060: How to Get Unstuck and Move Into Momentum

Hey everyone, it’s Lisa J. here and welcome to another Build Your Belief Podcast and YouTube Show. This week’s topic is all about the “Big Mo.” Oh yeah, we’re talking about momentum. How do you get into momentum, you know, momentum, that sweet spot of flow and creativity, and the runner’s high, when you’re in the zone, when you didn’t even know two hours went by because you’re in the zone. You’re in the sweet spot of momentum.

It’s Newton’s first law: Whatever’s in motion tends to stay in motion. And when you’re in motion, you’re in momentum, you feel bulletproof. You can actually manage and handle a negative comment, a limiting belief that pops up, you’re just like, “Huh, I got this.” An interruption? “Nope, you’re not allowed to come in, I’m writing.” Or I’m drawing, or I’m sculpting, or I’m working. Yeah, you build a backbone in momentum. That’s the truth, isn’t it?

So how do we get into momentum? First of all, I want you to notice what kind of limiting momentum, fear-based momentum, the momentum where it’s starting to spiral down. And we got to shift and turn that first before you can move into positive momentum. So, how are you doing right now in the middle of this global reset? What are you doing to shift that ship, move that momentum of fear and anxiety? What are you doing to cultivate your faith? You’re divinely guided. All is well. You’re taken care of. This too shall pass. Faith, that’s momentum, that’s a muscle builder. You got to build that muscle of faith and you can begin with asking yourself, who do I trust? What can I trust? Make a list of all the things you trust. Even in the physical, you can trust sunrise and sunset. You can trust physical laws of science. You can trust gravity.

Now move into the spiritual, if you believe in a creator, you can trust your creator. If you have a person in your life that you can trust, I can trust that person. Hopefully, my friend, you are on that list, you can trust yourself. You say to yourself, “I’ve got your back. I’ll never leave you. I’m your best friend. I’m your best cheerleader. I’m here for you. I believe in you.” You build trust. And by building that momentum of trust, focusing on what you can count on, in the physical, in the spiritual, within yourself, when you start building that within yourself, you’ll start seeing it outside of you. You can’t attract peace, unless you feel peace within. You won’t see faith until you first cultivate faith within. So, that’s the first momentum builder I want you to do. Unravel any spiral momentum and start moving and shifting the ship into faith, trust, peace, well being. Because moving up that emotional scale, you’ll go from well being, trust, peace, to excitement, to creativity, to anticipation, to bliss. And that’s up to you and me to be in charge of our own emotional momentum.

Now, let’s move into actually getting things done and moving into the momentum of action in a project, in an idea. A lot of times my clients say, “But Lisa, I don’t even know what I want right now, with this global reset, I’m just not sure.” Some of you are totally on it and know exactly what you want, but what about those of you that are just not that sure. You have no clarity; you have a lot of confusion and clutter in your mind. One of the best things you can do right now, my friend, is let go of something in the physical, let go of a physical clutter. I know that sounds crazy, but actually I just had this as my homework assignment for all of my global Mindset Reset Coaching clients and the results were remarkable. What happened in their own mindset when they let go of the clutter in the garage? What got created in their own belief and anticipation and excitement about their business when they let go of the clutter in their closet? What happened when they let go of the clutter in that drawer and organized the drawer? The clutter in everything, the garage, the closet, the drawer, the briefcase, the purse.

Let go of the physical clutter and then just watch how that builds momentum in your power, in your clarity. You create space. I call it zero-point energy: When you have nothing you have everything. So, Step #2 in building momentum is clean out the clutter and in that process watch how ideas start popping up, creativity starts building, excitement starts growing, and then you got an idea, right? There’s your idea, there’s your excitement, there’s your goal, there’s your dream that just woke up. There’s the creativity. And now I want you to gift yourself the gift of focus. If you want to build momentum in that project, that idea, that clarity, that newfound dream, that inspiration, gift yourself the time of focus. That means go in your closet and shut the door and tell everyone don’t talk to me for an hour. Maybe its go in your office, “You guys, today is my day to focus.” You’re going to build the momentum, momentum needs time to build, it needs focused attention on that idea, on that project, on that newfound inspiration, on that dream. Make requests; ask your family to leave you alone so you have some focused time to build the momentum today on that project.

For me, you guys, I actually got a place for two weeks, rented out similar to an Aribnb condo and here I am, in Dana Point by myself, in solitude, writing my fourth book. Building the momentum and I am in such a sweet spot. The words are coming, the ideas come with ease, the creativity is flowing. I mean here is what it looks like, I just draw out the things I need to do, I don’t do it linearly, I like circles and I make the circles and get to color it in when I complete it. Complete the Table of Contents, complete the storyboard, complete the chapters, complete the testimonials, complete even ideas for the marketing plan. And so you saw some circles are not finished, but I’m on a role, I’m in my sweet spot, I’ve built the momentum, I have stepped into the “Big Mo.”

Even so much so that my unit that I rented out has literally my whole book taped up on the wall right there. And this is basically only day four of a full week. Now, I know some of you can’t take a full week away from your kids, or your spouse, or your obligations and responsibilities, but until you gift yourself that focused attention whether its in your own office or bedroom, or closet, and you make those requests to not come in, I’m taking this time for my project, for my dream to start building the momentum, because it’s worth it. When you’re in that sweet spot of momentum that you create, no one can create it for you, my friend. You create it by making requests and putting the parameters of time and focused attention on your dream, on your project, and then begin. Small little actions build up, small steps grow, small ideas start to take root and germinate, small action steps expand. And before you know it, you are in the sweet spot of momentum. And boy, does the world need that from you right now.

So, in review I want you to turn the ship, if you have a spiral momentum of negative thoughts, or negative beliefs, or fear or anxiety. Number two; let go of clutter in the physical so that you open your mind to possibility, to creativity, to ideas. Trust the process that the idea will come, the ingenuity will be there, the creativity is birthed when you let go. Let go of something in the physical. And then third, give yourself some focused time to build that momentum. More than an hour, a couple of hours here, and then tomorrow, a couple of hours here building that momentum. And if at all possible, wow, what would it look like with three full days of focused attention on your project, your book, your business. Or one full day or maybe even a week. You’ll be glad you did. Make some requests, make some decisions, tap into the power of momentum. Thanks everyone make it a great week!
