To Act or Not Act…that is the question!
When I first started learning all about manifesting, I often found myself struggling to understand when and if I was supposed to take action. I mean, the movie The Secret focused so much on asking, believing and receiving that I was confused about what exactly I should be doing.
Here’s what I learned…
Inspired action is key.
To be honest, there are lots of things to remember when it comes to manifesting with ease, but this one is particularly important.
Inspired action is essentially acting on the thoughts and ideas that pop into your mind even (and especially) when they don’t make much sense or seem connected to what you are trying to manifest. In fact, MOST of the time, the ideas that pop up for me don’t make traditional “sense” and at the time I can’t see how they might be connected to anything I’m manifesting.
The Universe likes speed so when you get an idea for something…(for me it’s often a program idea, video topic, or some other seemingly “random” thought) it’s important for you to act on it as quickly as possible.
Remember, the Universe operates using the path of least resistance and while we can’t always see the path laid out before us or how this particular action might connect to our desires, the Universe has a plan and is supporting always us through our ideas.
What most people do (before they understand this concept) is think about, analyze, wonder, and worry about the action they feel inspired to take. They weigh their options and ultimately allow the energy of that idea to fizzle out before they take action (if they take action at all).
Has that ever happened to you?
Have you ever gotten a seemingly random idea for something and you question it, discount it, or analyze the heck out of it?
If so, you are not alone. Listen, I’ve talked myself out of a ton of ideas that came to me because they just didn’t make any sense at the time.
In fact, just recently I’ve found myself potentially falling back into that space with an idea that just won’t go away! (I’ll share more on that in just a moment.)
Over the years, I’ve had some incredibly magical moments unfold just by following my inspiration and taking action even when it didn’t quite “make sense”. Every time I followed the feeling, the nudge, and the inkling and I have never been disappointed. If you learn to follow your nudges and ideas, I promise you won’t be disappointed either.
When was the last time you felt inspired or called to do something that maybe you weren’t quite sure about?
While most of us think of “inspiration” as a huge lightbulb moment or a lightening strike, it often doesn’t feel like that at all.
In my experience, inspiration often floats in seemingly quietly and if you don’t catch it, it has a tendency to move on its way. There are times however, when the thought comes back over and over and over again.
Inspiration is awesome, but if you don’t act on it, it’s nothing more than a seemingly random thought that could be the difference between manifesting what you want or not.
Recently I was hit with one of those relentless ideas that at the time just didn’t quite make sense. In fact, in some ways it seemed a little “crazy” to me because it’s never been something I’ve thought about before. But alas, the thought wouldn’t leave, so today I’m acting on it.
Inspired Action Made Me Do It
Over the past several months I’ve been focusing on getting healthy and developing a regular workout routine not only for my body, but for my mind as well. I know that when I commit to a routine I feel 100% better and I tend to be happier, more at peace and more productive in my business so it’s a win all the way around.
I’ve talked a little bit about this on Facebook and in a few emails to you, but recently I’ve felt called to share more of my journey. I’ve felt inspired to talk a bit more about the mind/body connection, how mindset plays a role in our health and wellness and how and the challenges I’ve had at staying consistent on this journey.
So…after lots of back and forth and wondering if this is something I “should” be doing or not, I’ve decided I’m going to follow the thought and do it, but I’ll only be sharing this journey with those of you who are explicitly interested in my health and fitness journey.
My plan is to send one email per week with some of the tips, tools, and strategies I am using to stick to my routine and overcome the mindset challenges that often come with keeping your health and fitness on track. I’m not 100% sure where it will go from there, but I’m excited to see where it leads.
So, if you want some inspiration, accountability, and to pack your toolbox with strategies to help you focus a bit more on living a healthy life, feel free to sign up for my Mind Body Move emails here.
And if not, no big deal. You will still get amazing support and resources for mindset, manifesting, and living your best life right here as you always have!
So now you know the importance of acting on your inspired thoughts and how it powers up your manifestations, what action do you need to take right now??
