Time to Jolt! 8 Full Proof Ways to Get & Stay Motivated

Image
By Lisa Puzo Strickland August 2018 Motivation is the tipping point to our every day. Its presence gets us up in the morning and pushes us through the many hours ahead. If we’ve got a good dose of it, we can perform miracles. If not, well, that can be a problem.   The silent force of motivation either permeates or lacks within every corporate culture. It can make or break a company, therefore, leaders strive to find ways to create and safeguard this precious resource. When there’s not enough of motivation to go around, it's time to muster some up. Corbett Barr If you Google the words ‘how to get motivated’, one of the first articles to pop up is by Corbett Barr, a blogger and writer who is also Cofounder/CEO of fizzle.co . Barr titled his article “Need Some Motivation Right Now? Read This IMMEDIATELY”, so, with coffee in hand, I dug in. Below, I’ve broadly pulled out 8 of Barr’s key points, sans his frequent-albeit-motivating profanity, and me...

They Came Quietly.

The US Air Force, Chinese Army, Russian intelligence, no one knew they were here because their advanced technology allowed them to hide in our skies in plain sight. We later heard it was called cloaking . And, then, with a sonic-like blare that shook the entire Earth and sent all living things across every continent clamoring for safety, they made their presence known. Some called it an invasion. Some called it Gabriel’s trumpet. Some were too scared to comment. Either way, nothing would ever be the same again.  Those that disappeared after the sound were returned shortly sans-disease and graced with a knowledge that was in fact ancient, but new to us. Within hours of the invasive clamor, the whole of mankind realized its weakness against such a galactic display of force, an immense pow...

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 ...

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'....

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 pr...

3 Tips to Faster, Better Decisions! (By Not Making Them)

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 ...
