Stay In Movement To Avoid Shutting Down - Lisa Nichols 

About 4 years ago I walked out of a bad marriage, with almost nothing to my name, very little money, my children and a jar of peanut butter. With only a promise of a new job that was gonna pay me less, I cried, like you Lisa all the way on the flight to my new job. For a month and a half I only had energy to go to work, teach and come back to my small flat with only a bed and cry and pray and cry some more. I ate my peanut butter sandwiches and tea and cried. Until one day, I felt an sense of overwhelming peace engulf me. That day, I knew I was ready to go to court and finalise my divorce. Now I've leant that, when things go wrong, it's good to retreat. I take time out for myself and honour myself in ways that resonate with my soul. Last year after two surgeries on my leg and 8 months inflamation, swelling, drugs and injections, I booked myself on a flight to Thailand and stayed at a resort on the beach and embarked on a week of self Love, reflection, meditation, silence and prayer. When I came back, my leg had healed. I no longer need the drugs and no more swelling.

I left work early today broken and depressed. I felt like I was too close to my breaking point only to hear my phone make a noise notifying me that I had a message, the message was this video. My aha moment "Sometimes you unconsciously stay frozen." I seriously had to pause and evaluate how I was reacting to my current situation. It's then I realised I wasn't solving shit by freaking out instead I was making it worse. I'm going to sit down and prepare my battle plan for success because no one but me can do this for me. Thank you for sharing your story with us Lisa.

This episode brought me to tears. Lisa, you affirmed that I am not alone. Instead of feeling guilt and shame and being critical of myself, I'm going to sit at the foot of the mountain, catch my breath, strategize, stand and begin my journey to the top of the mountain. I appreciate you my sister in transformation! I'm forever grateful!

#BOL I was driving in my car listening to my daily resources when I heard my name with the most gentle spirit! "Hadassah" I have been walking with you as though I am physically there since my spiritual awakening a little over 6 months ago! I didn't just take action over my life but I done just what you encouraged me to do! I took radical action... I lived in my own lane all my life so I decided to create my own streets! Peace is understanding that I create my own reality! Freedom is a beautiful expression of grace and I can't help but to feel the tears roll down my face! From my heart to yours I thank you for being so transparent!!! Love teaches, molds, embraces & inspires.... I AM love! You have played a big part in helping me see my true essence! It's funny.... I was chasing love when the entire time it's been within! SN: A few months ago I wrote on my dream wall that I wanted you to personally say my name attached to a message that I needed! I believed it in my heart and seen it clear as day! Now I can scratch that off the list until next time! Lmbo! NEEDED THIS! Always, Love & Light

LISA LISA LISA!!!!! My sister you went deep into my core with this one. I honestly feel like this message was made for me right now in this moment. I have been frozen for years and not just a couple years try like 14 years and never thought I would have the strength to de-thaw. I've had plenty of depressed days sitting by my mountain with no intention of movinv it because I was to afraid. Finally 2 weeks ago I decided enough is enough and I got up but when I got up Girl my butt was sore my legs ached, my shoulders were stiff from sitting and leaning up against that mountain. After wathcing this video I just realized that the reason the mountain never moved is because I gave it the power to stay never again will I give my power away to anyone or anything ever again!!! #BOL 💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃💃

'Don't let me drive and then try to dictate where I take you."'Mmm. Love it!

I want to start by saying that regardless at the fact that this video is from the beginning of 2017, it still strikes me as though you were sitting right here front of me, in my house, telling me your story like the friend I know you are to me (in the spirit lol). A big lesson I have learned is that I cannot save everybody, I have to start with me. I always wanted to be the big hero as I never had anyone to save me so I can relate. I always knew that the open door God set before me was only for me, but I thought I could save them. I thought by focusing on me, I was being selfish, a term my mother said about me a lot coming up which goes back to why I put others before me. I sought for other's approval so much that I lost who I was and for years, I was lost. I have been deeply studying self love for months now and I am thankful by the grace of Jesus Christ himself, that I am finding more and more pieces of me, Brianna Nicole Martin. I thought all these years that I knew me, I am 28 years old with a 29th birthday coming this November 22nd, and I never knew myself or even a glimpse until I started looking for myself. I spent years investing in others opinion to find value. Once I began this journey to the center of my core, I found that the me I thought was me, was a fraud. I value myself now more than I ever have before and it 's such a beautiful thing. Like the flower hat blooms. I thank God for the clues the future me leaves for me to follow, like bread crumbs, so that I have something to follow everyday to get closer to who I am suppose to be. Lisa, you are an important key to my personal journey of self-love, self-growth and self-development. I watch and listen to your videos like the morning sermons I play on you tube from Joel Osteen and T.D. Jakes. lol. You are my friend Lisa, you are like a mother figure in which I never really had...... tho you and I have never met, you have a huge impact on my life and I appreciate you for sharing your stories, your struggle. I respect that. I will continue my journey everyday as I have. Finding me is not a destination, I am learning that it is a continuous journey and I know that as long as I have Jesus leading the way, I'm definitely on the right path. I am coming into the real Brianna and for the first time ever in my life, I feel like a real person and I can finally say for myself, "Brianna I am proud of you". Thank you my friend.

