Inspired action is one of the most crucial (yet most misunderstood) components of the Law of Attraction and conscious manifesting. If you’re reading this and researching the concept of inspired action, I assume you already understand that taking action is part of practicing the Law of Attraction. After all, the word “attraction” consists of the word: “action”. And, as a manifestation practitioner, I’m all for taking action, especially inspired action. Over the years, I’ve also discovered that we can inspire our actions so that they feel good, and get us closer to our desired manifestations faster 🙂
I think this is the mindset that separates my teachings from what you may have heard from other practitioners because I fully believe that you can inspire your actions! Yes, most (or even all) of your actions can be inspired and lead to the conscious manifestations you desire and deserve!
So, my point of view is that, in most cases, you don’t have to wait for inspired action because you have the power to inspire everything you do or think instantly. As with everything, this may take practice, but it is possible, and everyone can do it. It starts with a simple energetic shift that you can inspire your actions!
This is my main intention behind writing this post. I want you to realize how powerful you really are and that you don’t have to get stuck waiting for some unusual signs to know whether certain actions are good for you or not. Because when you know yourself, your values, and your desired outcomes, taking inspired action feels so effortless! You don’t burn yourself out, even if you work a lot, and it feels like you’re being guided and protected.
So, this post is all about inspired action– what it is, how to unleash its power, and the most common myths and misconceptions around it. As with everything I write, I always encourage my readers to find their own way. Get inspired by what I share, but then choose what makes sense or feels good to you at this stage of your journey.
This is not about being right or wrong but about discovering what works for you while acting in alignment with your Higher Self. I genuinely hope that this post will help you elevate your consciousness and experience the gift of taking inspired actions!

What Is Inspired Action?
Here’s my definition of inspired action:
An inspired action is an action, set of actions, or even repetitive actions that eventually become your habits, aligned with your goals and values; so to take inspired actions, you need to constantly work on your self-awareness to stay focused on your goals and desires.
So, the first step is knowing your desires and how to stay focused on them.
For me, the best way to stay focused on manifesting my goals and desires is by combining my favorite manifesting techniques (such as scripting or manifestation meditation) with taking inspired action in the direction of my goal and actively doing my part.
Manifesting techniques help me feel good and maintain a positive attitude, energizing and inspiring my actions. They also help me focus on my desired reality instead of complaining about what I may not like about the current one.
Now, for me, this is the most crucial part- inspired action is taken IN SPIRIT, and this is what the word “INSPIRED” consists of.
When I say IN SPIRIT, I mean that you intend to connect to something bigger or your Higher Self.
In other words, you see your role in manifesting your desires as that of a conscious and active co-creator.
Your motivation behind taking inspired actions is love-based. Your intentions are pure and for your highest good and the good of others. So, you take them for yourself, and there’s no need to prove something to others, get even, or “look good”. So, you no longer worry about what others think because you know that their thoughts create their reality, not yours 😊 This is SO liberating.
You just do you and follow your path!
Recommended Book: Authentic Self-Confidence: Manifest Your Best Life by Embracing Who You Truly Are (Metaphysical Self-Help Book 2)
I wrote this book to help you discover who you truly are and use your unique power to shine your light and manifest with authentic confidence!
By taking inspired action, or actions, you are also ready to transcend the limitations and fears of your ego-mind, such as: “What will others think of me”, “How long will it take”, “What if I fail” etc.
So, by taking inspired action, you also surround to the Spirit (or a Higher Power, the Universe, Your Higher Self, Infinite Intelligence, the Essence, God, Divine Forces – whatever resonates with you and your belief system 😊 )
Inspired Action, Energetic Alignment, and Positive Expectation
Inspired action has meaning to you, and there’s no fear because you know everything will work out for you. The mindset behind an inspired action is: “I don’t fail, I succeed, or I learn!”.
This is so empowering because, sometimes, we may feel scared to take action and move forward because of the fear of doing something wrong. But when you decide to always do the best you can, from your best energy, and you expect the best, you activate the Law of Positive Expectation.
For example, let’s say you’re manifesting a new job. You apply for and attend different job interviews. And your mindset is: “This or something better!”.
