In a Funk? Try this….
Dear Savvy Woman,
This is in ’Life Improvement 101′, and it will amaze me when I forget it in my own life - which I can and do!
Although recently I began implementing it into new areas of my life – some areas I hadn’t given myself permission to apply this to in the past – and it’s simply rocking my world!
Do you want to rock your world – shake things up a little bit with yourself?
Well, then….Drum-roll please…
Take INSPIRED actions, only. What do I mean by this? Well, I can bet you are like most of us living in this modern life, which is that we are leading very busy lives. So busy in fact that often everything just kind of runs together, gets more and more busy and overwhelming, and eventually you either flat-line in apathy (maybe without knowing it) or you stay on the merry-go-round getting so out of touch with your authentic self and without a minute to spare. But that’s truly it’s own topic that deserves it’s own attention.
Taking INSPIRED action means both responding to things if and when you feel inspired to do so. It also applies to -quite beautifully - when you are looking to do the BIG things; the steps that have you feeling trepidation because they are NEW and UNKNOWN.
The brilliance of this, and I can say I am continually surprised, is that energetically everything aligns when you take inspired action. Rather than operating from shoulds, indecision, or resentment, by taking inspired actions only you align with what’s true for you which aligns with the Universe and it just feels so light and breezy-easy.
This apples to everything from deciding what you want to do tonight, to who to call back, to placing calls for information-interviews while you’re job hunting. What happens is that we often act on reaction, or out of ‘musts’ and ‘shoulds’. We also wimp out when we don’t feel inspired and we’re facing something that feels daunting and unknown.
Things to do to get inspired and into action:
- Get a little quiet. Pause before you return a call from a negative friend and check in with yourself – is this a Yes or a No? Give yourself permission to say NO to doing something that may have just become habit.
-Tap into your VISION (don’t have one? search my blog for Vision Box, Mind Movies, etc). Does this action or response you’re looking to take align?
-When you’re stepping out & up into something new, focus on making decisions and taking inspired actions based on where you want to be, not from where you are currently.
Believe me, this isn’t always easy and it takes some awareness practice, but the dots connect and connect and like any good habit, it becomes easier and more natural as you go along. I promise.
Much love,
From my savvy heart to yours~
Leslie
