our reactions. One of the main causes of inaction is that your mind doubts what you see. The moment your eyes register a motivational message, you say “I don’t believe that can happen for me.” One layer deeper your subconscious mind is saying, “I don’t have the power to make that happen for me.” We use affirmations, religious texts and mantras to motivate us to act. No one intends to look at them and not feel motivated to do something different. Anytime you don’t take that action, it is a sign that something is going on in your internal validation system. This system is where you draw on your internal sources of power, value, and worth. What enables you to act on a scripture, daily quote, or affirmation is a mindset that believes you can bring that statement to life, something inside that says “I got the goods (internal validation) to make this happen.” Thus, when a doubtful mindset meets an affirmation, daily quote or mantra, mental blocks become apparent and inaction can result. Self-awareness enables you to pay attention to this dynamic.
You have to deploy yourself intentionally
Your spirit, aka the divinity within you, acts as internal checks and balances. When you act contrary to the highest version of yourself, your spirit sends signals to get you back on track. Your everyday decisions determine whether you effectively or ineffectively use your internal power. You have the power to determine whether you want to internalize or ignore the inspirational messages. Manifesting the mantra is influenced by the state of your inner world and your ability to recognize the power within you.
When we pause to read an affirmation yet remain unable to act on it, fear and doubt are inevitably present. The best thing to do is to acknowledge and accept that this is exactly where you are supposed to be on your journey. Acknowledge without judgment. Use this as a learning moment about your power. How you use your internal power (mindset, behaviors, and emotions) determines whether trust drives you to action, or doubt maintains your status quo.
Key takeaway
Affirmations, Instagram memes, religious texts, and daily quotes are great tools, yet sometimes we need a little bit more when our spirit issues a “stuck order.” A lack of consciousness on how you use your internal power can block you from taking action when reading an affirmation text. Amina has mantras in abundance, but she couldn't get past the divinity within her trying to get her attention. The tug-of-war in our spirits shakes us back to reality, calling forth a reckoning with the present moment. Many ignore the shaking and suffer from living as a lesser version of themselves. It is time to specifically address what’s going on inside that leads you to live below your full potential. The first step is to ask yourself: “What can I learn from my inability to enact change from my daily affirmations?” From there, you have to make the choice to become more present, using that self-awareness to make more intentional choices. You have to make the choice to use your internal power to access the highest version of yourself.
