Does starting something new excite you? Do you dive right into a new goal, and obsessed with seeing results? If so, you are a starter.

Being a starter is a blessing because it means that you don’t hesitate to take the first step. But there is a difference between an immature and a mature starter. Immature starters use a lot of energy up front because they are only interested in the reward. Along the way, that motivation fizzles out, leaving you disappointed, frustrated, and even ready to quit.

In today’s episode, Lisa shares her experience as an immature starter. She used to be obsessed with the destination, robbing herself of peace and contentment for years.

Now, Lisa is still a starter, but she is a mature starter. She removed two words from her vocabulary, significantly changing her relationship with her goals. She has no problem launching into something new, but she has taught herself to appreciate the journey and focus on mastery instead of speed.

If you are a starter looking to learn how to control your pace, ensuring you have energy and motivation from the first step through to the finish line, this episode is for you. Tune in to learn the two words you need to remove from your vocabulary to find peace and contentment while working toward your goals.

Stress is not just caused by undesirable circumstances. If you attribute overwhelm, unexpected situations, or hardship as the source of your chronic stress, you are assigning blame in the wrong places.

In today’s episode, Lisa debunks the misconception that stress is only caused by things you don’t like or situations you don’t want to be in. You can be doing what you love, living with purpose, and still deal with chronic stress.

We use the word stress too casually, and that flippancy dilutes the severity of what it really means for something to be stressful. Lisa shares the science behind how fatal chronic stress is and why we need to eliminate it from our lives urgently. And she explains the four main indications of stress. She provides a way to measure your stress level in each of these categories and offers strategies to help you recognize, accept, and implement change.

Are you ready to get started? Tune in to learn how to discover how stressed you really are and what you can do to take steps toward eliminating chronic stress for good.

Are you feeling stressed and overwhelmed? It’s probably because you are avoiding making a hard decision.

It’s easy to feel paralyzed by difficult choices, especially if you are an over-thinker or prefer to take a passive role in decision-making.

You don’t want to be responsible for the outcome, or you might be afraid of the impact your choice will have on your lifestyle, relationships, health, or business. But tough decisions are often at the root of chronic stress. So, if you want to eliminate chronic stress from your life, you have to get used to making decisions.

In today’s episode, Lisa explains why strengthening your decision-making skills is critical to getting rid of chronic stress. She discusses what holds us back from making tough choices and how that holds us back from avoiding stress. Lisa also shares how she approaches dilemmas and ways she coached herself to take action quickly and decisively.

It’s time to stop letting decisions stand in the way of your peace. If you are ready to learn how to create conditions for decision-making, avoid stress, and embrace living in Radical Obedience™, this episode is for you.
