What the frack?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Bear with me for a moment kids. Like anything else in life, there is a lot of nuance and complexity to working consciously with our energy. Nothing is black and white. We want to steer clear of absolutes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">There will be times when taking action is a great way to raise our vibration, and this is because taking the actions will help us create the expectation we will get what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But, these are the kind of actions that are making us feel good in some way, they are not the type of actions we are taking because we feel we have to take them or we can&#8217;t get what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">They are not the type of actions that feel badly, but we do them anyway, lest we can&#8217;t get our desired results.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We are not hinging everything on these actions. We are not getting attached to any specific outcome as a result of taking the action.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">They are not driven by fear, doubt or the desire to manipulate and control.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Let&#8217;s face it&#8230;the idea of not having to do much makes us uncomfortable and we can&#8217;t really buy into that. There are things we may feel compelled to do, and we&#8217;ll feel good that we did them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And if it makes us feel good, we are on the right track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Let me give you a few examples to illustrate my point.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you are totally aligned with your purpose and feel great about your products and services, it won&#8217;t matter a lick what your website looks like.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Steve Pavlina has one of the most popular personal development blogs out there, and at one point he was pulling in tens of thousands of dollars a month from advertising&#8230;it is one of the most basic looking websites you have ever seen. Clearly he was all good with it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But, if you are not feeling totally clear on the look of your website, and redesigning it would give you a boost in confidence and make you feel more professional and what have you, getting that new site can be a great boon for your energy, because it makes you feel better about succeeding with your business. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">I am currently looking into redesigning my website&#8230;not because I feel I &#8216;have to&#8217; but because it feels exciting to create something new and I envision a different look for it.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you are totally aligned with the idea of meeting someone, you won&#8217;t have to do a damn thing to let that person float into your orbit. But, it may make you feel better to participate a bit in the process by doing things that allow you to get out there and meet people.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Maybe you&#8217;ll join a dating site or let friends set you up on blind dates. So long as you remember it is your energy that is calling the shots and not the actions you are taking, it can be a great way to make you feel more hopeful that you can meet someone.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you are totally aligned with getting a better job, it won&#8217;t matter what your resume looks like, or whether you have certain types of experience that has been deemed to make you a more desirable candidate for a particular type of work.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But, paying someone to rework your resume, or taking a particular class, or getting some sort of certification, may make you feel really good, and more confident in your ability to get the type of job you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">So, as you can see from these examples, taking action can sometimes be a great form of energy work. These actions are helping to build some momentum behind the energy that will make you a match to what you want to attract.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But, the actions in and of themselves are not the primary factor in bringing about the manifestations&#8230;<i><b>it was how they made you feel.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you get more clients after the website redesign, it wasn&#8217;t because your website looks better, it is because you now feel better about your business.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you end up meeting a great guy on the dating website, the site had nothing to do with it&#8230;it was because you felt better about your prospects of meeting someone, and he just happened to come through that channel.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you get that great job, it wasn&#8217;t because of your polished, revamped resume, or because you took that class\u2014lots of people have great resumes and relevant experience for a job,but that doesn&#8217;t mean they are going to get it. You got it because of how you were feeling and because you were aligned with getting the job you wanted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">So, it&#8217;s okay if you feel compelled to take certain actions because the idea of just sitting around and waiting for things to manifest is not something you can fully buy into on the deepest levels of your being.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If taking the action will make you feel better in some way..and I mean truly make you feel better, and cultivate the expectation your manifestation will indeed come, go for it. But, if it is coming from a place of ickiness that stems from lack of trust and feeling like you need to jump in and make shit happen, then you want to reevaluate your position.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Not All Inspired Action May Have a &#8216;Positive&#8217; Result<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This is one thing that can really throw us in this whole attraction game. We take that delicious inspired action that feels really good, and we wait for the awesome result, but it doesn&#8217;t come. Instead something &#8216;bad&#8217; happens.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">What the frack is up with that? That is not how it is supposed to go right? Inspired action is coming from a space of alignment, and doesn&#8217;t that mean we are supposed to experience something that makes us all happy and shiny, and shows us we are right on schedule to manifest what we want?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You worry that something is terribly, terribly wrong in your vibration. What unknown belief is sabotaging all your happiness? Utter despair washes over you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Maybe I am being a bit dramatic, but maybe not. This course of events can really bring all the fears, doubts and limiting beliefs up to the surface, and front and center in our minds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">We were feeling really good, and from that high vibing space, a &#8216;negative&#8217; outcome can feel even worse than if we were in a more neutral space, or already feeling kind of crappy. We just weren&#8217;t expecting it, and that makes it harder to process.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Here&#8217;s the thing..sometimes that formula of inspired action equaling awesome manifestation does not always play out that way.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">That is something that is not often discussed, and I may even be guilty of never having broached the topic before..who knows. I cover so much stuff about LOA I can&#8217;t keep track.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But, here&#8217;s the thing&#8230;it is important to remember that nothing went wrong. You didn&#8217;t make any sort of mistake. You didn&#8217;t misread any signs or whatever. The only thing that goes wrong in these scenarios is our tendency to start freaking out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Whatever resulted from your inspired action&#8230;it&#8217;s all good. Remember we are always moving towards what we want, and our path can be made a bit more &#8216;treacherous&#8217; by the various obstacles we have in the form of limiting beliefs and fears.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Our experience in any given moment is just vibrational feedback, and without this feedback, we really wouldn&#8217;t know how close or far we were from manifesting what we want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Therefore, this feedback is very helpful, and we would have a lot harder time manifesting without it. Obviously, some of the feedback comes in the form of unwanted manifestations that don&#8217;t make us feel too good in the moment, but again, it&#8217;s all good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You are not screwing things up, what you want is not being withheld from you, these manifestations are not signs what you want is not possible so you best just set your sights on something else.