“The purpose of life is to live it, to taste experience to the utmost, to reach out eagerly and without fear for newer and richer experience.” – Eleanor Roosevelt Some people search for their purpose, throughout their whole lives. In fact, most people mistake having a life purpose and life path for just "work" and labor. Somewhere along the way we as a society became programmed to think of life as all work and maybe play or enjoy life later, e.g. retirement. But we know that's now how life really is. We just have to remember and remove that old programming that benefited the powerful people in society and made the rest of humanity and animals essentially slaves working themselves to the bone. This is the same programming that tried to separate our mind-body-spirit connection, which is of course impossible. But many believed the illusion of separation and functioned only to work to the point of depletion only to barely provide their basic necessities of food, water, sleep, shelter, and safety/security Work, career, and labor become separated from full and whole living making work purposeless. Full and purposeful life includes having wellness, joy, creative power, general abundance, and fulfilling our potential. So here we are, many, if not most of us, are yearning to find our true life path and purpose. This absolutely includes purposeful work. This program is about your life path and purpose which includes something you are called to do by your higher-self and soul and includes every area of your life. This may lead you to activities that are considered "work" by our society but are not simply labor to you because: It brings you balance and wellness Provides you the reunion of mind, body and spirit, Fills you with passion, joy, and bliss, Helps you manage stresses, adversity, and hardship in a way that keeps you whole, Serves a greater purpose for all, provides your basic needs AND Provides abundance in incredible and unexpected ways. When purposeful work is mentioned in this program it will include career and many other areas of your life. You will see that I provide smaller programs that emphasize life path in reference to particular areas of your life like relationships, health, spiritual awakening and social life but this is simply to make all of this easier to process and to reduce any feelings of being overwhelmed--bite-size healing and wholeness. We spend a big part of our lives working. In fact, most people spend over 90,000 hours on the job throughout their life. With all that time working, it makes sense to want to be doing something that fulfills your purpose. Look at these facts about the importance of having a purposeful work-life is: 9 out of 10 workers would take a pay cut if they had the opportunity to do purposeful work. Employees want their work to be meaningful. Those who have meaningful work emerge as leaders and top contributors. Turnover rates are lower when work is meaningful. Employees with meaningful work are happier, more productive, and harder workers, according to BetterUp.com. Finding your purpose is a lifelong pursuit. There are a few lucky ones who discover their purpose early on, but most people struggle over and over again trying to figure out what exactly they were meant to do on earth. This program will dig deeper and guide you to better understand what your purpose is and why you most definitely have one even if you have failed to find it before, think you lost it, feel too old, too young, sick, too poor, too unqualified, too or not enough anything because we are gaining balance together in this process. Exploring and finding your purpose are the first steps in creating a fulfilling life and career that fills you with passion and allows you to use your talents-even the ones you forgot you had or went dormant. But first, you need to know what purpose is and why it’s important.

Keeping a journal is one of the best ways to get to know yourself on the deepest level. It reveals your inner thoughts, feeling and desires. Journaling allows you to connect with who you are, helping you discover things about yourself you never knew before. By learning about yourself, you discover what you really want in life, and what your passion is. Many people find starting a journal daunting. It’s difficult to know how to use journaling as a self-discovery tool let alone know where to start. Begin with these ideas to help you get started in the self-discovery journaling process. Write down your doubts, fears, anxieties and worries. Fears and doubts, worries and anxieties manifest into much bigger problems in your mind if you don’t deal with them. Bottling up your emotions and thoughts makes them begin to feel a lot worse than they really are. Writing them down in a journal gets them out of your head. It gives you the chance to see ways to resolve them. As you journal about them, you can look closer at the fears and doubts. Explore where they are coming from without judgment. You may surprise yourself with how much more you learn about yourself and your ability to overcome your fears, worries, doubts and anxieties in your life. Journal about your passions, the things that make you happy and bring you joy. Focus on the positive things in your life as well on your journey of self-discovery. Focusing solely on the negative aspects in your life won’t be helpful in the long term. Instead, write about the things you enjoy. Write down what you were passionate about as a child (you already started this in the first model so keep going), what you enjoy doing now, have always enjoyed but no longer do, or would love to learn to do. Identify what you are passionate about. This helps you discover what makes you happy. Once you know that, you can make a plan and follow it to do more of whatever that is. Don’t forget to journal about the things you’re grateful for as well. This works especially well if you’re having trouble thinking positively since it automatically improves your mindset. Journal in the third person format. This might feel a bit strange to do but writing in the third person actually helps you see solutions by distancing you from the issue. This allows you to be able to look at the issue from a different perspective. Start writing in the third person for any issues you can’t resolve. What advice would you give someone in the same situation? Use the third-person narrative to explore your passions that lead to a deeper purpose in life. It’s a kind of “act as if” type of writing that lets you become someone else, often releasing the passions that are true for you. Use prompts in your journaling to become self-aware. There are several you can use. For example, look at your favorite inspirational quotes. Now create an entire journal page about it. Ask yourself questions to prompt your writing. “What do I feel is missing from my life?” Any deep question that requires a well-thought-out answer is the one that may help you discover more about yourself.