I have been frozen for years! This is the first channel I am hitting the bell for. I need every episode.

This is my very first comment on social media. This vulnerability from a very powerful sister really helps. I've been frozen for years and just now starting to thaw out. I have a hair service and product that would help so many balding women, but I've been completely numb getting it going. I don't even know why I'm frozen, but I'm so frozen that I don't even know what I want anymore because I can't feel anything. Thawing out is a good, gentle first step for me. Thank you for sharing your struggles and receiving your son's love.

I have reacted to anything that anybody that mattered had said that I was, mostly negative. Now I am learning to love who I am for no reason other than knowing that I am okay and whole and complete just the way I am - I kept trying to be perfect for everyone else, now I am perfect for me. From this change in my perspective, I have attracted an amazing man into my life and whenever I cannot get up, he is always there encouraging me and telling me I am a good person and have a lot to offer. These comments are the ones I listen to. Not the negatives ones from others who don't love or care about me.

"Freezing" is the BEST way I have found to describe what has happened to me this year. I turned 30 in February, and the very next day I hit a harder and bigger wall than I ever have in my life (burned out with my work, my relationship, and feeling completely isolated). I have spent the last 10 months frozen. I have not been making any forward progress, and I have been miserable. But then, a couple weeks ago I found an interview with you, and I have been scouring the internet for your videos and I feel like I finally am seeing a path where I can take the first step out.

Lisa I absolutely love this! I was fired 3 years ago by someone I thought was a friend. I've since forgiven her for my own soul's wellbeing. since then I've developed depression and a major anxiety disorder that has just almost paralyzed me at times. I vowed to never have another marketing job in life. I got sick and tired of being sick and tired so I decided to not let my FEAR paralyze me anymore. I got another marketing job working with physicians to walk through it. I did this with your help. I was just beating my self up when this popped up. thank you for validating that it is OK to sit on the side of the mountain. you saved my life when I couldn't see anyway out of that dark place. Thank you!

This is so breath taking, sit down on the side of your mountain 🏔️ but not too long. Oooh, when my friend in business betrayed me like this it took you 28 hours but it took me 4 months to recover and restrategize and go back at it again, yes it did broke my heart but I prayed God make me whole, help me to forgive her and he did! and he restored everything that I lost. 🙏

Wow, just what I needed to be confirmed. When I first got this news I thought about my past and I could not think of anything that hurt me as much. I thought about the days of prostitution, homelessness, drug addiction and all the abuse... I overcame all that. But May 2018 all that I had already overcome did not compare to the news I received, for a moment I thought this would destroy me for sure I could not stop crying. 1 week and a few days later I was scheduled to speak at a conference called 'NO MORE TEARS". My response was to everyday meditate and medicate on Psalms 29:11. "God has given me strength and He blesses his people with peace. I am one of his people therefore I expected strength and peace and there it was. I still do have moments but I refuse to stop.Listening to you today was what I needed to hear...I was having a moment......Keep me in your prayers. By the way God spoke through me at the conference like as if nothing happened. If fact the news prepared me for the speaking engagement. Everything really does work together for my good, everything!!

Lisa Nichols I have been following for years now. And your story have always help me to break through and break free. I absolutely LOVE. Thank you for being open and transparent. Thank you for tapping into your inner being and identifying the golden nuggets you share with us. I want you to know that you are indeed a life changer. Generational break through are wrapped up into all of us. Hence, when you help us to break through, you are helping tje next, and the next to break through as well. I am better able to serve myself because of the affirmation I have been using. Today, my take away is, "Not to react to every situation and then play the blame game to say you made me do it". I LOVE YOU LISA NICHOLS💛

Thank you Lisa. I've been frozen for the last 20 years trying to find my true self/purpose for the last six years. You have lit a fire inside of me. I'm getting to a place where life is coming together and I am starting to figure it out. Thank you again Lisa. You are God sent.

yes!yes!! What an amazing testimony Lisa.I am a sleeping giant waking up to his greatness! Thank You,Lisa!

Lisa Nichols is simply oxygen! I have to admit it I cannot go a day without listening to her!

