How can you leap straight from the problem to the answer?

Intuition is the supra-logic that cuts out all the routine processes of thought and leaps straight from the problem to the answer. – Robert Graves

Learning to trust and use your intuition in decision making can be a game changer for you. When you begin to learn to trust that small still voice, that gut feeling, that little nudge you feel from deep within, you truly can learn to leap straight from the problem to the answer.

Intuition Supra Logic Onederous Tribe InspirationThe reality is that you actually do have all of your answers inside of you. You just have been taught not to look there for the answers. If you are like me, you were taught to look outside of yourself. Ask the “experts” or research the answer. Or write out lists of pros and cons or talk to everyone else about the problem until you are so confused you don’t know which way to turn.

I’ve spent a lot of time learning to trust my intuition, and now I spend a lot of time teaching others how to trust theirs. For many people, the first step is even allowing their intuition to have a voice. There are a lot of ways to go about accessing your intuition. Sometimes we’ve cut that voice off so much or stuffed it down so deeply that it is barely a whisper… for some people it has literally gone mute. So the first thing to learn is that everyone has an intuitive voice and it’s okay to let it speak!

Once you’ve gotten through that first step, of even acknowledging and allowing your intuitive voice to be heard, the second step is actually listening to the message.

I think this is the hardest part for a lot of people. Our intuition may kind of speak a different language than we are used to. Intuition can be a whisper, a voice in your head, or it can be a feeling or a knowing. It can present itself outwardly through signs and symbols. The important thing is to start listening and learning how your intuition communicates to you.

Once you’ve started listening, the next step is in learning to trust your intuition. This can be very difficult for some people. I teach a number of ways to go about this, from learning ways to verify the information you are getting to tracking your hunches, and the use of tools that help you to really be able to feel confident in trusting the information your intuition gives you.

I know it is difficult sometimes to really live by your intuition. I mean, if your intuition tells you to go right instead of left, and you go left and have an accident, well, you probably will say to yourself “I should have trusted my intuition!”  But if you go right and nothing happens, you may never even think about it again. So your brain doesn’t register that listening to your intuition paid off! I think a simple way to start paying validating your intuition is to just simply keep a journal. Start tracking your intuitive hunches, what you did with them and what the result was (even if the result was that nothing happened!).

Whatever else you do, I really recommend you find the ways that work for you to begin to truly tap into your intuition. Once you begin to recognize when your intuition is speaking, and then when you follow your intuition, you will find life gets a lot easier for you, and much of the time you absolutely can make that leap right away from problem to solution!

Power Methods to Write and Use Affirmations

Power Affirmations Law of AttractionUse active verbs in your affirmations. Getting, doing, having, learning, loving, and earning are all words that immediately show an image of action to your inner self. The more clearly you are able to see the action in your mind the more powerful the impact of the affirmation will be.

Affirm the positive not the negative. There’s an old song that says, -Accentuate the positive, eliminate the negative, and do not mess with Mr. In-between. Always choose words to reflect the positive results you desire.

For example: “each day I happily choose food that supports my healthy body” is much more powerful than-I am losing weight”.

Notice that both positive affirmations center on choice and health. The basic self (subconscious mind) loves to have a choice. The other two affirmations center on deprivation of no smoking, losing weight. A fear of being deprived can launch the exact behavior you wish to discontinue. How many times have you decided to go on a diet only to begin craving forbidden foods the instant you made the decision?

Keep your affirmations short and sweet.

Affirmations that are simple to remember and repeat will have the most impact. It is more effective to use three short statements that are easily spoken.

Attach strong emotion to your affirmations. When making your affirmations use words that evoke strong feelings in you. When you’re saying your affirmations, even silently to yourself, say them with strong emotion. Here is an example: See it when you say it. Stand tall, stride around the room, and throw your arms out wide.

If you’re in a place where you’re saying your affirmations silently then see yourself taking these physical actions in your mind‘s eye while you’re repeating your affirmations.

Practice the physical part of saying your affirmations whenever you get the chance. This way you’ll have a solid anchor of yourself going through these movements for those times when you need to visualize the movement and you silently say the affirmation.

Use present tense words. I’m now receiving, I’m doing, I now have, choosing these phrases send the message to your basic self that your desired result exists right now.

It’s the responsibility of your basic self to fulfill your directives as quickly as possible. If you put your affirmations in the future tense, as in I will or I’m going to then your basic self has no clear directive to act now. Your desired goal will continue to stay in the future because that’s the information you’re putting out.

Say what you mean. If your affirmation is – I’m a powerful communicator, be sure that you’ve clearly defined to yourself exactly what actions a powerful communicator does.

Remember that words are symbols for our thoughts. Each word or combination of words carries the energy of an image (thought) specific to you. Word your affirmations to get the exact results you desire. Invest in a good thesaurus. The more words you have at your command the more precise you can be in wording your affirmation.

Many teachers and motivational speakers use this technique.

Here is how it works. Choose a time and place when you’re able to be uninterrupted for a while. Start saying your affirmations aloud using lots of movement and great emotional energy.

