I heard the message for my upcoming book in every speaker: Authentic Connections \u2013 Surrendering Criticism, and Judgment, and I felt that deep commitment pushing me forward to get my book out into the world. A glimpse of the energy that rocked my world:<\/p>\n<p>Ellen \u2013 Be authentic. Don\u2019t be a bird in a cage trapped with the fear of what others will think. Be who you really are. People may respond with their own fears, but you will be free. And you will free others. See the humour in every day life: Why do people taste something terrible, and then say \u2018here \u2013 try this, see if it tastes like crap.\u2019<\/p>\n<p>Leigh Anne Tuohy \u2013 Inspirational. How can I be a giver of hope, love, and opportunity? I can make a difference by turning around, and looking behind the curtain. You would be amazed at the view. There are so many in need who slip between the cracks. Why wait for the holidays? Make life a celebration of giving every day.<\/p>\n<p>Loretta LaRoche \u2013 If you don\u2019t have a sense of humour, you\u2019re screwed. There\u2019s a misery index, and it\u2019s climbing. We are always trying to make things look like they are not. Spanx. When you take them off, the illusion is over. Take responsibility: I\u2019m fat because I ate too much. No one is injecting you with food in your sleep. Guilt \u2013 the thing that keeps on giving. How many of you think you are the Director of the Universe? Go ahead, exhaust yourself, die early. Stop catastrophizing, and awfulizing. Get off the Cross! Start thinking about what you are thinking about. We are fueled with irrational thoughts that we believe. Be in gratitude..wake up and exclaim I\u2018m BACK (I didn\u2019t die)!<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor \u2013 We are made up of 50 trillion molecular geniuses. Imagine if your left brain disappeared, and you could eliminate your entire life\u2019s baggage? You don\u2019t even know who you are mad at anymore. You experience total peace; Nirvana when only your right brain functions. Our left brain would rather be right than be happy because this is where our inner critic, and judgment lives. Our right brain would rather be happy than be right. This is the essence of my book: How to let go of being right because authenticity happens here!! It takes 90 seconds to process a thought that makes you angry and for it to be flushed out of your system. Any longer, and you are using your conscious mind to choose and hold negative thoughts. You can jump into your right brain circuitry (peace) or left brain circuitry (judgment). Only tiny part of the left brain is responsible for judgment \u2013 you need to practice disciplining your cells. Tend to the garden of your mind. Limit whining. Gratitude teaches our cells to be healthy. You have this power \u2013 use it.<\/p>\n<p>Suzanne Somers \u2013 Hormones are the juice of life. When menopause arrived, she had 7 visitors: itchy, bitchy, sweaty, bloated, sleepy, forgetful, and all dried up. It\u2019s likely why so many marriages end at this time. Estrogen deficiency. Hormones are not dangerous. Need correct dosage, and not synthetic hormones. Your quality of life at this age can be completely amazing, including a fabulous sex life!! We have a chemicals assault in our world today. Cancer in children. Babies born with toxins. Pay attention to cleaners, foods, everything we touch, breathe, and digest. Take antioxidants.<\/p>\n<p>Me: Take time to invest your energy in the company of others who are up to great things. The human connection cannot be replaced. And it\u2019s the most fun way to way to learn. &#8220;That&#8217;s Amore..&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>That&#8217;s what I learnt in the Power of Women Event Canada 2011.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday I listened to some amazing speakers along with 6,500 women in the Power of Women Event.