Lisa.... I have been listening to you and reading your books for many years. I would often look for more from you on RU-vid and I feel like I had searched RU-vid for videos to no avail. Then, you created your own channel. THANK YOU! I have been listening and sharing your videos because many of them resonate with me. This one in particular resonated with me because I am going through an ugly part of my life, but through your story, I've found peace through a lot of ugliness I have experienced. This story has once again helped me in one of my darkest hours. Thank you for standing in your truth and being an inspiration to many. You've helped me to find my purpose and I am on my way to greatness. Thank you for every word you've written, spoke, and continue to share. I will keep listening, sharing, and writing notes!

Ms. Lisa, this has really made me think about the many times I've compromised myself from being hurt, taking advantage of and mistreated. I had to own my own happiness, and realize that hurt people hurt others. I set boundaries from them and decided to rebuild my mountain. I got stuck for a minute, cried silently, and prayed. God restored my strength and I got ME back. It may take me sometime, but I am moving upwards and forward. I purposely fill my spirit with goodness, and the Word of God, and continue to revisit areas that I know I need to strengthen and meditate and envision where I want to be as a spiritually successful woman. Truly thank you for your courage.

I am from Suriname. A country in South America. This was just what I needed to hear. Everything was so blurry when I didn't even know if I still had a job or not. Didn't know where to start again. Trust, shame and betrayal looked like they were taking over. It was as if I had to see and hear this today. Thanks a million miss Lisa Nichols. Hope I get to meet you in person one day. Your videos do me so much good. Hope you be blessed more to keep inspiring and helping people get out of the dark places in their lives.😘😘😘

Your vulnerability is one of your gifts Lisa. I cried as you cried in this video as you describe being violated in your trust of your business. The power of oneself to pause not stop to stragezie to keep going forward not tumble down your mountain. But to allow your personal blood tribe to embrace you as regroup to continue the fight for happiness and successful. Thank you for being a light this world ..this country needs of a positive force of energy and love and wisdom to battle the darkness and negatively that does exist. I thank you my sister as you came in my life when God knows I needed to rediscover myself again and peel my layer of potential.

Lisa one of the reasons why I connect w/you is how down to earth you are. How you share your life experiences so it may benefit others. I am glad the Lord helped you through that tough time and you are back on your feet. Girl even though it cost you a mil, the Lord provided that mil so you may get past and through it. You are divinely blessed and yes I believe you are my sister even though we have not met physically, we met before we agreed to manifest our physical presence on this earth, in this moment in time. Yes we have met many times, we have spoken many times and we agreed you would take this path to enlighten and encourage me and others who may have forgotten who we are and how great we are. Love you so much my sister and hope to meet you in the flesh one day. In the meantime say Blessed Always.

Thank you. . . . Shutting down and withdrawing has been, and is the biggest hurdle I face. Thank you for letting me know I'm not the only one. I recognize that if I'd kept fighting some things may have turned out different. So now I have to just press play.

Lisa, thank you for your comment. I wanted to quit so many times. I just feel stuck.

Thank you Lisa, I am for the first time saying that I was knocked down, devastated and even paralyzed by a silent business partner stealing my business from me. it has taken me over 2012 till today, to realize it. I forgave them, relocated by GOD for ministry, had several personal/educational successes, my marriage became better but professionally I have been stagnant and didn't understand why. After shedding many tears I now know that I have to trust again and move forward in my professional life. May GOD bless you abundantly for your labor of love. I am going to push reset and forgive myself while getting back up. Shantell

THANK YOU! This video was truly on time. As I sat in my own shut down moment, the notification for this video popped up. I almost didn't watch but "something " urged me to listen. It seems like every time I decide to take a step forward a distraction from who I was or life in general comes along. I totally talk myself out of pushing forward and begin to spiral down this hole. It never occurred to me that I am not alone. Listening to your story reminds me that stuff happens to everyone AND I get to choose how to respond. You also taught me that I can grieve the pain/shock of the distraction AND still choose to move forward. I am learning that it doesn't have to be "either or." It can be both AND that's ok. ;) Thanks a million, Lisa!

Lisa, I sit here with tears rolling down my cheeks (AGAIN). Thank you for so honest & authentically sharing your pain with us. This made me realize just how far I've come in my journey. I am not the women I was 10 yrs ago (THANKFULLY) I am not the women I was 5yrs or 2 yrs or even 3 month's ago. For many many year's, for as long as I can remember I reacted rather than responded. All of my relationships fell apart due to my explosive reactions and inability to take ownership for them. Without realizing it, I was handing over my power left right & center, leaving me stuck in a repetitive vicious cycle. After I got clean & sober & gave my life to the Lord (3 yrs ago) I had the biggest realization I've ever had!!! I'd always thought the problem layed in everyone else BUT the ah'ha moment then was when I looked myself straight in the mirror & realized I WAS THE COMMON DENOMINATOR!!! I realized that thru my entire life up until that moment, I had never authentically took ownership of me, my reactions & just how they've affected other people. How my explosive anger made other people feel & how it left me feeling powerless! I live my life taking full responsibility for me, for everything that is encompassed in me. It is definitely a journey & I sometimes get off course BUT being 100% conscious about this has allowed me to find the nessecary avenues to release old pattern's & with A LOT of me work I'm finally on the right path. Today's A'HA moment made me realize that I have been frozen on my mountain... I've been wondering why everything seems to be taking so long. It's because, I've been frozen. So, today, this moment, I am getting back on the trail that leads up to my beautiful peak. I am ready for my blessed hike to the best version of me! Thank you Lisa, I appreciate more than words! xo

