http://masterfesto.comIn the last episode, I covered Courage. In this episode, I will focus on Confidence. Confidence, is created, built, generated from Courage. You can’t have true Confidence without Courage. I believe that having confidence takes heart, courage, and mental mastery. If you put in the work, train your mind, do the practices, and develop certainty of your capabilities and skills, you will gain confidence. Knowing that you are the best at something is proof of confidence.  With confidence, you will act in your own best interests, and fear of criticism will not stop you. Confident people are unstoppable.  Just like Courage, Confidence takes having a high self-esteem, being assertive, and taking a stand for what they believe in. People who lack confidence spend a lot of time being confused, unprepared, and usually don’t get the results they’re after. Lack of confidence can prevent people from taking risks and seizing opportunities.Support the show (https://paypal.me/ElizabethApodaca311?locale.x=en_US)

http://masterfesto.comToday we’re connecting with THE energy source for love, the Heart Chakra. Everything you learned in the last three episodes come from the Heart Chakra. The Sanskrit name for the Heart Chakra is Anahata. The Heart Chakra elements are: Love kindness compassion self-acceptance inner peacegentleness tenderness patiencesensitivity This Chakra has the power to heal. It even has the ability to fight infections. When it heals, you began to feel unselfish, unconditional love and we began to realize that our mind and body deserve love…. our LIFE deserves love.  When you love your partner, parents, children, relatives, it is your heart chakra manifesting. When there is a breakup in a relationship, you feel it in the heart chakra.Support the show (https://paypal.me/ElizabethApodaca311?locale.x=en_US)

http://masterfesto.comSeems that Valentine's Day has its roots in an ancient Pagan festival. According to History.com, Valentine's Day was named after its patron saint, St. Valentine. Some historians believe that Valentine's Day commemorates the death of St. Valentine on February 14, others believe that the holiday has its origins in a Pagan fertility festival celebrated on February 15 in ancient Rome.  Valentine's Day becomes a major commercial event in the U.S. after 1950. According to the National Retail Foundation, Americans spend over $20 billion on Valentine's Day gifts. Most of it is spent by men. Nearly 6 million couples get engaged on Valentine's Day.Valentine's Day is the Holiday of Romance. Valentine's Day is an opportunity to ignite our existing relationship with romance. What does one do to bring back the fire, the passion? First, you have to choose love. You have to choose that person, the one you’re with. It takes a commitment; it takes work. But the bond you build can last a lifetime, and it’s real. You put in the practice to bring the sizzle. Make this month the love month. I promise it will be fun, and you’ll gain a whole new relationship. Try it. You’ll thank me.Support the show (https://paypal.me/ElizabethApodaca311?locale.x=en_US)

http://masterfesto.comLove of Family is a very special kind of love. It’s much more than just saying “I love my family.” Family love is the first type of love we experience. Mostly it’s the family we’re born into, our parents, siblings. Later as adults, we form your own family. There are many different types of families. Your family does not need to look like the stereotypical nuclear family we often think of when we hear the word "family". Regardless of who your family is comprised of, having your loved ones in your world, and cultivating a strong bond with family members can improve the quality of your life.  Support the show (https://paypal.me/ElizabethApodaca311?locale.x=en_US)

http://masterfesto.comSelf-love isn’t about showing off how great you are. People who love themselves in a healthy way know that they are flawed and make mistakes and they accept and care about themselves despite their imperfections. Self-love simply means you can give yourself the same kindness that you give to others. Self-love is having a high regard for your well-being and happiness.   Self-love means taking care of your needs and not sacrificing your well-being to please others.  Self-love means not settling for less than you deserve. Self-love means accepting yourself just as you are.  Self-love is accepting your emotions for what they are and putting your physical, emotional, and mental well-being first.  Self-love is making healthy choices that serve and nurture you.Self-love is having healthy relationships.  A gift to yourself.  Treating yourself with compassion, understanding and kindness. Having positive thoughts and feelings about yourself. Self- love is not: entitlement, selfishness, narcissism Support the show (https://paypal.me/ElizabethApodaca311?locale.x=en_US)
