Done with love? How to break-through the fear of getting hurt again.
Are you afraid of falling in love? Maybe you have been disappointed or wounded one time too many and are no longer willing to make yourself vulnerable. Or maybe you felt suffocated and controlled in your previous relationships and decided it is better to be alone than unfree. So you are pushing people away to keep yourself safe from getting hurt again. But at the same time you are feeling lonely and unwanted and long for someone else to make you feel better.
Love is one of the most enjoyable and powerful energies we can experience and share with others. Love in itself is healing – and neither hurtful nor damaging. What causes the emotional suffering isn’t love but what falling in love can bring to the surface. Whether we are consciously aware of it or not, whenever we open our heart to someone, we also get in touch with how we relate to ourselves. Unresolved insecurities, limiting beliefs and the lack of self-love and appreciation are the most common reasons why it may appear so scary for you to let others get close– and why you may have been so negatively affected by past relationships.
Listen here and learn how to heal and grow from past heart aches and make falling in love enjoyable and fulfilling again.
How to make fear a catalyst for love
Someone once said fear is the opposite of love. But no matter how much we try to avoid being afraid, we all have to face our fears at some point in our lives. Fear is a natural part of life – and one that is often misunderstood. Listen to empowerment expert Dr. Friedemann Schaub to learn about the healing potential of fear – and how it can open your heart to love.

How many times have you told yourself, “I should do this – or start doing that.” How many self-development books ended up on your shelf, looking impressive in your library, but unfortunately never really had a true impact in your life.

Listen to this upcoming interview with empowerment expert Dr. Friedemann Schaub and learn how you can utilize the powers of your consciousness to overcome hesitation and procrastination and master the art of taking action.

Harness the POWERs of Your Consciousness Part 3: How to make choices and harness your will-power
Which job should I take? Should I buy a house or keep on renting? Am I ready for another child? Using free will and making a choice can be some of the greatest yet most difficult steps to take in life. Great because the moment you consciously choose, you’re moving from the passenger’s seat to the driver’s seat, from the effect- to the cause-side of the equation. You’re reclaiming your right to create your own reality.
Difficult because it often leads to change, and change can be scary. What if you make the wrong choice? What if you don’t have what it takes to make it work? What if you others don’t approve of your choice?
Listen to this upcoming interview and learn effective processes, which will allow you to make clear and self-empowered choices utilizing your conscious, subconscious mind and higher consciousness.

The Power’s of our Consciousness. Part 2: Openness and Flexibility
Someone once said: “A mind is like a parachute – it only works when it is open.” Openness and flexibility are one of the most important powers of our mind and consciousness. While it may be ‘the survival of the fittest’, it is certainly ‘the thriving of the most flexible.’
Lack of openness and flexibility are one of the most common reasons we stay stuck and don’t reach our goals. When our mind becomes rigid, our perspective becomes limited and all we can focus on are the problems and obstacles.
On the other hand, with a flexible mind, we can unmask and look beyond the assumptions and projections we’ve assumed were reality. We are open to see ourselves and the situations we’re dealing with from various angles, analyze the details, and then take another look at the bigger picture or from a higher perspective. Flexibility increases our range of emotional and mental responses, allows us to move more quickly through feelings that are not supportive, and empowers us to consciously see and take advantage of the opportunities in every situation.

This upcoming interview will address the power of openness and flexibility, which allows us to find answers in problems, understanding in confusion, and possibilities in limitations.
How to Harness the POWERs of your Consciousness
Why does it appear so difficult to change and thrive – to take life into our own hands and
follow our dreams? Most of us have a natural fear of change. We become used to
our lives and limitations being the way they are, and even if they are
unpleasant, they are in a sense more comfortable than even the prospect of
something new, something we don’t understand or might fail at. What would change
or a bigger life actually look like and feel like? Who would we be? What if
don’t have what it takes? As we remain stuck and entangled in our fears and
insecurities, our belief that we aren’t able to change only increases.
The good news is that we all have the most powerful tool to break through these fundamental
barriers at our disposal. Our consciousness, which consists of conscious and
subconscious mind and higher consciousness. The acronym POWER describes
the five natural abilities of our consciousness that provide us with the
leverage and power to break through any perceived limitations and take our lives
to a greater level of happiness and fulfillment.
The first power is the power of Perspective, which means our ability to be conscious
that we create our own reality – and how we can make it better. With perspective
comes awareness, with awareness comes responsibility, and with taking
responsibility comes true empowerment.