Honey, I am your sister from 'down under' NZ.. I am wiping my tears while typing you. I love your power, your strength, cause I draawwww from it. Let me just thank you, and bless you today. I love you and your podcast. xx

Lisa I'm sorry about your work situation, I'm sure it'll get better especially with an amazing mindset like yours :)

My Beloved Sister Lisa, your words has me in tears, I have been sitting still and afraid to move because i have had one thing after another after another happened to me, my health, my finances, my relationships that most days i feel like i cant breathe. And all i keep telling myself that GREATER DAYS ARE AHEAD, but Lisa when i look up there is another mountain there i have to overcome, so thank you for sharing and always for being authentic. I appreciate you, your message and your story, you give me hope that a single mother from Atlanta can also live her dreams. I love you beloved and thank you, thank you, thank you for who you are!

I am sitting down and getting ready to get up, thank you for the inspiration, even the inspirational responses, teaching me how to be in love with my self

As you have always said and keep on saying, Lisa. Our stories don't belong to us but to inspire others. I today as a 16 years old male have cried tears from this story, one that hit me hard, like you say it, BOL! It has been and will always be such a great lesson and I will never forget the feeling I got from this video especially from your story. That at each mountain there will be hard times and it depends on the way you choose to respond to it and consider the domino effect of your actions, and in those hardships I will decide to not only respond but to finish climbing those mountains even if it takes me couple or many times to pause and catch my breath. Thank you, Lisa! This IS my Tribe

You made me cry, Lisa. Let out these tears that I ve been sucking in since I started climbing this mountain. Getting close to the mountain top is where I face the most difficult challenges....I will sit , I'll catch my breath and I'll get back up. Lisa you've been my mentor and you don't even know it. I'll get a chance to tell you face to face. I bless God for your life Lisa. I had frozen at a certain point in time, when I got hit by anxiety attacks. they were so overwhelming that I almost gave up on my dream, I thought it was the end of me and slowing I began to fall into depression...I was actually giving up on myself. After watching your videos, I got out of bed for the first times in weeks, with fear in my belly and I decided to make one needle point move at a time. Panic attacks had dominated me long enough! I held fear in one hand and passion in the other and I leaped! I had to face my fears, and I was affraid of the fears I had inside of me, but I was not going to let them destroy my life, so I faced them boldly. Today I m a changed person, I no longer give in to fear, in fact when I am affraid to do something, especially one which can catapult me to where I want to go, I do it affraid, I do it anyway, and fear dissipates. The obscurity of the night is always more intense before dawn so I know like I know like I know, that I will get there.

Wow. Good timing, dear lady. I have just been deceived and the results could potentially devastate my whole life. I am 64, low income, in college, on the dean's list, taking accelerated business courses to change my life and facing eviction due to circumstances and the incompetence of someone in my rental office. I want so much to spit nails, rant, and rail but I will not. I will sit n the side of the enormous mountain that I have been scaling so earnestly, and put things in perspective. I will strategize and then I will act with wisdom. Thank you .so very, very much for your guidance and your priceless humanity. May you ne covered with blessings.

BOL it's not that we get hurt or betrayed or hit by injustice. That we move through it and become stronger is our power! Love you and wishing blessings on you!

"The mountain top is still there, and it still BELONGS to ME!" WOW! thank you Lisa, that spoke to ME!

1- She looks fierce here. This hairdo and color are everything on her. Now...I LOVE this message! My BOL= Its ok to pause, but DONT STOP!

BOL!! Sitting on the side of my mountain! Wow! Needed permission to do that after only being told to climb it!! Everyone needs a moment to regroup, rest, reflect and reactivate to finish the climb.

PS. I shut down for years, frozen w/fear so I am divinely blessed for you to be lead to talk about this and share your experience so I/we know that we should keep going no matter how dark it may seem. Thanks again Lisa. My heart is filled w/much love for you.

#BOL My God My God!!! You spoke to my soul with the "Stop reacting and start responding" piece... I have been working on this for the past few months as my husband and I are rebuilding our marriage by laying a strong foundation. Due to past situations, I have triggers. When a trigger arises, I immediately react negatively, I shutdown/freeze and shatter the foundation. In those moments I feel a though I have EVERY right to react given his actions or inactions... But you just chin-checked me so hard and set me straight Ms. Lisa! I thank you for allowing God to use you as His vessel to speak the hard truths to His children!!! Thank you for your transparency!!!

