take inspired action.

I’m currently sitting here working on another sweater, knitting away + listening to Gabby’s newest book “ you are the guru” I’m into the 3rd chapter and her words “ take inspired action” was all I heard and I grabbed my computer and started writing this post. It’s so easy for me to let things live in my head and savor, ponder the feelings of all I want to create and do… I slip off into day dreams and feel like its all already happened and yet nothing has actually been created yet lol ! At times I’ve convinced myself that I’ve already done it and my wheels start moving so fast that I’m exhausted before I start ( I’ve caught myself in this multiple multiple times). Yet when I look at my pile of wool it’s a good reminder that nope, my head thoughts have yet not been created. For myself lists I love, yet I’ve been finding that it becomes way to overwhelming, kinda like hoping on the ol gram and feeling like you wanna hurl because to be honest, it’s too much information coming at me, yet I am CHOOSING to jump on. BUT those feelings have been happening more and more + when it does it also gives me an opportunity to look at my own actions in why I have the need to “pop” on. ( I’m also not dissing anyone who is on there a lot…. I’m speaking from my own current reactions from in ) So I’ve been tuning out and tuning into the few accounts that bring some laughter and joy and some deep resonating. Much like the lists and having only a few things on there, I’m choosing to do the same with social media.

Moving from inspired action whatever it may be, instead of programmed action and the ability to catch yourself in it, is pretty awesome. I don’t wanna gap out anymore… except for when I’m creating art or out in nature etc, to the things that connect me more to myself and my own understandings, I’ll always say a hell yes to that!

And lastly I wanted to say that taking inspired action doesn’t have to make sense, you don’t need to analyse the hell out of it, if it’s doing what excites you and creates this ease, fun and playfulness with absolutely no outcome to it, even better. Being of the creative mind entrepreneur kinda mindset it’s hard to pull myself out of that because when things are created I instantly see potential and all the things that go with it, however this play inspired action is a good practice to be in where what matters in it is, are you having any fun?! If it’s yes then have at it! …and if it’s no, then that’s the beauty of being able to choose again and following what it is you need in that/those moments. We don’t have to wait to “become” the title of the thing we want to do…. really we don’t have to wait for anything, the starting IS the becoming.

“Inspired action clears the path” ….little Gabby B. words to leave you with.

Enjoy the day people! till next time ….