You INSPIRE your actions by deciding that everything happens FOR you, and you keep moving forward. In your mind and heart, you know you are already working your dream job.
So, as you attend different job interviews and the first ones don’t seem to be going well, you don’t even see any initial rejection as an obstacle but as a gift.
You are grateful that the initial interviews didn’t go well because now you know how to prepare for your next interview or apply for a better position.
So, you consciously choose to tell yourself a positive story, and therefore you inspire your actions.
I’ll repeat- you tell yourself a positive story and inspire your actions!
So, you are in charge of your inspired action. All the time!
So, even what some may see as tedious 3D tasks, such as applying for a different job and writing a CV, is a beautiful and spiritual activity for you. Everything can be a spiritual activity for you because you give it meaning! You are the co-creator of this whole party. You do your part and allow the Universe and the Divine to do the rest.
And, as you stay in this super positive vibration, you may find yourself manifesting a little miracle here and there…
You get an intuitive nudge (don’t we all love these!) or experience synchronicity….
After one of your “failed” job interviews, you go for a coffee in an area you’ve never been to before.
You run into an old friend of yours who’s having a coffee with their colleagues, and you find out that their company is hiring…And they want someone like you…and they hire you.
Or, as you are in the process of manifesting your dream job, you come across an even better offer, something you could not possibly imagine…
My intention here is not to make you think that things have to happen this exact way because there’s always an unlimited number of ways to manifest our desires.
The way I see this is- my MAIN job is to always be grateful! Gratitude is the key to magic, miracles, synchronicities, solving or even automatically dissolving problems that may occasionally appear (we may also call these: challenges to help us grow!)
Gratitude also helps eliminate negativity and take inspired action while staying on the vibration of courage.
So…how can you INSPIRE yourself and your actions to break the energy of waiting and enter a new vibration?
I want to make you realize how powerful conscious, inspired actions can be if you infuse them with: “This or something better”, “I don’t fail, I succeed, or I learn”, “Everything happens for me!”, or (one of my favorite affirmations from Louise Hay): “All is well in my world!”
I believe that it’s up to us, conscious manifestors, to constantly work on our energy and mindset so that we see all our inspired actions as either successful or leading to success eventually.
Your main job is to always tell a positive story and stay in a high vibration. This is how most (or all!) of your actions can become inspired 😊
Inspired Action Is Usually a Process, not an Event (And Why It’s GOOD News!)
Now, this is something that many people don’t want to hear because we just love all those romanticized LOA stories…you know, a single magical event that changed someone’s life forever, and they never had to do anything…
Now, I’m not saying these don’t happen. Definitely be open to all kinds of miracles and magic.
But after studying hundreds of people who reported these miracles (including the miracles I manifested in my own life), I quickly realized that most of them were very persistent at inspiring their actions, staying grateful, and being consistent at something (such as a specific manifesting technique, inner work, or 3D reality action, such as building a business, doing their best at their job, or studying and gaining new skills).
So, there usually is some behind-the-scenes “effort”. But…you have the power to make that effort pretty effortless and fun by inspiring your actions, being grateful, moving forward with courage, and staying high vibe.
This is GOOD news for us because we have the POWER to create miracles in our lives! We can INSPIRE all the actions we take and create positive momentum that leads to miracles.
MOst LOA teachers share that inspired action feels good and meaningful to you, and even if it doesn’t make any “logical” sense, you have this “inner knowing”, that’s what you’re supposed to do.
Now, that’s only one way to look at things, only one possibility.
Because there are infinite possibilities as to what an inspired action can look or feel like.
And so, for many new LOA/ manifestation students or practitioners, it can even be a little manifesting trap or block triggered by a comparison mechanism.
So, please remind yourself that when it comes to inspired action, there’s no right or wrong…
All you need to do is be in alignment with your highest values and desires.
Sometimes, all you might need is some time to figure things out for yourself. In fact, I often recommend my readers take a few days off to go on a solo trip.
Disconnect from social media, and outside influences. Meditate, journal, pray, and go for walks. Listen to your inner voice. It will tell you what your true desires are.
When you know your true desires and who you are, staying focused will be easy, and you will be proud to think in your own unique way and take inspired action in alignment with your values and desires.