Ms. Nichols.... I don't know where to begin. All I can say is I am so blessed to have discovered you. My son and I are currently in a position that I can't begin to tell you how tough it is. Because of the public forum.. I can't say what we are dealing with. I just wanted to say this video was made for me. I have been frozen for 15years. As I write this I have tears in my eyes. Every time I feel like I can't make it.. I turn you on. I Will be in Chicago to see you because it's time ! for me and my baby it's time!! God has anoitted you and use you to save lives. You are saving mines and I say thank you.

#BOL !!!!!!!!!! “I staggered up”..... Lisa I felt this in my soul !!!!! Every single time by the grace of God I am so close to tears because I felt that very deeply !!!! Every time , I GOT UPPPPP!!!

Oh My GOD! LISA!!! #BOL I hadn't realized that the "Proverbial" Cat has had my tongue for years, by not Speaking my truth and by not using my voice to SPEAK over my life, my destiny, my future into existence. I can't freeze, I must push past the fear of success AND the fear of failure (WOW...what an oxymoron!) by using my voice to SPEAK MY TRUTH! #IAMOR I Love You, Lisa! Thank you for how you show up in the world! You have changed my life forever! #YouRock ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

OMG, Sister Lisa - Your face when you said “I probably stepped on your toe”... RAW. REAL. Let me put my big girl pants on when I say this - SHUTTING DOWN is my signature move. Lisa, on this #29th hour I realized that freezing removed me from BOTH the hurt & the reward (BOL here 🙏). Mahalo & ALOHA.

Yes girl! Standing on the story. You’ve literally changed my life. I have my dream job because of your book !

yes YES! when my grandmother in law died, i was down for the count, and from that i birth my dream of owning a business. i day dreamed about it so much that i got fired from my dream job in 8 months of being there. so i started my business 3 months after being fired. Landed a few clients immediately, but i got scared after they could not pay me anymore. i tried to go back to work for 2 months and got fired from 3 jobs. Down for the count again. Now im back up! It's been a journey. Glad someone sent me your video. your video got me out the bed many mornings. Now im able to stand on my own, and get my business up and running again, building my team, and volunteering to help me grow. Love the book Abundance Now! Gave me Life! and the audiobook (the secret)..yes YES!

Lisa! This one made me cry. I have been frozen for over 2 years and on top of it, I had several betrayals in that time. Your words came at the exact moment I had decided to make the change to move forward and not live in the past. I decided to take back my power - what a powerful moment - YES! YES!

Thank you so much for sharing your story! You confirmed that we are not alone, and I love the mountain analogy. Sitting down does not mean we need to stop....Strategize!!

You spoke right into my heart today... I had a business that I worked so hard for, it took years to build. After some people began telling untruths and stayed on it until my company closed. I was devastated, it devastated my health, finances, family... It has taken 9 months but in the past three weeks I have started to stand back up. Thank you for being real.. an inspiring women.

Lisa... you beautiful beautiful soul... 🙏🙏🙏 Thank you for making the side of the mountain I'm resting on, somehow feel ok and tolerable today. Your words were water for a thirsty soul, courage for a questioning spirit and fuel for an empty tank. You truly are doing what you've always been meant to do. You are living your epic adventure of a lifetime and in doing so, you brought back a spark. It was like a Lisa Nichols magic wand that made it ok to be not ok in this moment. Thank you for showing up in life and living your purpose. You made a difference in my dismantled life and reminded me that all things are temporary and meant for our greatest good. I needed this message today. I'm grateful for it and I'm grateful for you. Thank you thank you thank you. Yes, YES! 🦋🤗🦋 hugs and love yo you

Well, you got to the heart of me again Lisa :) Thank you for being vulnerable and undeniably strong at the same time. I sometimes find it hard to watch you because I am also a strong black woman and it's still new to see someone so unapologetically portray the beauty, strength and amazing qualities that I have in my own way. But that's only on the days that I try to be invisible with the misguided notion that I can protect myself from pain that way. You are a shining star Lisa, always reminding me of who I truly am: vulnerable and undeniably strong. Forgiveness is my friend and so are you. I love you too.

Thank you Lisa! You touched my heart with your experience. I have been recovering from a past difficult relationship these last 9 months. I've learned so much about my own shortcomings and letting others be who they are. I'm learning what it means to find peace in my heart and mind by focusing on things that are really important instead of dwelling on the past hurt. Bit by bit my life is transforming more into the kind of life I desire to live. Thank you for your loving inspiration!

Got back up this morning from feeling betrayed. Stayed 3 days in bed, but ready to recapture my dreams. Set up healthy boundaries speaking my loving thoughts out loud. Your message is right on time for me today. #BOL Claim the day to claim me! Love you Lisa !

