The most empowering question you can ask yourself – Who am I?

http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Enneagram-New-190x153.jpg

Wouldn’t it be wonderful if you could understand yourself in a brand new light? By this I mean be able to understand the different triggers that cause you to respond to life in the way you do, to know and be able to recognise what takes your energy up, what takes you down, what motivates you, and to be able to instantly recognise when your ego is responding to life rather than the real you? And wouldn’t it be wonderful …

How to Create a Beautiful Intimate Relationship

http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/Picture1.png

So many people assume that their relationships just happen to them, with little understanding that it will in fact unfold in direct reflection of their own thoughts and feelings about themselves. You see, we all take a certain amount of ‘baggage’ into our relationships with us in the form of conditioning from our past which creates our beliefs and sense of self-worth if we allow it to. Most of us are blissfully unaware of what these patterns of behaviour are, …

From Woman to Goddess…

http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/index-190x142.jpg

Women have the most astounding power… yet how many are aware of just how many cards they hold in their relationship?… When a woman harnesses this energy within herself, she discovers the Goddess within… The most important thing – Love Yourself – because you cannot give what you do not have after all. I remember when I first began experiencing love in a completely different way. Quite difficult to explain the feeling;  it’s like a warm fuzziness in my chest …

When positive messages can leave a negative energy…

http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/better-than-you-190x146.jpg

I’m seeing more and more quotes circulating on social media which are about not allowing others to ‘pull you down’ once you begin feeling positive about life. Most are wonderful and focus on the positive, but some leave me with a tinge of sadness. Media is a very powerful thing, and I’d like you just to take a moment to think more deeply about what some of these seemingly positive messages convey… Here is just one example: “Small minds can’t …

Why do we worry so much about what others think of us?

http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/03/what-others-think-190x122.jpg

Now there’s a question – why do we worry so much about what others think of us? Have you ever really thought about this? Realistically, how logical is it to do so? If you were to walk into a room of 20 people, they would all have a different perception of you. Which one would you choose to define who you are? Your own, or randomly any one of the 20? And if you did choose one of the 20, …

Do you get upset when someone doesn’t text back?

http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/text-190x126.jpg

Do you get upset when someone you really like doesn’t reply to your text? You see, so much of our giving takes place on a hidden exchange system, even though we’re blissfully unaware of it. When it does, it’s because we need or want to hear something back. So for example if we send someone a text saying that we had a wonderful evening after a date, and they don’t reply within a couple of hours, our natural response is …

Is Communication Sabotaging Your Relationship?

http://dianemacdowall.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/HAPPY-COUPLE-190x182.jpg

We often take the way in which we communicate with our partner for granted, rarely giving a thought to the tone of our voice or the words we choose to put our message across. I can’t express highly enough how important effective communication is in any relationship, because whatever form it takes will create the foundation for the experience you share and the results you achieve. You can create some amazing shifts in the polarity you experience together by changing …
