Why You Can’t Stop Your Mistakes Before You Make Them

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

I had another dream that I was going blind. I kept slipping in and out of my ability to see. I thought to myself “How ironic I’m blind and clairvoyant.”

When I awoke, I felt spirit around me, encouraging me to expand my vision. I must admit I felt scared. What would I see? What could I see? What if I saw something ugly?

I thought maybe it would be better not to look. Then spirit reminded me that had got me into a lot of trouble in the past.

“Okay God show me what I need to see. I know I can’t see what you want me to see, show me,” I prayed.

The following night I received a powerful understanding from a conversation I had with Neale Donald Walsch that helped me understand life purpose from a whole new state of awareness.

If you diligently apply this principle to your life, you will stop making mistakes and get the best outcome every time.

Problem #3 - You Gave Up Before You Started

Have you ever felt frustrated that you’re doing everything right and yet you’re still not getting the response you want?

Can’t understand why a person you love is pushing you away?

If the answer is yes, there’s for sure something you’re not seeing.

Solution #3 – Keep Helping People

Neale told me the way he kept increasing his awareness was by helping other people. It made me realize that anything I have ever achieved was born out of a desire to help others, wanting to see them happy, in love and successful.

The driving motivation for me to write Unleash The Psychic In You was my desire to share my knowledge of the sixth sense and how to trust intuition.

Whenever I felt blocked or didn’t know what to write, I thought about my past pain and how I’d wished this information had been available to me. That gave me the will and energy to write.

The intention of my book is to help people gain clarity and in this process I am continually having my blind spots revealed to me.

Transforming Blind Spots into Visionary Life Purpose

•    How can you help others?
•    What have you learned from helping people?
•    What would you like to gain clarity on that you do not currently understand?
•    Finances? Relationships? Health? Career?

As you help others, ensure that you also take good care of yourself. When you give, check in with your soul to make sure your intentions are clear without a hidden ulterior motive (or you will suffer).

Never help others out of obligation. Help because you want to, because you care, from a place of passion deep within your heart.

Eight Chakra Magnetism at Yoga Works

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

Wow, what an incredible evening the lovely Kia Miller and I had at Yoga Works on Friday.Electric Energy at Yoga Works

I’ve never seen a room quite so electrifying and exquisite as Kia guided a powerful group of visionary leaders through a series of ancient mudras that have been held secret for thousands of years; and I led two special guided meditations to move everyone through their unconscious limiting beliefs, followed by a powerful guided visualization to anchor everyone’s life purpose into physical manifestation.

Joanna leading guided meditation at Yoga WorksAs I stood in front of the full class in Santa Monica, CA, my heart dropped into my stomach for a moment before I began the meditation. I remembered the past paralysis of my low self-esteem and here I was now standing before everyone as an intuition expert.

My husband Nick also attended the event which made me so happy. He said when we were doing the life purpose meditation he saw a golden ball of light in front of him, in his mind’s eye. He didn’t realize till that night he already had the gift of clairvoyance within him : )

Your 7-Step Process to Successful Decision- Making

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

You have to make decisions everyday. What to wear? Where to eat? What brand of toothpaste to buy? Which phone service provider to use? What emails to read first? Birthday gifts to shop for loved ones? Where to live? Who to date? Marriage??

  • Are you aware of how many decisions you need to make in a day?
  • Do you know how to prioritize your decisions?
  • Are you overwhelmed yet?

Don’t blame yourself if you procrastinate or slip into denial. It takes persistent practice to make smart fast decisions.

The more you practice, the faster you’ll trust yourself.

Let’s take a look at the seven basic steps of successful decision-making.

1. Stop Thinking

Do you know why you get overwhelmed? Exhausted? Irritable? Frustrated? Worried? Stressed? Doubtful?

The problem is thoughts are swimming in your head, tons of thoughts. They don’t stop until you make a decision.

Do you know why you don’t make an important decision?

Because you’re always thinking, and even when you think you’re not thinking, you are!

You’re on autopilot and decisions that need to be made are still swimming in your head. Then when you reach your deadline and have to decide, you make a poor choice because you feel rushed or lack clarity.

When you become aware of your thoughts you can stop thinking.

Here’s what you need to do next…

2. Create Space to Feel What You’re Really Feeling

Each thought has an emotion attached to it. That’s why the more decisions you put off making, the more overwhelmed you will get.

Overwhelm creeps up on you slowly. It starts off as doubt, turns into worry, increases to stress, leads to irritability, frustration and finally exhaustion and overwhelm.

Would you like to bypass that rollercoaster of feelings when you have to make an important decision?

You’ve got to allow yourself to feel. When you numb your emotions, they become destructive.

Grab a pen and paper, no excuses and let yourself feel.

What do you feel?

3. Write Down a Challenging Decision You Need to Make

When you experience denial, you don’t even know what you need to decide. This is a great way to cause chaos, miscommunication and upset in your life. The problem is not going to go away.

Do you leave your job? Stay in the unfulfilling relationship? Ask for a raise? Spend money on a much-needed vacation when a credit card debt is due?

Don’t skip over this. Write down your question.

4. Ask Yourself Why You Have to Make This Decision

When you look at the question you’ve written down, ask yourself why this decision is important to you.

For example: Do I end my relationship with boyfriend?

There’s a reason why you feel like you need to make a decision. You need to use your intuition to look inwards and discover your true feelings. The only reason you don’t have the answer or are scared to see the truth is because you have an unconscious fear.

When you break down the decision-making process into steps, it removes fear.

This opens you to the energy of creation.

5. Create the Outcome You Want

You know what you want. What stops you deciding is fear of making the wrong choice.

There is no poor choice if you’re doing the best you can.

Close your eyes and bring your awareness to your solar plexus (a few inches above the belly button and below the heart). Now move your awareness inside this space.

Feel deep inside yourself. You are connecting to your Will that guides you to live purposefully.

You will always make the best choice when you make decisions from this space of awareness.

6. Release Attachment to the Result

Once you’ve made a decision; let go of how you think things are going to turn out.

If you worry or obsess over your choice; you’ll drive yourself nuts.

What’s done is done. There is a learning curve in using your intuition to ensure good decision-making.

Better to decide, than let people, circumstances and life control you.

7. Allow Yourself to Receive Intuitive Guidance

The biggest mistake I see people make is they look for answers outside of themselves.

Can you get quiet enough to hear your inner guidance?

The guidance is always there. In fact every aspect of your sixth sense is giving you support.

Do you know how each one of your intuitive senses can give you guidance?

When you are in tune with your intuition, you’ll feel confident about your next step.

When you allow intuition, it will become a strong presence in your life.

Tune In, Trust It

It’s simple to make successful decisions once you get in tune with your intuition. Depending on how receptive you are will determine how fast you trust yourself.

Start off with making small decisions faster and then when you feel ready, tackle the more challenging choices you need to make.

Keep following these 7-steps above and you’ll soon eliminate self-doubt and become a powerful leader.