Thank you for this! I'm sitting at work and the tears would not stop coming. I just realized that I've been sitting on the side of my mountain for many years.... wow. The opportunities, the assistance and the love that has past me by just became clear. I gave away my power and was mad at everyone for my circumstances. I shut down and stayed there but Lisa your story inspires me. I'm and going to be wobbly but I am getting up! After all these years of harboring bad feelings because of things my family did, I am going to get up and start moving again! Thank you!

I have been frozen in time because of loss and am trying to "renew" my life. Somewhere I missed my footing in climbing my mountain. Slowly trying to regain strength with recovery appearing to be so far away, I've got my second wind because of this video. When we lose and/or have been betrayed, it's like a sucker punch. Being in many a fights, I don't ask why. I get up and strategize on ways of preventing this from happening again or if the situation causes me to have to fight my way out, I do that. This has been a "you can do it" moment for me. Thank you Lisa.

Lisa, I'm so inspired by your content and interviews. I've been frozen for 2 years and I've slowly been coming back into motion. Thank you for your words and intention. They have always lifted me up and out of an old perspective I kept on viewing life through. You are so very appreciated and loved. :)

I'm just recovering from my moment where my whole world has been crashing down...I loved hearing that it is ok to stop and ponder on it . but now I'm going to stand back up and live my life fuller and more stronger than ever before...packages wrapped in sandpaper ..I'm learning they are the best

I opened up RU-vid, which must have been divine, after laying on the floor of my design studio. The overwhelming feelings of sadness and disappointment were intense. As I'm climbing the mountain of entrepreneurship, I find myself face-to-face with years of bad habits. I've been sitting on the sideline of my own life. The realization of being my own saboteur put me in a state of mind that was negative. My reaction was to retreat; to lay on the floor. As I scrolled through videos, this one came up. My spirit instructed me to click on. Listening to you was comforting. Understanding the difference between a response and a reaction is life changing. I'm not fully ready to get up and continue to climb my mountain but I have to. Time isn't on my side; I have a deadline. Still, knowing that I can ignore the negative thoughts and choose to put one foot in front of the other is helpful.

Lisa, my sister . You make me cry for what happen with you and how your son took care of you. I am not alone and I have encouraged for the situation I am in now! God bless you!

this video touched me I'm in serious break down with my mom and I'm hurting we have a volatile relationship and i do more reacting than responding and after every argument i end up feeling horrible and ashamed that I would ever raise my voice or speak foul to my mother the person i love so much and wants approval from i realize that i do react more than respond in several situations l'm on the journey of changing this before i pass these habits along to my beautiful twin daughters i don't want them to ever feel how I've felt my whole life I'm working on becoming a better me to be better for them i am so happy i have found you i purchased your book and look forward to reading and starting my self healing

Thank you for this Lisa! #BOL. Press pause, sit down at the side of the mountain and catch your breath. Time to choose response over reaction. Peace & Blessings!

Stay in movement...i am a single mother and my son and I are so close... wow I am new here and I must say it feels so great to have found this tribe and my sister in prosperity. Yes yes!!! I currently signed a contract to work with some kindergartens who have mental and behavior problems. An assistant is not provided and the pay is definitely below value. However I decided to sit still to hear what God wants me to do with these precious babies. The administration has not been helpful. As they continue to pile work on top of work. There is no bathroom in the classroom. The children stopped up the classroom toliet next door. I had to fill up a water pale to attempt to correct the problem.i clean the bathrooms once a week. This helps me remain focus.No body demand me to do this. I have choose to be of serve to these beautiful children.this video has help me by reminding me to respond not react to all the unfair treatment. Not to react to the lack of help or any other negative thing. I will stand and complete my assignments. I will not react although I must admit it is a challenge at times. I will only respond in love. Thank you so much Lisa Nichols

Oh Lisa what a miracle of Life you are. I've been avoiding watching and listening to you for quite awhile and this morning of the 13th of June 2017 I got the courage to watch this segment because I needed to hear what you had to say. I'm at a cross roads now after feeling put down, lonely and wondering why and how I made this happen. Your encouragement to "not freeze, not react..." is Brilliant. My style of behaving is to run and hide and blame. I'm so Grateful this morning to have listened to you and I am going to "Pause and not Freeze or React..." and get up and tackle what I need to do to get up again. Your son and my son must be Kindred Spirits because I'm Blessed to have a son that's always there for me too. Peace and Harmony. Marie Jonkers in Australia, Victoria.

I am standing still in finally removing the bandages & healing the wounds from childhood trauma... standing still in it to grown out of it instead of ignoring it. Thank you Lisa

Wow! I needed to hear this, I had been hit so hard this last year I was wondering how do I get back up, I learned from listening that I don't have to jump up right away an operate the way people expect me to. I can take my time, strategize and come back with more power, peace and wisdom than before. Thank you so much!!!!!

