1. Welcome & Announcements
We have a bunch of new subscribers from our "Intensive Self-Care Strategies" Teleclass. Welcome to my Nurturers Circle.
In my previous newsletter, I shared my personal goal to compepte in a Chinese Kung Fu tournament (2006 Wong Fei Hung North Eastern All Kung Fu Championships) on September 23rd. Thank you SO MUCH for everyone who sent me emails to wish me luck and offer me words of encouragement.
I am happy to report that I competed in my very first Kung Fu tournament as planned, and won two gold medals -- one for Northern Hand Form category and one for Internal Weapons category (Wudang Tai Chi Sword). What an exhilirating experience!!! I'm so proud that I stuck to my goal and competed. I've been taking martial arts training for 5 years and I find it very empowering for me physically, mentally and spiritually. Martial arts training allows me to continually challenge myself, test my patience & perseverance, and help me overcome some self-doubt and fears. At the tournament, I got to see so many martial artists with so many different styles, and witness their dedication & determination. It's really inspiring & empowering. You can read about my experience & thoughts about the tournament and see more photos at my personal blog.
How about you? Do you have a personal or career goal that you feel compelled to achieve? Go for it!!! You never know if you can do it until you try. Get whatever support you need, and take the first baby step today! If you would like some support or feedback from me, please feel free to drop me an email. I'm here for you.

It's scheduled for Sunday, Oct. 29 at 9:00pm Eastern Time. There is no cost for this Teleclass, but you must register in advance to receive the call-in bridgeline number and PIN.
Teleclass: "C.P.R. for a Balanced Life"
- Date: Sunday, Oct. 29, 2006
- Time: 9:00pm Eastern (8:00pm Central, 6:00pm Pacific)
- Cost: no charge
- Registration: http://www.rx4bliss.com/hueina.htm (to receive the call-in number and PIN)
Most people are overwhelmed by the demands & responsibilities of work, family, and life in general. Some people either live in the past with regrets and resentment, or live in the future with endless worries. You probably feel stuck, stressed, or even burned out. In other words, you are not fully “alive”. It is time to “resuscitate your life”, and this Teleclass can help.
In this Teleclass you will learn:
- What balance looks like and how to achieve it in your life
- How to shift your mindset and take control of your own life
- How to find your core values and life purpose
- How to prioritize and manage your time
- How to put on your own “oxygen mask” & carve out regular “Me Time”
- How to have inner peace despite chaos
You can get all the details & register at: http://www.rx4bliss.com/hueina.htm
If you cannot attend, please register for the Teleclass anyway. Everyone registered will have access to the Teleclass recording afterwards. Hope to "see" you at our Teleclass.

The Teleclass "Intensive Self-Care Strategies" that Kathy Atkinson (www.EFTdownloads.com) and I presented on Oct. 6 went very well. We talked about the definition & importance of Intensive Self-Care, the root cause of "over-nurturing", the warning signs of Nurturing Burnout, and how to use my C.P.R. model to proactively create more balance, inner peace and time for yourself. Kathy also took us through an EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) process to break the resistance (such as guilt, limiting beliefs, gremlin messages) that keeps you from making yourself a top priority. The call was about 70 minutes long, and packed with valuable information. If you missed the Teleclass, don't worry, I've put the recording on my website. You can download the MP3 here.

2. Featured Article: "From Self Sacrifice to Self Love"
If you know anything about Chinese culture, you'd know that "self sacrifice" is highly admirable, even expected, especially for women. Men are also expected to self sacrifice, but usually only for a higher cause, like family honor, the emperor, or their country. The bottomline is, most people avoid being perceived as selfish at all cost, and they put their own happiness & self-worth at the mercy of others.
After 17 years of living in the US, I know that Chinese is not the only group that have this kind of values & beliefs. We are all more alike than different from each other. Most people make the mistake of making other people responsible for their happiness. They sacrifice their own needs, dreams, even self-esteem to "prove" their love for their loved ones. In return, they hope they will receive love and happiness. The truth is, you will never be happy unless you have enough love for yourself. I invite you to make the shift from self sacrifice to self love.

"Do the thing you fear to do and keep on doing it... that is the quickest and surest way ever yet discovered to conquer fear." -- Dale Carnegie
