How to Get Motivated & Stay Unstuck
Carnelian, Garnets, Red Jasper & Citrine
Here are 4 “creativity stones” to help jump start your motivation and get you flowing. Also, I’ve included a very wonderful article on getting unstuck by intuitive healer Linda White Dove. Enjoy!
Carnelian is a versatile stone that can help inspire you. It facilitates being able to come up with new ideas and stop procrastinating, live up to your potential, and get unstuck. This stone positively affects the 3rd chakra in the solar plexus area. It’s good to keep it in your work area.
Garnets help with grounding and offer patience and peace of mind so that your creativity and inspiration can flow as never before. They help you focus so you can shift gears with ease.
Red Jasper is very similar to garnets, perhaps because of the energy of the color. Red jasper is great for boosting creativity by connecting with your root chakra and helping you solve problems and focus so you can complete projects.
Citrine centers you on the playful joy of developing your creativity and imagination. You may be surprised at how fun it is to realize your creative potential. For many people who are stuck, this is the best stone for you.
5 Ways You May Be Keeping Yourself Stuck and What To Do About It
by Linda White Dove, youareamazing1@proton.me
If you feel like you are in a rut, or things are not happening the way you want despite your efforts, you might be keeping yourself stuck without even realizing it. Here are 5 ways you may be keeping yourself stuck and what to do about it.
Resistance
You’ve probably heard the saying “What you resists persists.” What are you resisting? Resistance requires a lot of energy that can be used for other things. It will also wear you out until eventually you either surrender or it manifests as illness, relationship difficulties, financial difficulties, etc. What if resistance is a gift? Not something to fear or a sign that something is “wrong” with you but a blessing?
The Desire to Control
The desire to control is ultimately a way to try and protect yourself from what you fear. It can show up as trying to manipulate people to get what you want (which is still protecting yourself from what you don’t want). It may be a bunch of requirements you feel need to be met before you are willing to do or try something. This is very common and often you may be unaware your requirements are actually limitations. By comparing your fears and the conflicts in your relationships you can get clearer on how they are connected and how you might be controlling with others. To get clear on “requirements” you have put on situations it is often helpful to ask for the perspective of others you know and trust. Pay special attention to where you feel resistance or reactivity to what they have to say.
Believing You Already Know the Answers and Options
Need money immediately, but your paycheck is not for another week? You have nobody to ask to loan you the funds and cannot think of any other options so you conclude it is not possible. Do you believe that the type of illness you have is genetic and you are stuck with it for the rest of your life? Think all the good men/women are already taken? These are just a few examples of how you limit yourself with your beliefs of what is possible. However, if you can be willing and open to not having all the answers, it creates space for something new.
Incomplete Forgiveness
Take a look at the behaviors of the people who hurt you. Think of each person and what they did (or did not do). If you look closely, you will likely notice similarities in what the people did and how you felt inside about yourself as a result. Forgiving the person is only half of the healing process. It is like the flower on a plant. Addressing how you felt /feel about yourself is the root.
Your Stories
Everything you think and believe about yourself, about others and about life are just thoughts and beliefs. Who you actually are, who others are and what life is, has nothing to do with your thoughts and beliefs. These are stories not the actual thing itself. With this awareness, you can choose to experience beyond the stories or to choose stories that work for you…and to change the stories as needed rather than get mired down in them when they don’t work.
As you work through these 5 ways you keep yourself stuck, you will be opening yourself to change, flow, and greater ease. Think about your life and how it would feel to have change, flow and ease. If you feel any fear or sense tension or construction, go back through this article and apply the information until you feel comfortable and ready to move forward.

Testimonial
I was taken on the most wonderful and unexpected healing journey using Linda’s Becoming Delightfully Unstuck 21-day audio healings. Feeling “stuck” is an on going pattern for me in my life. I chose to make Career Stuckness my sole focus to clear during the 21 days. That was my intention, but that’s not what happened.
Turns out I rarely thought of my career issues or goals. My need to control the way the program was supposed to go and supposed to heal me vanished during the first audio session. Instead my mind and thoughts were instinctively directed to letting go and letting Linda guide me with her gentle guidance. During each audio sesh, as I called them, the lifelong belief systems about my lack of self worth and forgiveness, my need to control things out of fear and resistance started emerging. Most of them I was fully aware of. I like putting things on the back burner to someday get to, look at and resolve. Some were surprises to me. All of these were aching to be seen in the light of day to be revealed like little children needing love and attention.
At first glance some of the titles I thought I didn’t need. Or they probably wouldn’t do much. They turned out to be the gems of the group for me. There were audios that made me weep, others I immediately felt a shift from and others lead me in a lovely trance like state for a few moments.
Linda’s audios are deceptively simple and yet are so profound in the loving healing punch they deliver. I love and appreciate how short they are and that I have the ability to play them silently. Linda explains in each audio how and what each one is used for. She gives visual examples which help so much. There is no thinking or guessing on how to use them. Linda did all of the work for me. I just sat back and let go.
Without even focusing on it, I am actually closer to my career goal than I thought I would be after 21 days. It was the shifts in how I saw myself, my feelings of capability and self deservingness that I cleared in the program that is leading me closer to my dream. This is a program that I can use over and over again on every issue and challenge I have. I’m so excited that I have Linda’s healing love to help me through each one of them. ~J.H.
