing appreciation for the good things in your life.

Taking Inspired Action: Taking steps toward your goals while maintaining a positive and receptive mindset.

Important Note:

Manifestation is a journey, not a destination.

It requires consistent effort, patience, and a willingness to trust the process.

It's important to remember that while you can influence your reality, external factors and unforeseen circumstances can also play a role.


Interconnections:

Mindset: A growth mindset is crucial for effectively utilizing the Law of Attraction and trusting your intuition.

Meditation: Can help quiet the mind, allowing for clearer intuition and deeper connection to inner wisdom.

Positive Thinking: Cultivating positive thoughts aligns with the Law of Attraction and can enhance your ability to receive and trust intuitive guidance.

Intuition: Can provide valuable insights that can inform your goals and intentions, aligning your actions with the Law of Attraction.

Mindfulness: Brings awareness to your current thoughts and feelings, allowing you to observe them without judgment and make conscious choices that align with your values and intentions.

Important Note:

While positive thinking and mindfulness can have significant benefits, it's crucial to remember that these are not guarantees of success or happiness.

It's important to be kind to yourself and acknowledge that negative thoughts and emotions are a natural part of the human experience.

Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills

By The Artful Woman
Why Your Coach’s Character Matters Just as Much as Their Skills I recently had an eye-opening experience with someone I had followed and admired for her grit and tenacity. Like me, she took a leap, leaving the career she trained for to turn her passion into a business. As a marketing coach, she built her brand during COVID, mastering skills I hadn’t focused on because I was healing from a stroke. Now that I’m back, I’ve been exploring what’s new in the field, and I was excited to see her “no fluff” approach to success. In our profession, it’s common for coaches to talk about mindset and resilience. To “walk the walk” and “talk the talk” are mantras we’re all familiar with, and as both a life and transformational coach, these principles are everything to me. For my clients, unshakable tenacity is part of what I bring to the table every day, and I admired that she seemed to embody this too—or so I thought. She scheduled a training right after the recent election, which I thought showed t...
