FINDING EMPOWERMENT THROUGH INSPIRATION

 

I always feel the best way to find inspiration is to look at those around us in day to day life to achieve the the best in our lives. Many of us look at our parents for inspiration, others look further away from home, such as Pop Stars and Celebrities, to inspire us through our lives. For many of us we lack inspiration in life, but its good to have a role model to look at in life to help us through for Empowerment. I know for me, my inspiration is Micheal Buble, because this is a guy that came from a poor family in Canada and didnt want much in life but to sing because of the love of Swing and Jazz music. His Grandfather would strike deals at hotels to do plumbing for free on the exchange that Micheal could sing at there wedding fuctions. This soon got him noticed for his talent and he soon got picked up on as one day he performed for the Presidents daughter at a wedding fuction he happened to be singing at. The President had connection with the main radio station of the city, in which he put a kind word in for Micheal.

Well one thing led to another and Micheal`s first album went platinium across Canada and America. He then got a band together and hit New York where he played the Blue Note cafe for ten days. Now, for Micheal this was a dream come true for this is where his idols had proformed i.e  Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, and many more great artists of that time that inspired him to got get to where he is today.

Well the rest is history, for Micheal is a sell out world wide now just for looking up to the great singers of old and finding inspiration in them to do what he does today. Now thats the power of Inspiration. So every time I get ready to come into the studio and work or even work the platform doing my Mediumship I think of Micheal Bubl`e as i slip into my suit and adjust my tie ready to help you through my work. So inspiration does work; for without the likes of  Micheal bubl`e and the Colin frys of this world I would not be where I am today. So if you have no scope in life than maybe just maybe there is somebody in your life you can turn too for Inspiration and Empowerment?.

I would love to know your views on Inspiration and how its helped you through life

Love and Light Grant Colyer

PROCRASTINATION 

Are you finding it difficult to motivate yourself right now?  Do you feel your life is in limbo?  Are you frustrated because you can’t seem to move your life forward? What things are you putting off – either hoping they will go away if you ignore them or convincing yourself  that they aren’t urgent and you can do them another day?  

There are various reasons as to why we procrastinate, so instead of getting frustrated with yourself, dig a little deeper to find out why you’re procrastinating – you may be pleasantly surprised how easy it can be to stop this cycle and move forward into being an achiever! 

There’s nothing worse than having things having over our head that we need to do – it drains your energy, makes you feel heavy and creates stress and bad feeling. 

On today’s show I will be looking into your individual reasons as to why you are procrastinating and then giving you things to do to clear the blocks.  At the desk I will be diagnosing WHY you are procrastinating and then when I go to the phones we will have a more in-depth chat and I will give you the solutions as to how to clear those blocks.  So have pen and paper ready to take note of all I say to you and let’s get going! 

In the meantime, here are some of the reasons for procrastination – which ones can you relate to? 

Fear 

A fear of failure is the most common reason for not facing challenges head on.  We can also fear success however, as when we achieve success change usually follows – for example, our relationships with others & the way we live may have to change if we achieve that success.   

We can also spend a long time in our comfort zone (whether that’s being in a long term relationship or long term career) and get caught up in the ‘’better the devil you know’’ scenario, where we feel it’s better to stick with what we know (even if we aren’t happy) because the unknown is far more scary. 

A Lack of Self Confidence/Self Esteem 

Persistent ‘negative’ thought patterns created from our past experiences can affect how we react to challenging situations in the present.  For example, a few common disempowering thought patterns I see a lot of are:  ‘’I’m not good enough’’, ‘’I don’t think I can do that’’, ‘’I’m not intelligent enough’’ ‘’I always fail’’, ‘’It’s too hard’’. ..  

It may well be that someone has been putting you down over a long period of time, so much so that you now believe you are stupid or that you’re not beautiful/fun/interesting enough.   

Do you always worry what other people may think of you? 

Do you do what you think other people expect of you rather than doing what you want to do?  

Perfectionist 

Because you don’t have time to do a job properly, you never begin it.  Or if you do manage to begin it, you will never finish it because it will never be good enough! 
 
 

Can’t Be Bothered

 

Boring tasks like sorting out your accounts, insurance and bills can make you feel you can’t be bothered.  We will usually make up an excuse of being too tired, or you just have to watch a programme on TV or phone a friend first and of course after that TV programme has finished or after you’ve spoken to your friend another excuse pops up and you never get around to it!  Without realising it, these small things then begin to form huge black clouds that hover over your head causing stress and tiredness.  Why do we put these small tasks off when we know that it will probably only take a few minutes to do!?

ON A NETWORKING SITE I AM ON AT THE MOMENT IT IS FASHIONABLE TO SEND PEOPLE GREETING CARDS TO YOUR FRIENDS AND AS I HAVE ABOUT 1,500 FRIENDS YOU CAN IMAGINE THE AMOUNT OF CARDS I GET EVERYDAY, AND I HAVE TO DELETE THEM NOT BECAUSE I DONT LIKE THEM ITS BECAUSE IT BLOCKS OUT THE IMPORTANT MESSAGES I AM TRYING TO SEND TO EVERYBODY VIA MY PROFILE PAGE WHICH THEY APPEAR ON . WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU TRYING TO GET AT KATIE, WELL MOST OF THESE MESSAGES ARE SENT TO THIS PERSON’S FRIENDS ON A BLOCK BASIS, MEANING EVERYBODY ON THEIR FRIENDS LIST BECAUSE IT IS SIMPLY EASIER TO SEND THEM TO EVERYBODY THAN TO TYPE IN ONE OR TWO REALLY CLOSE FRIENDS THAT THIS CUTE GREETING CARD WOULD BE APPLICABLE TO.  I THINK THAT IT IS A GOOD IDEA TO SPREAD THE LOVE IN THIS WORLD, BUT WE NEED TO MEAN IT AND NOT BE SUPERFICIAL ABOUT IT. WHEN I AM IN A SHOP I KNOW HOW IT FEELS TO BE BEHIND THE COUNTER AND I LIKE TO SHOW HOW IM GRATEFUL FOR THEIR HELP AND TO ANYBODY WHO HELPS ME, SO I VALIDATE AND SHOW THANKS 365 DAYS OF THE YEAR. THIS MORNING I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW YOUR THOUGHTS ON THIS MORNINGS BLOG, AND WHAT ARE YOU GRATEFUL FOR.

I AM GRATEFUL FOR MY THREE WONDERFUL CHILDREN, MY PARTNER GRANT COLYER, MY FRIENDS AND YES THAT INCLUDES YOU SHARON, MY GODCHILDREN, MOLLY AND ALFIE, MY DOGS, ROONEY, MY REDSETTER, HONEY, MY GOBBY RETRIEVER,  MY PATH IN LIFE AS THE HUMANITARIAN AND MY JOB AND COLLEAGUES AT PSYCHIC INTERACTIVE, AND OF COURSE THE VIEWERS WHO WITHOUT WE WOULDN’T HAVE A SHOW.

BLESSINGS
