0:00
SPEAKER_00: Hello, my name is Becca Stackhouse Morrison, and I'm ready for you to tune in each episode to hear ways to become you.
0:09
SPEAKER_00: Looking at ways you can be your authentic and intentional self, you'll finish each episode motivated to live life more authentically.
0:18
SPEAKER_00: I learned how to be truly me through relationships, chronic disease, finances, and taking each journey along the way.
0:26
SPEAKER_00: Talk about the real aspects of life?
0:29
SPEAKER_00: Of course.
0:30
SPEAKER_00: Relationships, finance, nutrition, hardships, exercise are all topics that we will discuss.
0:37
SPEAKER_00: Pull up a seat, drive safely down the road, or get into that workout groove to be challenged, motivated, and encouraged to be you.
0:46
SPEAKER_00: This is the Stacked Intent podcast.
0:52
SPEAKER_00: Welcome back to Stacked Intent.
0:55
SPEAKER_00: I am back of Stack House Morrison, and this episode is episode three of the manifesting park.
1:03
SPEAKER_00: So we've established what manifesting is and how it works in our brains, and we've gone deep on clarity, knowing exactly what you want and building that vision that feels real.
1:16
SPEAKER_00: So today we are going to talk about the piece that a lot of manifesting content either skips or sometimes really underplays, and that is action.
1:29
SPEAKER_00: And I want to say something clearly because I think it is where the manifesting conversation often goes a little sideways.
1:39
SPEAKER_00: You cannot think your way to a different life.
1:43
SPEAKER_00: You cannot vision board your way there.
1:46
SPEAKER_00: You cannot meditate your way there.
1:48
SPEAKER_00: Clarity, belief, and vision are all preparation for the ground of manifesting.
1:56
SPEAKER_00: But you still have to plant the seed.
1:59
SPEAKER_00: You still have to water them, and you still have to show up consistently in the direction that you want to go.
2:09
SPEAKER_00: So before you have proof that it's working, that's the action side.
2:14
SPEAKER_00: And so today we're going to talk about what it looks like there.
2:20
SPEAKER_00: The manifesting talk is about something that's called inspired action, which I believe is a useful concept, though it oftentimes can get misunderstood.
2:36
SPEAKER_00: Inspired action is not the same as a hustle.
2:40
SPEAKER_00: It's not grinding hard, doing more, forcing outcomes, inspiring action.
2:47
SPEAKER_00: It is action that is aligned with your vision values.
2:52
SPEAKER_00: And that feels purposeful rather than frantic.
3:01
SPEAKER_00: That is coming from a place of creation rather than fear.
3:09
SPEAKER_00: So here is the distinction that I like.
3:13
SPEAKER_00: Hustle is doing more to escape the feeling that you're not enough.
3:19
SPEAKER_00: Inspired action is doing what's next because you generally believe in where you're going.
3:28
SPEAKER_00: And this happens and is applicable in every aspect of life.
3:34
SPEAKER_00: I mean, talk about here of launching a business.
3:39
SPEAKER_00: You have to have inspiration, but you also have to believe in that action that comes behind.
3:51
SPEAKER_00: So one comes from scarcity, the other comes from abundance.
3:58
SPEAKER_00: Which place do you want to come from?
4:00
SPEAKER_00: I want to come from the place of abundance rather than that place of feeling scarce.
4:06
SPEAKER_00: And they are produced very different outcomes, not in just your results, but also in your overall well-being.
4:15
SPEAKER_00: So now inspired action, it's still hard, but it requires discomfort, courage, sometimes difficult conversations, sometimes showing up when you'd rather not.
4:28
SPEAKER_00: The difference in the energy underneath it.
4:32
SPEAKER_00: Fear-based action contracts you, it aligns your action, expands you, even when it's hard.
4:48
SPEAKER_00: The action is moving me towards what I want, and it is coming from what I'm afraid of.
4:58
SPEAKER_00: Both can look the same from the outside, but have completely different feelings on the inside.
5:08
SPEAKER_00: Last week we talked about the identity alignment because the person who has what you want before the evidence arrives, the action piece of this is acting as if.
10:08
SPEAKER_00: Each action, however small, is evidence, not just the world, but to your own nervous system that you are becoming someone different.
10:25
SPEAKER_00: The results come after the identity shift.
10:29
SPEAKER_00: And the identity shift comes through consistent action.
10:35
SPEAKER_00: You got it.
10:41
SPEAKER_00: One more thing worth addressing in this conversation is how do you know when to keep going versus when to change directions?
10:51
SPEAKER_00: This comes up in manifesting because sometimes what looks like a block is actually a redirection.
11:03
SPEAKER_00: And sometimes you feel like a sign to stop is actually the discomfort of growth.
11:12
SPEAKER_00: Here's a useful distinction here.
11:17
SPEAKER_00: Persistent action in the wrong direction is stubbornness, not faith.
11:23
SPEAKER_00: But giving up the moment things get hard is avoidance, not wisdom.
11:29
SPEAKER_00: So the question is I find it most useful.
11:35
SPEAKER_00: Is the obstacle something to move through?
11:38
SPEAKER_00: Or is this something that is telling me I'm moving in the wrong direction?
11:43
SPEAKER_00: Obstacles that feel hard but are aligned, that require you to grow, stretch, develop new capabilities.
11:52
SPEAKER_00: These are usually worth persisting through.
11:56
SPEAKER_00: However, obstacles that feel fundamentally wrong, that consistently drain you rather than develop you, and those might be redirections worth listening to.
12:11
SPEAKER_00: Staying flexible in your approach and staying committed to your destination and keep checking in whether you're doing is actually aligned with where you want to go.
12:30
SPEAKER_00: Do you have that end goal in mind?
12:36
SPEAKER_00: So your action steps from this week's episode is identify three aligned actions that you can make right now of what you're manifesting.
12:51
SPEAKER_00: Is that in your personal life?
12:53
SPEAKER_00: Is that in a relationship?
12:55
SPEAKER_00: Is that in work, your career?
12:58
SPEAKER_00: Is that in your family?
13:02
SPEAKER_00: Is that in fill in the blanks?
13:06
SPEAKER_00: Not someday actions, not big intimidating actions, but three small specific doable things that you can do this week that are consistent with the person that you're becoming and the life you're calling in.
13:28
SPEAKER_00: Write them down, schedule them on your calendar, and do them.
13:34
SPEAKER_00: Notice how it feels to act from alignment rather than from obligation.
13:43
SPEAKER_00: Action is the bridge between your vision and your reality, and you are capable of crossing it.
13:51
SPEAKER_00: Make sure you stay tuned for the next week of Manifesting.
13:56
SPEAKER_00: We're going to go into most important work of all, identifying and clearing the beliefs that are blocking you from receiving what you're calling in.
14:09
SPEAKER_00: Hope to see you over there and listening to that next episode.
14:15
SPEAKER_00: That brings us to the end of this episode of Stacked Intent.