No more seeking approval or permission!
Can Forced Action Lead to Inspired Action? (Against the Grain Approach!)
Yes, in most cases, forced action can lead to inspired action, or even be transformed into one!
For example, let’s say a person has a day office job they don’t really like. So, getting up in the morning and driving to work feels like forced action initially.
But…when they leave work, they feel excited to go back home and work on their online business.
They know that if they stay consistent and keep taking inspired action in the evening, they will eventually manifest an online business success and either do their day job only part-time or quit it.
So, they choose to focus on gratitude instead of complaining: “I am so happy and grateful for my day job. It gives me a steady paycheck, and I still have the time to work on my online business”.
They can also inspire what initially seems like “forced” actions, such as getting up early and commuting to work by having a collection of their favorite audiobooks to listen to. So now, they look forward to getting up early, getting ready to work, and learning new things as they listen to more and more non-fiction audiobooks.
Now they feel good, they are self-motivated, and they perform better at work. They soon get a better position they enjoy much more. And even though it’s still not their deep purpose work they would like to do, they choose to stay grateful and keep learning and growing in their free time and manifesting success in their online side business.
So…. inspiring your actions is a choice!
Yesterday, I briefly entered the energy of procrastination as I was just about to clean my apartment, so I asked myself: “what can I do to inspire my actions?”
I decided to listen to some old audiobooks by Bob Proctor (I haven’t listened to his programs for a while now) and told myself that cleaning is an excellent form of exercise. I also affirmed: “Oh, I am so happy and grateful that my apartment is so nice, clean, and fresh because I love living and working in clean environments. I am very good at this, and I can clean so fast. I get good exercise too!”
Then- quickly move to inspired action. That’s the KEY!
Inspired Action – Common Pitfalls
If you’ve read anything about inspired action, you probably heard that inspired action always feels good, and this is what I also wrote (kind of) at the beginning of this post.
Well, yes, inspired action feels good. There might be some exceptions though…
If you’re a beginner at something, or something is very important to you, or a given action is still very new to you, and you’re not used to it, your subconscious mind doesn’t feel very comfortable yet, and so it may use a myriad of ways to make you stop. So that may not feel good in the beginning.
But…now that you know about it, you can keep persisting.
For example, I love writing, and it feels good to me, but when I first got started, on some days, I had to (lovingly) force myself to sit down, stay focused and write.
What motivated me back then was that I decided to inspire my action and use it as a valuable experience to learn how to consciously build new habits and be consistent. I signed up for the 90-day challenge. And so, every day, I sat down to write a bit. I knew that by being consistent, my subconscious mind would get used to it, it would then be a part of me, and it would feel easier and easier.
By challenging ourselves and growing through consistency and repetition, there’s less and less effort!
Consciously building new habits in alignment with your desires is also a great way to inspire your actions!
Powerful Resources to Inspire Your Actions Today!
Whatever path you decide to follow to take inspired action, be mindful of what not to do…
Never compare yourself to others because every person will have a unique process of creating and taking inspired action.
One of the biggest reasons I struggled with manifesting at the beginning of my journey was that I was stuck in endless comparisons and people-pleasing, and I could never allow myself to be me and follow my own path. And so, I kept attracting more situations that would reflect my confused inner state.
My biggest tip for you is to dive deep to figure out your true, heart-based desires.
Manifest your goals, not someone else’s goals.
My book: Authentic Self-Confidence: Manifest Your Best Life by Embracing Who You Truly Are (Metaphysical Self-Help Book 2) offers a simple, 7-step process to help you unleash your uniqueness 😊

–How to Stay Consistent When Manifesting (The Magic Triangle Method)
–How to Stay Focused on Your Goal – 3 Energy & Mindset Shifts You Can’t Miss!

Success and taking inspired action are all about the Magic Triangle I often talk about; you need to combine mindset with energy and strategy.
All systems must successfully activate the Law of Attraction in your favor and in alignment with your desired realities.
When your mindset, energy, and strategy are aligned with what you truly desire, you manifest fast and effortlessly and make incredible progress (aka quantum leaps!).
I can’t wait to hear about your success story and how you inspired your actions.
