Today I want to make the distinction between taking action and taking inspired action.

If your predominant feeling is of overwhelm, not enough hours in the day, too much to do and not knowing where to start, chances are that you aren’t taking inspired action. You may be taking ‘required’ action or ‘tired’ action, but not inspired action.

You will find that your path to becoming a Client Magnet runs far more smoothly when you are taking Inspired Action. If you feel like you are bumping into one obstacle after another, or simply finding it hard to get motivated, you are probably taking action which is required or tired, but it definitely isn’t inspired.

When you are following inspiration, you don’t need to think about motivating yourself, because the desire to do it comes naturally. Inspired action is naturally pleasurable and enjoyable. It usually has a sense of ease around it too. You don’t need to force yourself in the way you need to get required action done.

Taking inspired action is the opposite to how most of us approach our lives. The typical formula goes something like…

• see a problem,
• set a goal to address it,
• work out what actions you need to take to reach the goal, then
• motivate yourself to take those actions, however unappealing they may be.

In contrast, the inspired action approach goes something like this:
• set your intentions for what you want,
• visualise it as though it is already happening for you.
• Get into the feeling place of already having it, and
• allow the inspired action to come to you.

Now some people have a thought that pops into their mind immediately. You might get a picture, or a word or phrase. The more you practice this, the easier it becomes to receive the inspired action. You will probably develop your own unique method of recognising an inspired action.

The next thing to do is follow up on that thought!

There is often a sense of co-incidence or perfect synchronicity when you take an inspired action.