Make Small, Soul-Aligned Shifts & Experience Major Fulfillment Now that you know what path to follow and how to cope with feeling scared, it’s time to make moves toward your aligned work. As with anything, you won’t reach your ultimate goal overnight but if you start off with a small milestone to reach – or a few tasks a day until you’re comfortable with the idea of making changes – you’ll reach those smaller milestones sooner and have that feeling of accomplishment that will only drive you forward. Remember, you are in the driver’s seat! YOU get to decide which direction to travel. Here are some ideas to get started making your move into more aligned work: 1. Start with a small goal. What’s one thing you can do today – or in the next 24 hours – to move you closer to where you want to be? It can be something as simple as tweeting about the subject you’re truly passionate about or something as big as letting go of a non-aligned client. 2. Use the “add what you love” vs “subtract what you don’t” method. Focus on filling your schedule with work you love first. For example, add in a perfect-fit client rather than worrying about giving up a part of your business that you hate. That part will come but focus on the happy aligned part first. 3. Outsource bit by bit. Invest some money now and you’ll save a lot of time and energy. This is especially true if there are pieces of your current business that you’ll also need to do in your new business, such as invoicing or graphic design. If those are not your areas of expertise, find an affordable expert who can handle those projects for you. 4. Run a beta version of whatever it is you truly want to do. Announce it to your current network and gauge interest – see if anyone you already know would be interested, so the pivot feels less intense and less like “starting over.” If the beta version is well-received, you’ll know you’re on the right track. If interest is lukewarm, you’ll know to do more research. 5. Start talking about it on social media. Can you find a way to tie it into what you currently do? There’s almost always a way. Drum up excitement and have real conversations to identify a need and other perspectives you may not have thought of before. 6. Round up a nest egg to float you. Ask your own financial advisor for more personalized advice, but it never hurts to have extra cash around as you make changes which will likely diminish your monthly income. 7. Make a small pivot within your business that will free up your energy. For example, replace one poor-fit client with a more aligned client. Even small, consistent changes over time are steps in the right direction. Nothing says you have to stop what you’re doing and make a major overhaul overnight. 8. Surround yourself with others following their callings and/or unconventional career paths. Join a mastermind, local meetup or even a Facebook group where people are going after their true dreams instead of what society – or their families – have deemed acceptable. Choosing a group where the people are also similar to you in terms of temperament, and personality can also be helpful when it comes to feeling like YOU can do this, too. Make sure these are people you ENJOY and feel comfortable sharing your struggles and/or fears. Don’t expect massive changes in your business or shifts in your mindset to happen overnight. However, don’t be complacent and think you can take your time getting started with these changes. The longer you resist the urge to do what you truly want to do, the harder making the shift becomes. How many times in the past have you talked yourself out of a good idea, simply because you didn’t jump on it right away? Instead, you played it safe and found others who tackled the same idea, thus making you feel like the market was saturated. It’s easier not to even try, isn’t it? There’s a school of thought that ‘money loves speed,’ and that the quicker you act on an idea, the quicker the money will come rolling in. There’s a bit of truth in that statement. No, the money won’t come flooding in like a slot machine spills coins but the quicker you move on an idea, the quicker you’ll reap the rewards. You’ll instinctively make quick but careful decisions because you won’t want to lose your momentum. Your excitement will expand because you’re moving quickly and that excitement will spread to all who