The Cycle of Being Inspired

Do you ever have that feeling that prompts excitement to take action in some way?

You might be in the cycle of being inspired.

How did I get in the cycle?

Maybe it began with curiosity and wonder. Being curious about an idea or something you see. Taking an action toward the curiosity and wonder because it is important to you.

It might even be a challenge that creates an intrigue to navigate.

Did you wait to be in the cycle or did you actively immerse yourself in your experiences and observations?

Did you accept the invitation?

When did I choose to BE inspired?

The choice to be inspired might have come from seeing new perspectives and new possibilities. The enthusiasm created an energetic impulse to take action. A readiness to transform the idea into something that unleashes your capability. A transformation of your unique creativity into a process of actionable sequences.

Was I actually ready?

Did the perspective or idea guide me?

The moment I created inspiration

What action was taken to create the inspiration?

Momentum was generated by a step. A small simple, intentional step.

It wasn’t overthought. The focus was not directed at “what if” the action does not succeed.

Maybe the focus was an intention, “what do I want to create?”

Repeat the inspiration cycle

What allows the repeated momentum of being inspiration?

Taking action might feel like it needs to be constant. Sometimes responsiveness to “doing” softens.

It might feel like the momentum is disappearing. Maybe the cycle of inspiration is calling for something that isn’t about taking action.

Being intentional about inspiration also requires connection. This might include reflection or some type of organization of thoughts, feelings, or associated purpose to the inspiration.

The wave can be strong for a period, then slow gradually. Accepting the flow of the wave through the cycle of inspiration can be beneficial to maintain momentum.

The misconception might be to question if the inspiration is lost, or lessened due to the softened energy behind it.

When the intention is connected in fullness with inspiration, it is understood that the softened energy is part of the process.

The cycle continues in momentum through intentional energy, presence and connection.

Until the inspirational wave reaches its peak again.

Inspiration has an intentional purpose. It connects with a vision of importance.

Influence Of Aligned Inspiration

Who we are choosing to be in life can be a reflection of our thoughts, beliefs and values that we consider to be important. Someone can use the influence of aligned inspiration to maintain alignment to what is important.

It can be a source of inspiration that can thrust an energetic synergy into motion.

A stimulation to access a higher creativeness inside self.

Finding Aligned Inspiration

Everyday inspiration is all around. When someone is “closed off” from being inspired they can’t see it. They can’t feel it. They are unable to embody it.

What is first required is to allow for the curiosity of inspiration to be seen. A process that may call for an intention to be established. A commitment to an intention such as, “I am inspired.” Next, accepting curiosity to become aware of the details of inspiration all around you. Lastly, align with the inspiration that is an influence to your beliefs, values and thoughts you would like to have.

Obstacles to Aligned Inspiration

There can be many obstacles to having aligned inspiration. When it filters down to what gets in the way, it is ultimately lack of connection.

An alternate focus that detracts where the focus needs to be. The influence is no longer curiosity or wonder. It is an attachment to fear or unsupportive mindset. Influencers such as fear of failure, overwhelm, scarcity, negativity, unclear purpose.

The focus is directed towards navigating the inertia of thoughts that plead their reasoning for safety, comfort and understanding. A change in the inner being will help to shift the fears. To begin aligning to the spectrum of experiences that give inspiration the space it needs to radiate new visions of possibility.

The process might include becoming present with the experienced emotions, reframing failure, prioritizing self care and responsibilities, practicing gratitude, taking clear steps to become aligned with values and actions.

Sources of Aligned Inspiration

When inspiration is aligned it can come from many different sources. It may be a word that is read. It may be a thought that is shared. It may feel known because it is generated because of being in connection to a belief, value or intention. It may be a picture or drawing that invites connection to return through emotional senses. It may be a sound, frequency, or voice.
Being connected to a purpose while doing something in alignment to that purpose may instill inspiration on it’s own.

When you are open to aligned inspiration, it is always around you because it is inside you.

Inspiration is aligned when purposeful intention is given the space to be influenced by wonder.
