Journal Entry 002 | A Path Forward : Take Inspired Action
When you do what you fear, you take back your power.
(Like sharing this photo of myself, absolutely terrifying).
Yet, the truth is I love this photo and what it represents (taken on a yoga retreat earlier this year). It feels like an authentic version of who I am today, so why would I hide this part of myself? When we care too much about what other people think you give your power away.
I use to be this way, especially early on in my creative entrepreneurial journey. The way I would compare myself, my growth, my taste and success to others was crippling, debilitating at times. I was 23 years old and really didn’t understand or know anything about business, design, my mind or energetics. I just knew I was highly creative and could no longer work a 9-5. I has my dream job at a prestigious magazine but after about 6 months I became deeply depressed. It was a dark place and I told myself I would do my best to honour myself and my needs to never return to that lost, scared and hopeless place again.
Why do I share this story today? Because 10 years ago how I moved out of this dark place was taking INSPIRED ACTION. It was the only thing I could do to move forward and stop feeling terrible inside. Yet, I wasn’t conscious enough to know what I was doing and I forget what was intuitive.
Now, 10 years later my success in every business I’ve created is deeply attributed to this method. This is my secret to move myself from a fear state to a state of abundance and creativity every single time. Anytime I’m dealing with fear, overwhelm or lack of alignment and clarity, (which will always be part of the creative journey,) I now have the consciousness, tools and practices to move through them quickly. This is growth.
This ‘resistance’ to act or move the needle forward is a common theme among my 1:1 coaching clients recently, hence I wanted to share how inspired action works.
1. INSPIRED ACTION —— Do something you WANT to do, you LOVE to do, anything. Not something you think you SHOULD do or HAVE to do. Just for today create what feels 100% in-line with who you are. Create and share. Do YOU love it? That’s all that matters today.
2. ALIGNMENT ——— When we act out of aligned authenticity this creates natural alignment and clarity of who we really are in our psyches. Our subconscious and conscious become in-sync.
3. HIGHER VIBRATION ——— When this happens we emanate a higher vibrational frequency. You simply feel good about yourself.
4. MAGNETISM ——— Knowing who you are, what you love and sharing with the world creates magnetism. People feel this.
5. MOMENTUM ——— This comes with effortless consistency because it gets easier to share your work when you love what you create and it feels good while taking less energy.
6. FEAR TO TRUST ——— You begin to stop focusing on the fear and instead begin to trust yourself again and trust the process.
Fear is only a story. Today create a new story. That’s the only story that’s real. If you’re interested in learning more, having guidance and accountability on your journey, while also creating deep transformation.