This can be as easy as touching your forehead with your index finger, clenching your fist, touching your thumb and pinky finger together or any physical activity you are able to assign as your specific anchor action. Avoid choosing a noise action like snapping your fingers or tapping your foot because there may be times when you’ll want to use your anchor unobtrusively. In addition, whichever action you choose, use it specifically as an anchor for your affirmations. If you have a habit of scratching your ear while concentrating then that may not be as effective for you as a new behavior assigned to your affirmations.

As you begin each affirmation, do the action. Put all of your energy and emotion into this. Go over the top, as if you are on stage. Say the affirmation, do the action. Say the affirmation, do the action. Do this for an hour or more if you are able to. Your voice may get hoarse, that is okay. You’re building your desired lifestyle.

Every time you do the action at the peak of your emotional energy while saying your affirmation, you’re creating a direct link between this action and your affirmation energy. You’ll be able to bring up the power of your affirmation any time in the future just by doing this action.

You are able to be in an elevator surrounded by other people and start using your anchor motion. By the time you reach your floor you’ll be pumped, as if you had just spent 30 minutes shouting out your affirmations. The more you use the anchor the firmer that connection will be.

Make your affirmations true and realistic. Your affirmations are your personal directive. Choose the words and phrases that are true for you. Other people may make suggestions and even give you already written affirmations. Use what is meaningful to you and discard the rest. Affirmations created by others may never be as powerful for you as the affirmations you create and believe for yourself.

There are no ‘shoulds’ in personal affirmations. You are responsible for the results that you create in your life by the actions that you choose. Listen to the input that others may offer you and then make your own decisions. Action follows thought. What you decide to think, what you constantly affirm, will determine your action.

A very important guideline for creating affirmations is that your affirmations apply only to you. You may affirm that you are a more loving husband; you may affirm that you have a nurturing relationship with your wife, but if you try to affirm that your wife is a more loving wife, then you are moving into the realm of psychic manipulation.

Affirmations are based on your personal words and thoughts and apply to your life, not to others.

Breaking Free by Robyn Lindsey | Creative Inspiration

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAHi there!  I’m Robyn and I’m so thankful to Donna for having me here.  I’m a writer and I just finished my first novel.  It is my sixth published book (so far!), but the first fiction.  I first got the idea for Breaking Free when I was 12.  It morphed a lot over the 30 years from the initial idea, but the premise stayed the same.

Breaking Free has been a labor of love for me, and one of the most difficult tasks of my life.  In many ways, it was like climbing up a very steep mountain.  Each time when I thought I had gone most of the way, I’d look up and see that I was nowhere near where I thought I was.  So I would trudge onward, some days just baby steps, others were big sprints.

Let me tell you a bit about Samantha, the main character of Breaking Free.  She is, by all accounts, just like you and I.  She is everywoman, except for the fact that she lost her parents at a young age.  Sam is greatly influenced by her mother’s death, which occurred when Samantha was 14.

breakingfreefrontonlyThe pain of that loss caused her to build up walls and close herself off, creating a barrier that even her husband couldn’t quite bring down. Then Sam is faced with her own mortality, and the biggest question of all.  Did life mean anything if there is no one left to mourn you when you are gone?   One day Sam realizes that she is in jeopardy of never having fully lived and knows that life won’t keep giving her chances to make her mark in the world.

This book is about Sam’s journey to finding her way in this world.  There are parts of Samantha that we can all relate to and I hope you love Breaking Free!

Copywriting Tips: 3 Speedy Headline Templates for the Super Busy | Creative Inspiration

By Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero

Headlines are arguably the most important component to eye-catching copy. If you don’t have a compelling headline, odds are you’ve lost your prospect for good.

3-Speedy-Headline-Templates-Business-InspirationIdeally you should write anywhere from 50 to 100 headlines before choosing one. But sometimes you just don’t have time. I have the solution. Swipe these 3 templates, fill in the right words and ta dah! Instant headline!

1) How to (get the biggest benefit your product delivers)

Example: “How to Make $87,000 Per Year As A Magazine Writer!”

How to headlines are particularly attractive to people looking for information – which is their main activity on the Internet.

2) 7 Easy Ways to ______________, without ________________

Example: “7 Easy Ways to Save Money On Groceries Without Clipping Coupons And Running All Over Town Just For Those Sale Items!”

Quantify it with numbers. People respond very well to finite numbers in headlines – they want to know exactly how much information they’re going to get. (Note that you need to tear up the English teacher rule book here. No number is spelled out – it’s all numerals. In other words, forget about the one, two, three – it’s 1, 2, 3. There’s something psychologically powerful to our eyes when we read a numeral that just isn’t there when we read a spelled out number).

3) If _________________, then __________________!

Example: “If You’re Looking for One Convenient Source for All Your Business Needs, We Offer a Huge Selection of Office Supplies”.

This format almost always works because it states a problem and the solution right there in the headline. That’s what people are looking for, the solution to some problem.

Give one of these templates a try the next time you have to come up with a headline on the fly. While they shouldn’t be your only source of headlines, they are a great time saver when you have to get something out in a rush and should give you a pretty good response from your visitors or readers.