Healing takes time. What a simple sentence to describe hours and sometimes years of heartache, and longing to be whole. But it's worth it. I'm still working on moving the needlepoint a little every day but the important thing is it's moving. I'm moving forward and moving onto a greater version of myself.

Lisa, B.O.L.!!!! I am moved and inspired by the strength of your spirit and the commitment to your dream. My spirit is refreshed and Empowered! I am taking control of my life because "I AM" the #ONLY ONE who can rescue Me. And when anything or anyone knocks me down. I will always get back up and keep on climbing.

Am staggering up right now from a family betrayal. Your reminder to respond rather than react helped immensely. Love your deep wisdom Lisa!

Hi Lisa! I watched this video months ago but found myself rummaging through my video history tonight, 3am EST, to find this video again, bc I've recently been betrayed in a way that I've never experienced before, & it hurts SO. BAD. I was praying tonight as I've been doing several times a day since the betrayal happened on Thursday, & your face popped into my mind (thank you Holy Spirit). During my prayer I was affirming aloud that I've already got the victory & my hands were clutched bc I was holding the victory in my hand, tightly - I meant what I said. That's when spirit showed me your face. Thank you so much for making this video bc you're speaking my heart & mind about the feelings that come with being betrayed. You confirmed for me that I will continue to get up & fight to press forward in VICTORY, not in defeat. I, too, am so shocked that I've been deceived for nearly 4 yrs in a romantic relationship & am upset with myself but it'll pass. I just know, I mean I KNOW something powerful, wonderful, supernatural & amazing is coming from this. I know the same is happening & will continue to happen for you. God bless & continue to prosper you! #yana #iamor 💚💜

As I have been sitting.... No, laying down... I came across this message. Thank you Lisa for the truth, love, and encouragement to get up! To #BOL! To live! I needed this! Again, THANK YOU!!!

Well that was nothing short of amazing. I'm a registered nurse & had to sit down for a moment b/c my job hurt me. Overworked me & took my kindness for granted. I took a LOA for 4 months & made many sacrifices doing so in order to heal. I'm better now, climbing to the top of the mountain.

I'm sitting down now from shame and feeling ridiculed by my own actions and decisions in life. Realising the pain I've caused people that truly genuinely loved me. This waking up is really hard on me but I somehow get some strength to be able to taking deep breath and apologize to who have been reacting to. Some I just didn't react to when I should of. It's overwhelming and sometimes want to give up. I can't have to keep on pushing. Thank you for this message. It's a great feeling to know that we are not alone.

Great video! I love when people open up especially when you can influence those around you. Loved that you are showing that everybody goes trough stuff in their lives it's how you deal with it that forms you!

I can always come here to you when I need some inspiration! Thank you!

Lisa & Prosperity Tribe!!! I AM inspired to get up and out of being shut down. I AM on a come back y'all. Thank you for sharing this. It was e-xactly what I need to hear right at this moment! Wooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooow. #IAMOR #BTOL #NMRK #YESYES

Definitely Ms. Lisa. I used to react with anger all the time. I came to the realization years ago that I couldn't keep reacting to anything the ways I did. This was definitely a reminder for me as to how much I've grown and where I don't want to go back too.

This is a helpful episode, because bad people are always out there. We just grow in being able to spot them.

I'm on Day 10 of a 28 Day cycle of creating a new habit of jogging daily. This is my 3rd cycle of 28 days to create a habit of daily jogging. Today, I woke up without willpower or motivation to jog. My body woke up automatically this morning and was ready to jog. I slid out the bed, put on my workout gear and hit the pavement. I had one of my best jogs this morning. I realized, I no longer need willpower or motivation to jog, it's literally a habit now. Wow! I appreciate you Lisa saying, focus on one needle point move at a time.

I had to pause for 4 months this past year. It was after one of the fall out of one of the most difficult relationships and the ending of a job that did not serve me occurred. I was frozen in my depression. I choose not to react and to just feel until I felt ready to get back up. I remember crying and wailing about not just those occurances however everything that had let up to the events in my life were fully because of my giving away my power and control. I had a dark night of the soul at that time. It wasn't until 3 months ago that one day I finally picked myself up. I took baby steps to start to introduce myself again to society. I had found boundaries and the power of my no. You're videos greatly helped me. Now I'm in a career I like working towards love and my primary focus is to keep falling madly in love with myself. Thank you for all you do.

