Hi, it's Kara here,

I apologize for not communicating with you for the past couple of weeks. I've been hunkered down in a quite place of reinventing myself. I've stripped away a bunch of stuff, and now I'm still a bit naked. I'm excited to find out what comes out of all this digging around in my psyche and soul. So far, it's pretty exciting.

In this issue:
1) We Are Sensuality
2) Self-Confidence vs. Self-Esteem


1) We Are Sensuality
Chris (my boyfriend for all of you who are new) said something to me this week that got me to thinking. He was going on about how grateful he is that I'm so sensual because I've taught him to enjoy the more sensual side of life. Because women are naturally more emotional we are naturally more in touch with the enjoyment of our senses. Beautiful sights, luxurious scents, rapturous sounds, the joy of touching something soft, chocolate! We are freer to express our appreciation of what we enjoy and when we share it with the man in our life, they get to be "notified" that there's something they shouldn't miss. When you say, "Here, feel how soft this is...smell this wonderful flower...taste this amazing sauce...look at how the light shows through that flower," realize that you are giving him little gifts of joy, of living life more fully.

When we bring our sensuality to the bedroom, we can show him that there can be pleasures that might otherwise be missed. Now I do have a little sniggling fear that you might be falling down on the job. The job being, YOU enjoying the sensual pleasures that are around you every day. I hope you never lose sight of the fact that if you are happy and enjoying life, you are more attractive, more beautiful and men are more attracted to those qualities than anything else. Of coure, brea-sts come in a close second. ;-)


2) Self-Confidence vs. Self-Esteem
This is hard for me to talk about because I feel very vulnerable but I think there might be a lesson in sharing it with you. It won't apply to everyone who receives this newsletter but if it helps only one, then I'll feel good.

I've been taking a class on goal setting with David Neagle. What he is teaching is the best goal setting information I've ever heard, and I've studied them all. Well tonight he opened my eyes to something I'd never noticed before. Wow, this is really hard to share.

Anyway, he was talking about self-esteem and if you lack that as well as love and security, you won't be able to achieve your goals. I thought, "I've got great self-esteem." Then I started thinking of all the things I've been wanting to do but haven't. And then it hit me, I've been confusing self-confidence with self-esteem. I have buckets of self-confidence but when I want to push into a new level that is uncomfortable, like wanting to get to know Jack Canfield, who is a co-contributor with me for 101 Ways To Improve Your Life, I get weak in the knees ( You can order your own copy here: http://www.1shoppingcart.com/app/?Clk=1590988 .) And I just now am remembering that when Men Made Easy first came out, he called out of the blue and asked for a copy. I was thrilled to send it to him but I never called back to see what he thought. He lives in Santa Barbara and I just recently decided I would do whatever I had to to spend some time with him. All these years I might have already been in his circle of influence.

I realized that when I lack self-esteem I lose my nerve. Self-confidence takes me most places I want to go. But those places where I have to stretch into scary territory, that's about not believing in myself. Maybe you suffer from the same confusion. When you meet a new man, does your usual self-confidence goes out the window leaving you wonderiing what happened? Maybe it's a lack of self-esteem (believing in yourself, believing you are worthy of life's goodies) that has gotten in the way. something to think about.

David Neagle's work is so good I am going to see if he will do a teleseminar for you that would focus on relationship goals. I'll let you know what he says.

I came to this conclusion about self-confidence vs. self-esteem just at the end of the second session. I can't wait until next week when I can hear what else he has to share with us.

Until next time, be beautiful, be happy, be your true self,
Kara
