Why You Don't Take Action

I've always networked. Its a great way for me to get to know people. And my theory is the more people I know, the more I will learn and then the potential to help even more people arises.

(Funny how you just know what you are here to do right?
I mean I know that I'm here to help people. I've a way about me that means I naturally get to know people and it allows me to really help, and it feels like a gift to be able to do that. One that I treasure.)
I bet right now you are thinking about your gifts and your skills and natural ability, right?
The thing is we all have natural talents but what about when we have to do something that is not natural?
When it's something we know we should do, but just can't seem to get a handle on how to get on with it.

Why is it we don't take action when we know what needs to be done?
You know you shouldn't have that extra glass of wine or chunk or chocolate, but do you stop?
You know you should exercise throughout the week, every week, but do you?
Someone shares with you a great tip that will make your start to every day more enjoyable, but do you?
You hear some great advice on how to power up your success but do you actually take action?
Someone shares with you a proven way of getting more clients, but you still do what you have have always done and hope that magically you will get a better result this time.

Being told to take
 action isn't enough.

What prevents action?
The fact is you have proof that what you are told will work and yet you STILL don't take action?
Why?
Its because however strongly someone tells you something is going to work to make you happier and more successful. It is their own experience that produced action for them. It is not a powerful enough thing for you. There is emotion and belief for the other party in the knowledge they share, but you as yet do not have emotion or belief attached to ensure you take that action.The answer?
You need to create emotion and belief about taking action. You  have to visualise and feel it with every cell, fibre and nerve of your body.
Someone tells you something is going to make you more successful. Don't think about how you are going to achieve it. It's all too easy to get caught up in fear, worry and stress that it won't work which in itself instantly turns you into a procrastinator who has a thousand reasons why you can't take that action.
Concentrate on the emotion it will create in you when you have achieved it.
Will you feel successful?
Will you be smiling?
Will you be celebrating with your friends in a wine bar over a gold fish bowl of wine? (Boy those glasses are getting big!)
Who will be the first person you tell when you've succeeded? What will their face look like?
What beliefs will succeeding create in you? Imagine feeling them now.
Some people benefit from having a picture of their goal with them at all times, but for others this just compounds their belief that its unachievable and makes them feel a failure. Where as internalising the belief and emotions is something that we can all do to achieve our goals and create action.

Now here's the powerful bit.
Every day when you wake up feel all that emotion and belief of how amazing it will be when you have achieved success wash over you, before you even open your eyes in the morning.
When you are queueing in the bank, stuck at the lights, or waiting for an appointment, allow those emotions to take over. Feel the happiness, realise that there is a little hint of a smile on your face as you see it in your minds eye.
Last thing at night as you close your eyes to sleep, breathe deeply 3 times and with every in take of breathe know that feeling of success, with every breathe out expel the disbelief that secretly is trying to curb your success.
Its vital that you don't concentrate on the how. Remember that doing that will stop you in your tracks and get you nowhere fast.
The idea is to create a stronger enough reason why you MUST take action and are actions are deeply routed in our beliefs and emotions. So take action on just your beliefs and actions.


Dream, Visulise, Feel that Success!

Very soon you will find that without even realising it you are choosing to do things slightly different, you will see that you are actually taking the advice you were given, but it will feel so natural it won't feel like you have pushed yourself out of your comfort zone or undertaken some mammoth task.
And that in itself will power up your success, because it will have added that all important other powerful unit to your success....experience!

Good luck and let me know how you get on. And if you get stuck. Let's chat on Twitter or Facebook and get you taking that powerful action to your happiness and success.
