Dear Intuition Newsletter Friends, 

When you're overwhelmed and feeling stymied and blocked, making yourself work harder is usually counterproductive. Your inspiration dries up; the numbers you're trying to crunch swim before your eyes. The creative ideas you need just aren't coming to you. The solution? You need an insight break! Below are some possibilities to get you started. Which one makes you say, "yes?!" 

In gratitude,

I was just featured on the top-rated business podcast "Entrepreneur on Fire." John Lee Dumas and I talked about "How to Listen to Your Inner CEO." Listen in and find out how my business began at a friend's funeral. (Honest!)

...Also hear the story about how I DIDN'T trust my gut and lost $5.2 million. (Yes, sad, but true!)


Need Some Creative Inspiration? Try this!

Try Meditation - Five to ten minutes is all you need. Simply close your door, turn off the phone and shut your eyes. Focus on your breathing or on a comforting word or phrase. You'll come back feeling centered and relaxed. The answers to issues you were struggling with will often be resolved during that brief time for contemplation. You might enjoy my video/meditation, "Intuitive Wisdom to Guide Your Life."
 
Change Your Location - If you can't actually get away from the office, try changing your location. It can often be as simple as moving to an unused conference room or the company cafeteria. The minor change will help you maintain your mental alertness and increases your productivity. If you can, bring your laptop to the park. Nothing like a change of scenery to fire up your creative juices.

Switch Your Thinking - Sometimes you're simply too focused on the problem to be solved to come up with an inspired solution. Change your inner dialog from "What's wrong with me?" "I'm stuck." Or, "I don't know what to do." Choose more self-empowered phrases such as, "I know I'll come up with a great solution. I always do." Or, "What's my right next step?" Or, "What would __X__ do?" (Fill in the blank with someone you admire.

Get Moving - Exercise gets the cobwebs out of your brain and allows you to come up with successful ideas while running on the treadmill or lifting weights. Think about a concern or difficulty you're experiencing. Begin your activity with the belief that at the end of your work out you'll have a great solution to the issue you've been struggling with. Allow your subconscious mind to work on the answer as you work out. Grab a paper and pen at the end of your exercise time and jot down next steps you can take/

Get Answers While You Sleep! I like that idea and it's a time-honored tradition among some of the most creative people from inventors to politicians to successful entrepreneurs and executives. Take a brief "power" nap. Famous "nappers" include Winston Churchill, Albert Einstein and Brahms. The latter reportedly napped at his piano while he composed his famous lullaby. Many people confess that napping was one of the quickest ways they found to make a decision or come up with a solution. Just don't snore and wake everyone else up!

Which one of the ideas resonated with you the most? That's your intuition giving you the go ahead. Now take action on it. Intuition is your inner guide to a successful, happy and inspired life.

The puzzle of motivation is a Ted Talk by career analyst Dan Pink. He examines the puzzle of motivation, starting with a fact that social scientists know but most managers don't: Traditional rewards aren't always as effective as we think. Listen for illuminating stories - and maybe, a way forward.

"Work less than you think you should. It took me a while to realize there was a point each day when my creativity ran out and I was just producing words - usually lousy ones - for their own sake. And nap: it helps to refresh the brain, at least mine."
 
- Amy Waldman
 
"Sometimes, even when nothing appears to be going on, there's a lot of information being transferred on an unconscious level. The Divine knowledge you seek may pop into your mind when you least expect it!"
