How I will focus my intentions this year to #AccelerateAction
A guest post by Shalagh Hogan
The International Women’s Day 2025 topic is #AccelerateAction. How do I live in a way that my inspired action inspires and accelerates all Women? By telling my story as truthfully as I can always.
Among many pieces of paper taped above my desk, one written in purple calligraphy claims to list, “the process of Manifestation”.
The listed steps include Declutter, Decide Exactly What You Want, Surround Yourself with Positive Self Stuff, and the 4th step encouragingly says to “Take Inspired Action”. Currently, I translate that to mean, Do the very thing that makes you the most scared, but in a good way.
Step towards the fear that feels inspirational and allow this awe to move onward towards your future self.
For many years, I desired to be inspirational, but self-doubt said I’d have a greater impact if I had more likes and followers. Metrics do not denote inspired actions if the numbers are about your need to be liked.
People are inspired by your offers to fulfill their needs, not by what you need from them
Now I have seen past my erroneous need for popularity to pursue the ultimate freedom of speaking my absolute truths and having people ask me for more. This is the year I’m writing an eBook memoir.
I hope my own inspired action will help other women in the same way many have inspired me to work hard to get here.
Soulful truthful storytelling is exactly what women need in 2025, as we all have forever. Acceleration for women will depend on our mutual Inspiration.
