I  had just left my profession in advertising after 15 years. Having no idea what I was going to do with myself, and my self-confidence being at an all-time low, I decided to flee to an old farmhouse out in the county to get away from it all.

Mind you, I wasn’t independently wealthy, and was on a very limited budget. Some people go to rest homes or recovery programs, I decided to hibernate.

My earlier training instilled me with the belief that I had what it takes to be happy and successful. But  nothing seemed to motivate me anymore but fear.

Whatever chutzpah I had was gone.

After being diagnosed with depression, I felt even more like a slug.

Nothing seemed to help. I tried exercise, nutritional supplements, therapy, diets, prescription anti-depressants and hormones.

I read tons of metaphysical and self- help books. I had said, written, and listened to affirmations until I was blue in the face. I am a Reiki Master, but that method of connecting with energy didn’t seem to help me at my time of need.

What happened to me?

My self-esteem had died.

Losing your self-esteem can throw you for a  major loop. My last job helped put the final nail in the coffin of my self-esteem. If you’ve ever been in an abusive work situation,you know what I mean. My self-esteem seemed dead and buried.

Miraculously, I now have energy again! I am excited about my life.

My dreams are becoming a reality as you read this. I know I have great worth. And I know I can accomplish great things.

My self-esteem came back to life.

How did I cross the gap from being clinically depressed, chronically  fatigued, and having the self-esteem of a worm to enjoying life and increasing my energy and personal power?

The first thing I did was make a decision that I was going to come back, no matter what.

Did that mean my life changed overnight? No.

In fact, things got worse before they got better. It is like pouring fresh water into a soapy glass. All the suds rise to the top before the water becomes clear again.

And it wasn’t easy for me to make a decision and stick with it. My picture was next to the word “fickle” in the dictionary. But I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. And I knew we were all part of this vast and wonderful Universe. Power was available to me if  I could find a way to plug into it.

In my quest for finding something…anything that would help me … I stumbled across a technique for connecting with energy that was simple and made sense. No mumbo jumbo.

I started using it and guess what? My life started to change even more!

After using the technique, I started to receive great value from courses and books. It seemed like I was guided to just the right material that would help me most at the time.

Before I share the technique with you,  please ask yourself this question.

“Am I  really ready to change?”

This is important. It is easier to stay the same. Change involves action.

I don’t believe in coincidences. You came across this article for a reason.

Maybe you’ve been searching for a long time.Maybe you are finally ready .

Maybe you are sick and tired of feeling sick and tired.

You need to make a firm decision that living a life of quiet(or not so quiet) desperation is NOT for you.

You need to make the decision that you have great worth.

Are you ready?
