When Life Gives a Gift, Don't Give it Back.

Photo: The Gift of a New Day    www.RobertDaCostaVisions.com When Life Gives a Gift, Don't Give It Back. Lisa Puzo Strickland Edited January 23, 2018 Sometimes, the most unexpected, ridiculously-awesome thing happens to us. A gift from the Universe, straight out of the blue. It could be a new friend, an informative associate, a lottery win, a job offer, or perhaps an enlightened clarity of things to come. Gifts come in many forms. And when good stuff drops in our lap, we need only say Thank you! and let it happen. There's no need to question if we deserve this gift. That would be like giving it back before you untie the ribbon and open the box. Too often we put up our own road blocks of fear, doubt, anger, or distrust, and in doing so, we prevent the elegant flow of Life from sweeping us up into its stream of abundance and possibility. If you are blocking your own fortune, stop it. No more road blocks. It's time to shift your thinking. Open yo

6 Ways to Successfully Navigate Change in Your Life

6 Ways to Successfully  Navigate Change in Your Life  Lisa Puzo Strickland Change is an innate part of our existence. It empowers our evolution and propels us forward.  But, change can be awkward and painful given we humans much prefer to be comfortable.  To avoid the pain of change, we often hang onto the familiar, the habitual, and therefore, hold ourselves back an optimum life.   When you finally bust through enough denial and self-doubt to reach the crucial I'm Ready! point, try these  few bits of navigational wisdom to kick-start your journey: 1. Remember Humans are rigged for change. It's in our DNA, so, you can be assured that you have successfully navigated change many times before throughout your entire existence.  Change is an integral part of the evolutionary process. Without it, nature gets stuck. Be confident that, just as the entire universe exhibits change every second of every day, you also can boldly go where you’re meant to grow. 

3 Ways to Tap into Your Intuitive Intelligence

3 Ways to Tap into Your Intuitive Intelligence Lisa Puzo Strickland Gut instincts, flashing visions, or prophetic dreams can be a bit offsetting. And when these precognitions later prove true, we can be left feeling shocked, scared, but most often, exhilarated.  This is our intuition, or sixth sense, revealing itself to help us navigate life and make good choices.  For most, intuitive wisdom comes when we least expect it - out of the blue. But what many don't realize is that we are all capable of tapping into this ethereal intel any time we need sage advice. We just have to know how to ask for it. Here are 3 powerful ways to ask for intuitive guidance and receive applicable knowledge in return.  One...  Use the (Positive) Force       The Universe acts a lot like a search engine. It identifies with the words we speak and delivers related content. The world of energy works much the same in that 'like attracts like'.  (Nature.com, 2012)

LiberATE: How to Intuitively and Verbally Break Bad Food Habits

LiberATE: How to Intuitively and Verbally Break Bad Food Habits By Lisa Puzo Strickland facebook.com/IntuitionEvolution Why does an internal struggle ensue every time we pick up a cookie! Our taste buds crave the taste and our emotions want the happy high, yet our brain screams “Put it down!”. These clashes are often defused by convincing ourselves it’s ' just one cookie' and we’ll take the orange next time.  We instinctively know what is good for our bodies and what is not. Each time we are about to take a bite from our plate, our brain sends energetic signals throughout the entire body proclaiming whether or not that food item is beneficial or detrimental. Not shockingly, fruits, vegetables, and nuts (unless you’re allergic) almost always resonate naturally with our biorhythms, thus creating calm-yet-powerful flows of energy and thought. Sugar-based items, however, wreak havoc, resulting in chaotic turmoil within our systems.  In addition to our pri

3 Tips to Faster, Better Decisions ! (By Not Making Them) By Lisa Puzo Strickland      We’ve all been in situations demanding a fast answer. Or sat in long, laborious brain-storming sessions expected to find the perfect solution to a boggling issue. But, a quick yes, no, or maybe - so isn’t always possible. More times than not, brilliant conclusions don’t come when we want them, but later when we let them.       A nifty thing happens inside of our brain when we’re trying to force a decision or solution. Microtubules line up in an organized sequence, like tiny soldiers all facing forward. This process is called neural synchrony, and it’s what allows us to selectively pay attention to one thing at a time. Without neural synchrony, we’d spend our whole day confronted with mass amounts of outer stimuli all at once, resulting in a cerebral experience similar to the 'white noise' static we hear when a tuner is caught between two radio stations.   "More

3 Reasons Why You Are  Intuitively Smarter  Than Your Coworkers Lisa Puzo Strickland       Has someone ever said to you, "Wow! You've got a gift for this!"  or "You're insight is amazing!"? Have you ever wondered why you were able to come to a conclusion much faster than your coworkers, and more quickly foresee a potential issue down the road?  If so, congratulations, you are Intuitively Intelligent. Y ou innately know that intuition helps find the missing piece that completes the picture, often leaving others scratching their heads.  Here are 3 reasons why you may find your Intuition to be stronger than your peers: (And if the mood suits you, maybe you'll share your secret!)   You’re connected to the real world web.   To you, every person and every belief is connected to and affected by one another in a weblike fashion. Your network-style thinking comes naturally and is supported by the very premise of quantum physics

The 4 Levels of Intuitive Living!

Photo: Google The 4 Levels of Intuitive Living! Lisa Puzo Strickland We live life on one of four levels: Dive, Survive, Thrive, or the level to strive for, Alive. Not only is l ife experienced differently at each level, but how we value our  intuition differs at each of the corresponding levels as well.     We reside primarily on one level at a time, but can slip into other levels depending on the day or phase of life. For instance, we may be at the Alive level one day, but then suffer a job or relationship loss and find ourselves falling back into Survival mode.  Levels can also be aspect-sensitive, such as when one Thrives in his or her love life, but is Diving professionally.  An overall shift in levels happens when we reach a conscious or intuitive sense of either completion or frustration with our present level combined with the belief that a different level would reap greater rewards or contentment.   Keep in mind that every level is good because

2 Ways Life Reacts When We Miss Important Intuitive Messages

2 Ways Life Reacts When We Miss Important Intuitive Messages Lisa Puzo Strickland Facebook.com/IntuitionEvolution       Intuition sheds light on what lies just around the corner while nudging us towards the right decision. This intelligent insight doesn't usually come in easy-to-understand text messages as one would hope, but rather, it punches us in the gut, sends chills up our spine, and creates passing thoughts we cannot ignore.  For the sensitive, intuition may come in the form of dreams, visions, or overwhelming emotions. A person may  envision   a job change in the future, spurring them to keep his or her options open. Or, maybe someone will  experience a sense of angst over a contemplated move, indicating the timing isn't right.   But for many, intuitive messages are hard to catch, resulting in missed clues that would have otherwise proved useful.  Fortunately, when this happens, Life kindly offers us a couple of more chances to get the hint b