My dear Lisa,if I didn't love you enough. Can I tell you, that you are the reason that I aspire to become a teacher/speaker. From the time I saw you at ALAS in 2015, I knew then that you were special. I've been following you for sometime and I can see your transformation. I cannot put into words what how inspired I am by you. I had the pleasure of meeting you last year in Arizona at ICON 16, you signed your book Abundance Now. Then I was so star struck I didn't ask you the right questions. But I have grown a lot since then as I am in the middle of my transformation. I know that we are not suppose to want to be like other people but rather be our own person. BUT one thing I know for sure, one day I want to inspire those like you have inspired me. I have been frozen for 4 years and I am slowly thawing out. You know how you just know, that is where I am right now in this moment. Thank you for being YOU

My #BOL! If I get tired while climbing the mountain it's okay to sit down. But GET UP! Because the mountain is still there! The TOP OF THE MOUNTAIN IS MINE! I so needed this today...Thank you Thank you for sharing yourself like you do! I didn't want to get up today. I got a reminder on my phone to listen to your video.... Sometimes we can be so deep in our own funk that we need to hear others positive thoughts because we can't see past our stuff...Thank you again!!!

I have played this 5 times this morning already and shared it with 6 others. This story you shared is so relevant to my current situation. I have been riddled with anxiety and have been “frozen” in despair. You encourage me to take another breath and stand back up and move into response, not reaction. Thank you Lisa!

LISA, you are a true inspiration indeed. So many rich light bulb moments... Through my life I often find myself sensoring what I say to spare the feelings of others. When they don't do the same for me...I realized it was ok when you basically said. (Respond don't Re-act. When you Re-act you gave your Power Away. Be Responsible for what You Say, You Think and You Do)...I no longer feel stepped on or rolled over for choosing to respond and not re-act ... I feel Powerful..

Thank you for putting things into perspective for us, Lisa. You are a trooper! Love you!💞

I have been working on myself this lockdown as I haven’t been able to work for anyone else and it’s really given me time to sit down and evaluate what principles I stand by and where I want to go and what I want to do with my life. As I wasn’t working and I’ve been used to working from when I left school I felt worthless in someways. Then through working on myself and making a clearer vision for myself I was able to come out of feeling bad for myself and my situation abs making the best of what I had which lead me to prepare for unexpected moments that changed my perception and helped me reach goals. That wouldn’t have been possible if I was the same person as before so now I trust my journey more and have more faith in myself and the universe to pull through for me. Thank you Lisa

Several times I had to pause... when I lost my caretakers in High School, going through temporary mental illness, and one of the biggest pauses was leaving my church of 38 years...each time took my breath away and even now I have to find a reason to get up.. I spend the majority of my day pouring into and being available to everyone else without being refreshed. Now I'm learning through your videos how to refresh myself.

Oh Lisa, It is so authentic to let your child have the great lesson of seeing you vulnerable and human. My parents did not let me see this until I was an adult. I had to discover who they were as an adult was somewhat different from the strength I saw as a child. I saw pain and indecision even missed a opportunity but it helped me accept a lot in myself and I stopped blaming myself and others for situations realizing it is all in my perception and action as to how the situation manifests. I am learning to balance pain with hope and plan redemption through giving myself a thousand 2nd chances. That is my BOL.

Yes, yes and oh, yessss! this message completely blessed me. I needed this so much. thank you, Lisa!!!

Lisa you have touched me so much this morning ...i'm sitting here in tears listening to you tell my story to me. I have heard of you Lisa over the years but today i Found you! Thank you Lisa you speak to me you speak to my truth & saying it out loud is whats makes me own it. It's 11/08/17 4:43 am & Finally told myself the truth I am depressed and i need to get up today & MOVE!!!

Thank you for your transparency! I've recently had to reboot/shutdown sort of speak and am now easing my way back into action. I've been hard on myself because it came unexpectedly but was much needed in order to make necessary adjustments in my life. Thank you for sharing Lisa! It's comforting to know that YANA.

Grand rising Lisa. The God in me also sees the God in you💞. I would just like to say I do not listen to a multitued of motivational speakers as It is my soul that gravitates to the particular speaker and I would like to say my soul has severely gravitated to you, and now when I wake up I start my day with your uplifting spirit to carry your words through my day. Lisa thank you so much for being you. Peace, love and progress.💞💞💞

Lisa! You are an amazing lady! I have been watching your messages wow! I just can say you speak with your heart and the messages has been hitting inside of me, is like you are talking to me directly, thank you for letting me see that I can do great things in I put my mind and heart on it!

I only had one word in my mind during this whole video..."wow". Thanks for being vulnerable with us Lisa. It also allows us to be vulnerable, rest and get back up again. Much love from Sydney, Australia.

I'm starting to get the difference between reacting and responding. It took me time but now i can feel the direction that i'm heading to. Thanks for making it even clearer!

Love you Lisa ❤️ I’m proud of you and I thank you for this. I can relate. I’ve gotten good at sitting down and getting up. It’s a blessing to know that it’s a good thing to be able to do. Thank you. Yes Namaste Sister Love received & I love you too