are hearing about your new idea. Pretty soon you’ll have a snowball effect and before you know it, you’ll have a soul-aligned life and/or business. And you’ll wonder why you didn’t make these changes sooner. Exercise Worksheet 11 Making Small Shifts Taking The Next Steps Making your purpose a passionate part of your life requires you to incorporate purpose into everything you do. Once you know what your purpose is and how you want it to be a part of your life, you’ll find ways to lead you towards living that way. For a purposeful life to be fulfilled, you must have consistent behavior in both your public and private life. This means acting true to your purpose and yourself, not losing focus and finding alternative ways of dealing with obstacles. There are tools and systems you should adopt to help you along the way. · Use journaling or keeping a diary as a way to see where you are each day. · Set goals on each step you need to take along the way. · Focus on the small steps but remember the big picture. · Be true to your values and authentic in your actions. Don’t try to fit in. Be yourself. · Visualize how your purposeful life looks. Use vision boards. Write your life story. Meditate for a clear picture. · Make a plan and take the small steps needed. Find the resources you need, connect with the people who will help you and begin taking action on getting where you want to be. Live your life with the end goal in mind. You have the image or the picture already in mind. Use it to examine every area of your life. Use it so that whatever you do on any day doesn’t change your overall purpose. The end goal should be the reason you take certain steps, do things a certain way and act the way you do. When you make purpose a passionate part of your life it shows up in how you show up and what matters to you.

Module 1: What is Purpose “Everyone has a purpose in life…a unique gift or special talent to give to others. And when we blend this unique talent with service to others, we experience the ecstasy and exultation of our own spirit, which is the ultimate goal of goals.” – Deepak Chopra According to Dictionary.com, Purpose (noun) is the reason something is done, created, or exists. When you think of your purpose, most of the time you think of “Why” – why someone is working on something, why a task matters to a job, or why a job matters to someone. We want to know that the outcome is meaningful. “It’s just built into our DNA,” says Jacinta Jimenez, a psychologist, and the head of coaching at the leadership development platform, BetterUp.com. “As human beings, we’re wired to connect, and part of our purpose is serving others or serving the greater good, something outside of us that allows us to feel more connected.” However, this is best done when our own basic needs are also met so we can give the best of ourselves to others. In other words, the sweet spot is the BALANCE of energy. This need to connect and serve others so you can feel more connected motivates you to fulfill your own purpose. Your life purpose, then is the reason you get up after awakening, the motivating goal of your life so to speak. Your purpose can be the guide you use when making decisions that influence your behavior, shapes your goals, and gives you a sense of direction or creates meaning in your life. For some, purpose is connected their career, the meaningful, satisfying work they do. While for others, their purpose comes from their responsibilities to their family and friends. Others still look for meaning through spirituality or religious beliefs. However, purpose is in every aspect of their life. Purpose is unique for each person; what you identify as your path will be different from someone else. It can shift and change throughout your life according to your changing priorities and the variations in your experiences. When you reflect upon your life purpose you may find certain questions arising. These might include: Who am I? Where do I belong? When do I feel fulfilled? What is my purpose in life? The purpose is our reason why. It’s the driving force behind our actions, our goals, and our fulfillment. Living a life of purpose, either through work, volunteerism, creative expression, caring for our planet and animals or some other way, helps us become fulfilled and happier. “Start from where you are – not where you wish you were.

