Intuition and How It Creates Your Success Strategy by Michelle Barr
When you want something better, something more for yourself, the most important first step is to realize that it is up to you to create it. Then know you can do that starting right now. In working with my private coaching clients, I find that positive changes and new results can begin to show up within the first thirty days. By the end of ninety days of working consciously to create a better life, their lives are more satisfying, fulfilling and joyful. No matter what you want to do, no matter what you want to work on, no matter what area of your life in which you are ready to make changes, the principles and processes to do so are the same. There is good reason why people who teach success principles tell you to take action. It is the place where dreams become reality, where desires are made manifest. Taking action is the only way to bring your vision into your waking world. Action is what manifests things for you on the third-dimensional plane, right here, to show up in your life. However, you do not want to take just any action. You do not want to just be doing, doing, doing. Instead, learn to receive inspiration and experience the power that comes with taking Inspired Action. It is important to first develop your gifts, abilities and skills. Your intuition and your energy are your two most important tools that you can use in your everyday life for your ultimate benefit. When you are creating what you want, you can learn to set powerful intentions, watch for opportunities and take action, and your intuition will guide you at that place where the opportunities begin to show up, and you are considering what action to take. In order to really connect with your intuition, it is important to become consciously aware of your mental and emotional clutter that get in the way of you fully being connected to your inner guidance system. When you get it right, the result is magic! This allows you to live into your dreams and vision here and now. You let them show up in your physical world. You learn first to reconnect your spiritual and creative energy with your physical reality. Then you learn how to master the art of taking action. Remember, not just any action-inspired action. You must get to the action, and your intuition is just the tool to get you there in the most direct way. It takes third-dimensional action to create third-dimensional results. You have a feeling-guidance system within you. When you step up and say, I am successful, I'm a business person, I am going to be more, have more, and do more, you are telling the universe you are ready to be used. Expect the universe to respond in a big way. When you set an intention, you activate Ask and it is given. Every sacred text has a version of this. However, many people no longer believe it is true. Even though it happens every day, you may not understand it, and therefore you cannot see it and use it. The moment you ask, it is given. Become hyper-alert and watch for what shows up-opportunity. It is up to you to see it and step into it. It does not always show up as you expect it to and it may not be comfortable. It will stretch you. This discomfort and stretching is because you are asking for something you do not currently have. It is not in your environment because you are not yet a match for it. However, you have desire for it, therefore it is in your energy. You must bring it into physical form. You need to change something within yourself for it to show up outside of you. If you could already possess it, you would. Do not get stuck here! A lot of people do. I urge you not to misread what is showing up first as a sign you are not supposed to have what you desire, or believe it is not time, or that it is not right for you. Spirit wants for you what you want for yourself. Spirit created you to be a creator and gave you free will. It is all here for you. You must choose it. Choose to be it, do it and have it. As you seek to align yourself to what you desire, what shows up first can feel and look like a lot of crap. You are seeing everything that is not currently in alignment energetically with what you want to bring in. The universe is saying you can have what you want, however here is what you must release or deal with first. When you see opportunity show up, stay with it. Hold space for what you want. Focus your will and stay the course. Here is another place where you might feel frustrated. Self-doubt can kick in. I encourage you not to turn away from what you are bringing in, because then you get into start and stop energy and what you desire stops moving toward you. When that opportunity shows up, you want to meet it head on. Step up and take action. That is when you see the results and what you desire begins to show up in your world. Right after I created the body of work I call Master the Art of Taking Action, I had the opportunity to speak with Janet Switzer, business coach to Jack Canfield and many other well-known transformational leaders in the Human Potential Movement. As I was pitching her the work I was developing, she said, "I see what you do. Your message to people is, 'Get over your garbage and take action!'" Yes! When I talk about my work, I talk about how to master the art of taking action so you can get moving in the direction of your dreams and desires and create a better life now. I got from where I was to where I am now by learning how to get over my garbage. Then I had to learn how to take action in an empowered and intuitive way that best serves me. I want the same for you, and I want it now! Do you? People like you show up as my clients and students, beginning to make new discoveries about themselves and their world and creating powerful shifts in their thoughts, feelings and beliefs. Yet, they are still stuck right at the point where it is time to take action. Can you relate? Along this journey, here are some of the things I did that you can do, too: * Dig deep. * Chip away at the crap. * Build belief. * Take massive action-consistently. * Reclaim your divine birth right. * Embrace your purpose. * Reframe everything. * Invest in yourself through teachers, mentors, coaches and spiritual advisors. * Allow the shift to happen. * Up-level your environments. * Connect with your passions and purpose and allow yourself the creative expression to integrate them into your everyday life. * Be courageous enough to work on your emotional authenticity. * Get clear with your money. * Take honest inventory. * Heal your issues that show up around your value, worth, gifts, self-image, need to be liked and self-promotion. * Learn to manage your energy. * Develop your intuition. * Master your mindset. * Recognize resistance and don't back down. * Love yourself. As you clear away more and more of the mental and emotional clutter that can overtake your life and block you from your connection to your intuition, which leads to inspiration, you will discover, as I did, that you can create a better life now. Get over your garbage. Get over the constant beating up and second-guessing and sabotaging yourself. Get over feeling that you are not enough. You are here, now, and who you are is enough for someone. Your journey is important, and it can have an impact on others only when you are willing to share it. The best part is that sharing it is what brings you the most reward-mentally, physically, emotionally, spiritually and financially! These are all a part of the process to master the art of taking action. This is what I work on with my clients and students as I continue to work on it in my own life. It has been life-changing and game-changing for me, and it absolutely can be for you, too. My life now is unrecognizable from the life I was living just five years ago. If you are ready to create a better life now, I encourage you to make a decision to do so. Next, set a conscious intention based on something you desire. Immediately, begin watching for an opportunity to show up. Tap into your intuition, and get inspired. When it happens, take action. Connect with me at www.theartoftakingaction.