Q: How can I stop giving my power away?
by Janet Luhrs of Simple Living Magazine and Dr. Friedemann Schaub
My dear friend,
Don’t give your power away Personal power has everything to do with how you feel, and whether your life works or not. If your finances are out of control, it’s because you’ve given your power away. If your house is a cluttered mess, it’s because you’ve given your power away. If your relationships aren’t working, it’s because you’ve given your power away. If you feel tired, or less than optimally healthy, then it means you’ve given your power away. This is especially true for women, because we have been raised to think our self-worth comes from serving and pleasing everyone else. No wonder why women are tired and cranky, and no wonder why we resent our husbands, kids, families and colleagues! I spoke to Dr. Friedemann Schaub, who specializes in personal power. Here’s his advice:
- Pay attention to your own needs. How does it feel right now that for the 50th time today, you’re cleaning up after your family? How’s your energy?
- Create a concrete, objective list to show where your energy is going. Draw a line down the center of a page. On one side, list everything you do that drains your energy, and on the other side, everything you do that gives you energy. Now rate the items on your lists from 1 – 10 (10 being the most draining or the most energizing).
- Look at your self-talk drains. You’ve just had a nice dinner and you obsess over saying the wrong thing to someone, or you beat yourself up with negative self-talk. Do you feel more expanded, or contracted? Expansion means you feel good, and your energy gets bigger. When you obsess over what other people think of you, or that you should be perfect but you aren’t, or when you don’t speak your truth, your energy contracts and you get smaller.
- Admit you’re out of balance and start taking little steps to energize yourself. For instance, you could turn off your computer and eat your lunch in the park, rather than at your desk. Little steps have huge ripple effects.
A few facts about personal power:
- Everybody has power inside. So many women feel like they don’t have intrinsic worth outside of doing for others, but this is not true – you’re born with personal power.
- Continually giving your power away is a slow death – dying of the self – and this is a very serious problem.
- It’s not selfish to put yourself first – it’s just the opposite. You can still be a caring wife, mom, or friend – but also take care of yourself first. Otherwise, you’re tired and cranky and that’s not good for anyone. Start now by making the decision that it is not selfish to take care of yourself. You must wake up to this! Don’t wait for an emotional or physical breakdown to get it!
- Be flexible. What you’ve been doing in the past hasn’t been working, so try something else. If you spend all weekend driving kids to soccer, find someone else to carpool with, and/or tell the kids you need this next weekend to take care of yourself. You’ll become a role model for your kids as someone who likes herself, is healthy and fun, rather than tired, cranky, and resentful. Do the same with colleagues and spouses. Try small steps and see how it works.
- Listen to your self-talk. When you want to sit down and relax, and your perfectionist voice says you have too much to do, ask yourself if it’s true you shouldn’t be sitting down, and ask if it makes you feel better to not relax. Find good, kind, compassionate arguments for that voice.
- Where did your negative voice originate? Is it a belief that you’re not good enough? Are you just repeating old patterns? What do you want to believe instead? Use words that make you excited. Ideas are: “I’m confident and I like the way I am.”
- Feel this new belief in your body. Imagine yourself as a person with that belief. See yourself as someone more bright, or with a big smile.
- Every day, before you get out of bed, spend 1 – 2 minutes feeling and seeing that image of yourself.
- During the day, watch for trigger situations where you give your power away. Ask yourself, would a person who appreciates herself, be afraid to speak up, or take things so personally? Before bed each night, list ways you appreciated yourself that day – not what you were doing, but who you were, and what good choices you made.
- Don’t cheat! You can’t say ‘I’m going to be a person who appreciates myself,’ but then allows people walk all over you.
