This Week's Reflection

 

It's not what you do, it's how you do it - as today's video suggests.

 

When we're not in flow, when we're running on automatic (and, remember, we're all only human!), how we do what we're doing is compromised by thought.

In other words, most action is taken through thought - which means it reaction...

 

We only take real action when we're in flow - and what a difference it makes.

 

Reaction roots us to the spot - no wonder so many people tell me that they feel "stuck".

 

Real action moves us forward, even if we don't appreciate it at the time because, for most of the time, the real action that we take is small, in the moment, task-in-hand action.

 

But there's no such thing as "small" action, no task-in-hand too small - every real action moves us forward because every now matters and, with each action, we build momentum - a little but how the "Circle of Encouragement" to which I refer in this week's podcast works.

 

So, what do we need to do to take real action? How will we know what real action to take? Can we plan that in advance?

 

The only thing we have to do is turn up to the here and now - real action, based on a real understanding of the present moment, simply happens as a result, as a result of our feeling what the right thing is to do, moment to moment and... how to do it.

 

In short, the "how" of taking right action is effortlessly looked after by simply being present. It's all effortless.
