How do you take inspired action and what does that look like? Imagine you are waking up from a peaceful nights rest. You flow out of bed and into the shower. As you are bathing you get this amazing idea! You cannot wait to find someone to share your idea with. You are sure with the right help and coordination this idea will have a huge impact with so many people. You are pumped up and ready to go. Then you get out of the shower and the phone rings. It is your nanny and she is sick and can't help you with your kids today. You completely understand and instead of jumping into your work clothes you slide on a pair of sweats and a cozy sweatshirt. You are a little worried now about how you are going to get what you wanted to accomplish done today. Then you recognize this is part of your responsibility of having children that are small and aren't in school yet. You know you can work from home but there is a small "let down" feeling in your stomach but you say "life happens; I will get to it tomorrow." You call the people who you were going to meet and reschedule your plans. The day goes on and you are able to accomplish some administrative tasks but nothing you really wanted to do. So what happened? What happen to all that inspiration you had in the shower?
Inspiration is something that excites you. It literally pulls you into action. The problem with inspiration is you can lose it as fast as you received it. In the above example you were about to take on a huge idea that could have the potential to impact many people. Yet once you received that call your inspiration was soon covered up by your worry and rescheduling. This is completely normal to worry about rescheduling and taking care of your kids at the same time. The reality is that people get sick and we still have responsibilities to our children and most of all we have responsibilities to ourselves. The responsibility to yourself is to live in that inspired state. So how is that done? How do you move and take inspired action with all of the requirements of your daily life?
The first step in living and taking inspired action is to recognize when you are inspired. Keep your focus and proclaim out loud that you are inspired. Saying something with conviction and out loud is very powerful. It literally cements your inspiration into your physical life. You will not forget it if you say it out loud, "This is inspiring and I want to do something about it!" It may seem silly and even a little too easy but have you tried it? Being inspired enough to make a claim to it will help move you into the next crucial step. www.willpawa.blogspot.com
