Inspired action occurs when someone acts efficiently and easily, to create a greater result than they normally would have been able to. Have you ever found that you’re in “the zone” in a certain project where you get more done in less time, with less effort than you ever have—and it’s enjoyable?

Then you’ve experienced Inspired Action. This is the way we’re designed to work. And the good news is that we don’t have to wait until we’re inspired to do it.

When I first began working with these ideas, I listened to master teachers who gave me powerful advice. What I learned helped me harness the power of Inspired Action easily, every day.

Here are three steps that you can use today to start following Inspired Action:

Following Inspired Action Step #1: Ask: “What Am I Inspired to Do Here?” – Have you ever gone to bed at night, pondering a question, and woken up in the morning with the answer? This is what I’m talking about here. When we run into a snag in a project, it is all-too-easy to just mentally “veg out” and re-route ourselves around the impasse—often toward a different, and inferior, goal.

At these times when we feel thwarted in reaching our goal, it is best to keep our head in the game and ask ourselves for inspiration. When I do this, when I actually look at the obstacles that I face, I find that I can find a way through. For instance, when I started a home-based business, I didn’t know how I was going to fit it in among my home, family, and writing responsibilities, let alone how I was going to stay well-rested at the same time. For several weeks, I struggled over this issue. This, of course, siphoned away my much-needed energy and made the problem worse.

But when I simply asked myself about the correct inspired action to take, I got a great answer. In the mornings, I would work for short amounts of time on my writing that was to go on the web. Then, later in the day, when I didn’t have as much mental energy, I would work on the technical aspect of my project. I’d also have my lap top set up upstairs so that I could do quick projects while my daughter was busy playing.

Asking the right question at the right time can go a long way toward helping us remain focused and in charge of our plans.

Following Inspired Action Step #2: Keep Your Calendar Clear – I began to keep my calendar more clear so that I could practice getting my projects done. In this way, I treated myself with kid gloves, so to speak, for awhile while I was learning to manage many projects at once. That way, I wasn’t trying to fit important things around errands that could have been taken care of more efficiently. I scheduled time to do the maintenance things that were important to support our everyday lives. Too many great plans can get de-railed by rushing around doing one errand at a time, which eats up our time and energy.

Following Inspired Action Step #3: Practice Taking Care of Daily Maintenance Chores – But don’t make this a career. Practice this for several weeks, until you’ve learned to do these tasks more efficiently. When we string together six or seven days worth of taking care of daily maintenance things, they become much easier. In setting the stage for following our inspired action, we need a solid foundation. Practicing our daily tasks, like cleaning, good grooming, good eating, and being caught up on paper work, allows us the extra brain power to follow our project plans instead of spending energy trying to juggle our responsibilities.

Practicing this for several weeks allows us the ability to maintain this practice with little effort when we add our projects into our daily lives. This is especially important to people who have a job at home. But it is also important for people who work in an office. A bad diet, no exercise, and having nagging “to dos” hanging over our heads clouds our minds so that we’re not paying attention to following Inspired Action. Instead, set yourself free of these things and watch your creative side take over.

Success is a choice. This might surprise you, but it’s true and if you don’t believe it you have made the choice (yes, the choice) to journey through life without a great deal of success. Success is actually all about choice. You choose the things you want in your life, and then choose to do the necessary things to achieve your goals. You also choose not to quit until you achieve the outcome you desire.

Read the last two sentences again. Perhaps you feel you don’t really have a lot of choice in your life no matter what anyone says. What sort of choices do you have? What choices do successful people make that others tend to avoid?

The first most important choice for success is to decide to remove the obstacles in your life. A lot of the obstacles we face in life are internal. Low self esteem, negative beliefs about money or success, a lack of confidence in meeting new people can all hold you back from achieving success. If you find success out of reach, it is likely that there is something preventing you from moving forward in life. The sort of focus you need to break through limitations comes from a clear vision of the future you want. You can’t focus on moving towards a better future if your vision is blurry. Clearly define the future you want or the person you want to be, and then begin to focus on your dream. When you do this, you will begin to move toward your desired future.

The second choice for success is to choose to live as if you were already successful. In other words, fake it until you make it. Live as if you had already succeeded in the area you are focusing on. No matter what your current circumstances are, imagine them the way you want them to be. When you are sitting in your office, visualize it as if you were already the multi-millionaire you desire to be. When you walk through your home, imagine the furnishings and even the design that you truly desire. Make it as real as possible. Let yourself experience the emotions you would feel if you already possessed the things you desire.

This is a way of tricking your subconscious mind. If your subconscious mind thinks you are successful already, it will give you more success. Live as if you are already successful with the expectation that it will become real.

The third choice you need to make is to believe in your own success. If you consciously believe something, it is like a command to your subconscious mind to begin to work towards it. Look at your friends and acquaintances and consider how many of them truly have an unshakable belief in where they are headed in life. Would you consider them successful? Perhaps not. They may enjoy a good life but still not be successful in terms of the life they actually wanted. They may not even believe such a life is possible. On the other hand, you may know someone who has a firm belief in themselves and their direction in life. They may not be successful yet, but you can see they are heading towards their goals. Keep an eye on that person.

Belief is what makes the dream come true because it converts your focus into a plan that will make your dream real. Belief is more powerful than most people realize. Don’t underestimate it.

Strong belief generates emotions but most of the time we are unaware of the connection. You can choose to experience positive emotions that make your belief in success become reality. We automatically experience the negative side of emotions and beliefs when we focus on how traumatic and difficult certain situations are. By imagining how we would feel if we actually achieved our goals, and literally allowing ourselves to experience emotions such as joy, gratitude, hope, and happiness we move ourselves in the direction of really having what we desire.

Success is a choice. You can choose the adventure of pursuing your dreams with its challenges and triumphs, or you can live a life with limited risk but also limited success. If you don’t choose success, chances are your life will be fundamentally unchanged in ten years time. Is that what you really want?