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">These types of manifestations also speak to the importance of releasing expectations of how our manifestation is supposed to unfold and not getting attached to certain outcomes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you take some sort of action that feels good and it results in something that doesn&#8217;t feel too good, or something you expect to happen doesn&#8217;t, that is what was supposed to happen. That chain of events unfolded as it did to allow you to see what blocks, fears or other ick may still be strong in your vibration.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Again, let&#8217;s bust out an example..one having to do with good old money because that&#8217;s a sticking point for many people:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You have some sort of product or service and you feel really inspired to offer a special deal to your email list, current customers, or whatever&#8230; You are probably expecting a whole bunch of people to take advantage, but then no one does.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You feel all crappy and wonder what went wrong. Then you start seeing what is coming up when you think about this situation.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And digging a bit deeper, you realize you have a belief that people can&#8217;t afford your services or aren&#8217;t willing to pay what you are charging, that is stronger than you might have realized.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And you realize while that action may have felt really good in the moment, underneath, it was primarily motivated by these lower energy thoughts and feelings.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And with this type of energy, you aren&#8217;t letting in the people who can AND will happily pay for your products and services, who immediately see their value and don&#8217;t need to be convinced of it.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And that action is what let all of these extremely helpful insights make their way into your brain, insights that will help you move closer towards what you really want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">So yeah, no matter what happens, you are just being shown where you are in the moment and what may need to be cleaned up a bit.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Often times, these moments will provide a lot of clarity and let in ideas and inspirations that will benefit your journey.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">That you were vibing high and led to take a high vibing action is awesome..it shows you are accessing the energy of what you want more and more. The fact that something unwanted resulted does not diminish that..again, it is just feedback and will help you move forward if you can remember this and heed the wisdom inherent in the manifestation.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Seriously..If You are Feeling Badly, Don&#8217;t Do Anything<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This sounds obvious, but what may not be so obvious to you, and something that will really help you understand why it is so important to heed this piece of advice, is realizing action is a manifestation of your predominant energy in the moment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If you are acting from a space of feeling like shit, if you are powering through no matter how fruitless it seems or how much you just want to step away, if you refuse to pull back until a certain result has been achieved or a solution to the problem has been found, this is indicative of some pretty screwy energy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It is an energy oozing with lack of trust, fear, doubt, a need to take control, and a bunch other yuck that is certainly not conducive to letting what you want into your life with ease. This is an energy that is screaming out to the Universe you don&#8217;t believe you can have what you want.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Acting from this energetic space is a major red flag you are way out of alignment with what you want so all of that action is largely going to be ineffective. Sure, you may squeeze something out of it, but it will probably be very little.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Getting the good stuff should never require traveling down a path that feels badly. Being miserable is not the way to get all the stuff that makes you happy.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It can&#8217;t be denied that plenty of people get results acting in this very fashion..there is some part of them that is aligned with what they want, and even if they are trudging along painfully slowly, they&#8217;re still moving forward.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">But, you are interested in harnessing the power of attraction because you don&#8217;t want to have a life that sucks and is full of pain, suffering, and doing stuff you don&#8217;t want to do,\u00a0but believe you have to, because that is what you have been told by a bunch of people who have no idea how our reality is truly created. Woo..that was quite a sentence.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">When you are willing to step away from action that is not making you feel good, you are sending a very strong message about how you intend to create what you want in your life. You are shoring up the belief that there can be gain without pain.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You are demonstrating your willingness to believe you can get results with greater ease and in ways that are fun and joyful. You are saying you trust what you want can come to you, and you realize it isn&#8217;t your job to be involved in every step.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You are making yourself a better match for inspired actions that feel good and will net you more results with less effort, that bring things to you more easily.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"western\"><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">In Closing&#8230;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This idea of letting the Universe handle the bulk of things is a concept that can take a bit to really believe. We are all on different points of the spectrum as far as how much we really, truly believe that and act accordingly.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It may be easier in certain areas of your life than others. You may find yourself backsliding at times because a manifestation triggered some stuff that had been fading but came back with a vengeance.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">If something is really important to you, you may feel more compelled to try and control things, figure stuff out and take actions that you believe will guarantee your result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">This need to control and always be taking action, no matter how badly it feels, is not going to be something you are just going to release fully one day, and then never have to deal with again.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It is more of a process. You&#8217;ll have moments when you just can&#8217;t help yourself and you&#8217;ll do things even if it doesn&#8217;t feel good because you are having a crisis of trust, or the fear is running particularly high.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You&#8217;ll be sick of seeing no results, and you&#8217;ll conclude you haven&#8217;t been doing enough, and again, you&#8217;ll force yourself to do stuff, even if it doesn&#8217;t feel good.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">You&#8217;ll know you shouldn&#8217;t be doing it, but you just can&#8217;t seem to pull yourself away. The old world thinking is winning out.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">It&#8217;s okay..don&#8217;t beat yourself up about it. One of the reasons we struggle with manifesting is we are way too hard on ourselves about our &#8216;screw ups.&#8217;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">And it is important to remember that aligning your energy with what you want, and shifting your limiting beliefs, is action. That is not &#8216;doing nothing.&#8217; It is the most important action you can take.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">Your Turn&#8230;<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt;\">What did you think of this post?
