3 Aspects of Inspired Action

I’ve decided to host more Inspired Action Workshops and it has me thinking about what Inspired Action is.

I began by reflecting on my Inspired Action Coaching clients. Here is what I notice.

People who are inspired seem to take action effortlessly while those who are not have to figure out a way motivate themselves into action. If things come easy you are inspired. If things are difficult you are not.

If things are not coming easily, it’s probably because you are not inspired by what you are doing. Consider, if you are not inspired to do something it’s because you are not really interested in it. I often discover in the coaching process that people who have to force something to happen are trying to prove something to other people by taking the action. Therefore it’s not natural and you are not inspired.

Here are three aspects of Inspired Action

The first aspect of Inspired Action is a lack of fear, doubt or uncertainty about the future. In this state you are naturally inspired and in action. Fear will make you react vs. effortlessly accomplish. Doubt will stop you dead in your tracks. Uncertainty is the root of procrastination. When you remove fear, doubt and uncertainty, inspiration is natural.

The second aspect of Inspired Action is the feeling of being pulled forward. This happens when your future is exciting. You feel pulled forward because you are doing what you love and you are not trying to prove anything to anyone.

The third aspect of Inspired Action is being completely in the flow. When you are in a state of no fear, with a future that inspires you, then the right people at the right time just show up. When you are in this flowing state, circumstances seem to fall into place and unexpected, unexplainable good fortune happens constantly.

Let’s be honest. When you are in a state of inspiration, you get even more inspired by how easy, effortless and enjoyable everything is for you.

Be Outrageous This Week – you in?

You want to join me in doing something outrageous this week?

I’ve got a group of people working with me in my Transforming Fear into Action Class. Their assignment is to think of four outrageous actions that would catapult their life forward. Many were having troubles, even after we went through their entire life, rated their level of satisfaction in each category of life (see inspired action coaching page for all 10 categories) and identified what would make life a 10 in that area.

So, here are some ideas on outrageous things you could do this week that would terrify The Drunk Monkey and give yourself an opportunity to see your machine in action. When you see The Drunk Monkey trying to survive non-survival situations, you can recognize how foolish it is and choose to live your dreams instead.

  1. Start a new diet or exercise program
  2. Call someone you have been putting off calling
  3. Put a deposit down on a vacation
  4. Take a weekend trip
  5. Sign up for dance lessons
  6. Sign up for a dating service; call someone you want to date
  7. Take your current partner on a date
  8. Sign up for Marriage Counseling
  9. Go to church
  10. Pray
  11. Take your children out for a special adventure
  12. Take a day off
  13. Apologize to someone
  14. Go hang out with your parents, brothers, sisters etc.
  15. Call someone who you know it would make a difference for
  16. Feed the hungry
  17. Buy yourself something you’ve been putting off
  18. Do something you would never give yourself permission to do
  19. Call everyone in your family and tell them that you love them
  20. Get a colonic
  21. Quit your job
  22. Leave your current relationship
  23. Start a business

DO SOMETHING OUTRAGEOUS!! Something that will disrupt the continuity of your current life and put you on track to live your dreams now, not someday. What will you do?  Leave me a comment.