Challenge Your Old Beliefs So You Can Stop Stalling & Step Boldly Forward Experts believe that our limiting beliefs – actually ANY beliefs that we have about ourselves and our abilities – are likely formed between the ages of 0-8 years old. These lessons are not necessarily verbalized to us but children are exceptionally smart, even as newborns. Babies need human contact in order to thrive and studies show that babies who do not have doting parents and are left in a crib without their needs met will develop feelings of abandonment and distrust. The human body and brain are truly amazing things. So, if all our most important lessons are learned at this early age, you might think we’re doomed because people are living well into their 80s and 90s nowadays, right? Don’t be so quick to believe that. Yes, these are learned lessons and behaviors BUT they can also be unlearned and changed. This is where the Personal Development genre comes in! While you can find hundreds of different methods for breaking limiting beliefs and adapting a growth mindset, the truth is that brain’s neuropathways CAN readjust and reform, so that eventually your limiting beliefs will feel less and less prominent in your everyday life. Consider it a transformation. You’ll just need to put in the work consistently in order to notice the shifts. Have you heard the quote, “Your past does not define your future?” It’s another one that appears in memes and it’s absolutely true. Whatever you have suffered or learned in your past can be changed. Moving into aligned work can be scary and intimidating. It can also bring us face-to-face with our worst fears about ourselves and our worthiness (not to mention other people’s opinions of us). Let me pause to give you a PSA: You will never please everyone, so try your best not to listen to others’ opinions of us. Of course, accept constructive feedback that will help improve your business but don’t take it personally. Likewise, do not attach your ‘worthiness’ to your work. You, as a human being, are worthy of everything life has to offer you. You are worthy simply because you exist. Getting back to our fears: It’s far less scary – and less damaging to the ego – to “fail” at work you don’t love, rather than work you feel is your calling. However, when you’re aligned with your work, you’re more prone to find solutions to problems because your calling is so much more important to you. You may also accept that “failure is not an option” with your calling because you believe in it with your whole heart. Making sweeping changes and stepping into a new calling is certainly scary and stretchy but it IS possible. Here are few tried-and-tested ways to make the transition into your purpose easier: · Get your fears down on paper and then tear that paper up or burn it to symbolically release them from your conscious. Exercise 1 Worksheet 9 Challenge Your Beliefs The next step includes prompts and an assignment to directly face your fears...and you're gonna rock it!!

“Follow your own passion - not your parents,’ not your teachers’ - yours.”- Robert Ballard You’ve taken the time to explore your talents and discover your passions and have determined what fills you with purpose. You know what you want and how you want to show up. You’re ready to make your purpose a passionate part of your life. Before you can claim your passions, talents, and purpose to connect with the work you want to do in life, you have to figure out how to make it a part of your life every day. Living a passionate life begins with what brings you joy, knowing what you care about and why you create the things you do. Purpose is defined as your why, your motive or the justification for doing the work you do. It’s the purposeful work that contributes in a deeper way with the world and allows you to use the skills and talents with passion. Following your purpose and living a passionate life allows you to offer value to others. So how can you use how you’ve narrowed down your primary reason for being? “The dynamic process of aligning yourself with your life purpose requires energy and willpower: wind in your sails to move you forward, and a strong rudder to prevent being blown off course,” writes Victor Strecher, a behavioral scientist at the University of Michigan’s School of Public Health, and author of the book called Life on Purpose. Making your purpose a passionate part of your life requires energy and willpower, setting a course and taking action. Of course, these can be boosted by having a healthy lifestyle that includes sleeping and eating well, getting plenty of exercise and being present in your everyday life through meditation, prayer, or other practices. A healthy lifestyle influences every other area of your life. Along with a healthy lifestyle, though, is the need to take action and be aware of every choice or decision you make as it relates to your purpose. In this module, we’ll dig deeper into how you can implement your purpose into your life. We’ll look at goals, visualizing what you want, healthy lifestyle and taking action daily. Let’s get started.

