The Energy Comes When You Do It (Not Before)
Are you waiting to do something because you don't feel ready?
Are you procrastinating on something you know need to start doing in your soul-aligned business, mission or passion project simply because you don’t feel the inspiration or confidence yet?
And as the days go by, things eventually come to a standstill and you feel stuck.
Well, here’s a big reminder to you to get the ball rolling again…
The energy and inspiration to do something comes after you start doing it — not before when you're just thinking about it.
Waiting for the Inspiration, Confidence and Energy To Do
Something Just Keeps You Stuck
This concept has been popping up a lot in my life recently. It's like I know what steps I need to take in my healing and jewelry businesses, but I’m waiting to feel ready.
I’m waiting to feel the confidence, drive and inspiration to take the first step!
But guess what? What I’m thinking about doing it, making a plan for how I’m going to do it, making to do lists and scheduling it all in the future… the full blown energy to do it never comes.
So day ups go by and everything slows down. Momentum slows down, days turn into weeks and I’m feeling stuck, like I’m up against a wall.
Sound familiar?
Stop Waiting. Start Doing.
If you’re stuck like I was, you have to just take the next step. You won’t feel ready, you won’t feel confident enough, it will feel uncomfortable.
BUT as you start doing it, the energy will flow. You’ll get into the swing of it. Maybe you’ll even get into a flow state and find your rhythm with it.
And before you know it, you feel energized and revived again with life force energy. You feel more confident and grounded in yourself and your soul purpose.
You won’t be perfect, but as you channel the energy while you take the action, you’ll feel reassured that you’ve really this.
Let the energy carry you forward!
A Powerful Lesson from Master Stephen Co About Taking Action
Master Stephen Co, one of the Pranic Healing masters, told a personal story about this at one of the Pranic Healing Arhatic Yoga retreats I went to.
Posing with friends at a super fun Pranic Healing Arhatic Yoga Retreat in front of a picture of Grand Master Choa Kok Sui.
When Master Co was building his career as a Pranic Healing instructor, he had to go out and get a certain number of students to teach one of his classes….something along those lines. It was a few years ago, but I definitely remember the powerful point of the story.
In order to get the minimum number of students, he had to put himself out there to talk to people, network and market the class. But he was feeling deflated by fear and intimidated by the whole thing. He felt paralyzed from taking action.
So he went to Master Choa Kok Sui, the founder of Pranic Healing and his spiritual teacher, and asked him to bless him with the courage and energy to successfully do it. Basically, “help me Master!”
Master Choa replied to him that he had to take the first step and start doing it — only then would he receive the inner strength and confidence to succeed. A blessing from him wouldn’t help much.
So you’ll never quite be ready. You have to just take the leap and know that the energy, confidence, inspiration and flow will come when you’re finally in action.
