One of the biggest traps,
in going for what you want,
and taking massive action,
is asking yourself “How will I do it?”.
I know, I know…
You might be confused by that last statement.
You might be thinking,
“You need to KNOW how, otherwise, you won’t actually know what to do or what actions to take to get there!”
I totally hear you.
Action IS required to move towards your goals.
Of course.
Yet at the same time,
When you ask yourself the question “How will I do it?”,
“How can this be accomplished?”…
Your brain will automatically scan your PAST experiences.
Your brain will scan everything you currently already KNOW.
In context of the paradigm you are currently living in.
AKA…your current results
And, knowing you, you have big goals.
You have big dreams,
You may want something different, from what you currently have.
AND, it’ very probable you will require a NEW way of BEING,
and even NEW actions.
a NEW lens to look through…
to get you to that next level.
So scanning your OLD memory bank,
to come up with actions for your NEW goal,
will only get you so far.
And might even result in,
taking the SAME past actions,
and giving you the SAME results,
without much change in where you currently are.
And this can be super frustrating.
There are also sooooo many unexpected things that can happen along the way, that you couldn’t have even predicted that you would even need to figure out the “how” for.
For example…
When you were creating your business plan for 2019 onwards,
Did you already have a plan of how to operate under pandemic situations?
I certainly didn’t.
Or when you were creating your health goals,
Did you have a plan to figure out how to address unexpected setbacks, or an unexpected diagnosis from your doctor?
Possibly not. I mean, it was unexpected.
Got where I’m going with all of this?
So when you are about to take action towards achieving your big goal and dreams….
The most efficient question may NOT be “How will I get there?”…
So you might be thinking….
“Well, if I don’t focus on the how, what do I focus on then?”
Focus on being present.
Focus on being as present as you can in every moment.
There is a vast amount of information you likely haven’t even observed, seen or known already existed that is available for YOU in the present moment.
And when you begin to see this new information,
you discover something…
your blindspots.
you habit patterns,
your current way of being.
And this my friend, gives you access to taking NEW actions,
That will give you NEW results.
Ironically, it may actually reveal the new “How to…”
That will get you closer to achieving your goals.
Without actually trying to “figure” it all out.
Like what if you actually didn’t have to figure anything out?
And all you had to do was get present.
And you would just KNOW.
Sound crazy?
Try it.
Make being present in every moment (as best as you can) your #1 priority.
And see your whole world shift.
I’d love to hear what you discover,
you got this – you always did,
XO