Here are a few prompts: 1. What have you learned about life, yourself and the world we live in that makes you nervous to pursue this path? 2. What beliefs do you hold right now about what’s possible and what’s not? 3. What past fears, insecurities and doubts come up when you think about pursuing this path? 4. What past failures or experiences do you keep replaying in your mind as reasons you can’t pursue this path? 5. Which parts of your old life are you afraid to lose if you pursue this new path? (i.e., relationships, habits, etc.) Try the following fear replacement exercise: · Think about what you truly want to be doing. · What are the ‘excuses’ that immediately pop into your head that tell you, “You can’t”? · Are these reasons legitimate (i.e., “I don’t actually want to do a group coaching program because I value my one-on-one connections more, and that’s my priority right now”), or are they made up (i.e., “My current private clients would hate me if I moved to a group-only model.”)? · Replace each “made up” fear with a more realistic, opposite thought. Prepare to be uncomfortable. Remember that everything sucks, sometimes. You get to choose what kind of suck you want to deal with, though. A boring job sucks and running your own business can sometimes suck. But would you rather be working for someone else and doing something you don’t care about, or would you rather deal with the problems that come with running your own business? Everything involves sacrifice, some sort of cost (energetic, monetary or both). What struggle or sacrifice are you willing to tolerate in order to get the outcome on the other side? What unpleasant experiences are you willing to handle? As Mark Manson says, “Embrace embarrassment. Feeling foolish is part of the path to achieving something important, something meaningful. The more a major life decision scares you, chances are the more you need to be doing it.” Grounding yourself daily and taking care of your nervous system will propel your forward with these changes. It’s important to remember that while, yes, you will be uncomfortable as you make steps toward your purpose, you can still take care of yourself. Try breathwork or grounding exercises to help you stay regulated while you make moves. If your nervous system gets too overwhelmed, you might shut down or decide to stop making progress. Regularly remind yourself why you’re doing this. “Getting into alignment” might be a scary process, but once you get ‘to the other side’ life becomes infinitely easier. Areas where you once felt stuck or struggled start to flow. Clients will show up like magic, money will flow in, and you’ll find opportunities showing up in the strangest places. Plus, you’ll finally be able to look yourself in the eye and confidently say you’re doing what you truly came here to do–and that feeling is priceless.

Transformational Starter Brainstorming You can get your included blank 100-page PDF notebook here, it's digital but you can print out physical pages yourself or edit the pages digitally using FormSwift and PDFExpress.com Exercise 1: Keep this journal as you do the course. Maybe you already do this, but I want to challenge you to keep a daily, purpose journal. Here’s how that works. First, set aside time each day for journaling. This can be the first thing when you wake up (great for planning), the last thing before you go to bed (perfect for gratitude), or even right after lunch. It doesn’t matter so much what time, but that you make an unbreakable appointment with yourself, and that you commit to doing the work—even when it feels hard or uncomfortable. Next, you can use your journal with a section for brainstorming and use another section (or download another copy for yourself) for answering specific questions each day. This type of journaling helps you maintain focus, and will allow you to look back later and know exactly what works, what doesn’t, and where you might want to focus your energy. Some questions to ask each day include: 1. What was the best thing that happened to me today? 2. How did I make someone else’s day better? 3. How could today have been better? 4. What’s the one big thing I want to get done today? 5. What’s one thing I did today just for me? 6. Who made me smile today? 7. What has been my biggest achievement this week? 8. Fast forward to next year. What has changed about your life or your business? You don’t have to answer each and every question every day, and there may be others you’d like to add to your list. Have fun with it, and use your journal as a source of inspiration and reflection. Look forward to what you hope to achieve, and backwards at how far you’ve come. Taking note of recurring themes in your journal is a powerful way to discover your true passion. If the best thing that happens to you every day is that you served a beautiful dinner to your family, then it’s clear that being a mom and a great cook is one of your passions. On the other hand, if your day could have been better if you didn’t have to struggle with your accounting software, clearly bookkeeping is not something you want to pursue. Another thing to include in your journal is gratitude. Every day, you’re surrounded with reasons to be grateful. It didn’t rain until after your son’s last baseball game of the season. You remembered at the last minute to take your new sweater out of the dryer and avoided disaster. That cold you felt coming on yesterday passed you by after all. By noting the small (and large) things you’re grateful for, it will help keep your attitude positive, and when you’re happy, you’re more open to discovering your life’s passions. One last point about journaling—embrace your creative side. Many people love to journal on a computer. It’s fast and with you everywhere. But it also tends to be cold and impersonal. Rather than using a bland old Word or text document for your daily journaling, consider creating a pretty paper journal instead. Buy pens in different colors, and fill your journal with not just words, but pictures and doodles and anything else that makes you happy. Collect fun stickers to add to your pages, use sticky notes for important points, and even tuck a photo or two into your updates to remind you of what you’ve achieved. Remember, your journal is for your eyes only, and you’ll be more likely to use it if it’s as colorful and unique as you are. Exercise 2: Create a Journaling Space Journaling should be fun and inspiring, not dry and boring. It’s not a college essay, but rather a tool to help you discover your deeper truth. Along with your notebook, collect your other journaling supplies and tuck them away in a beautiful bag you can easily pull out when it's journaling time. Be sure to include: 1. Brightly colored pens 2. Sticky notes 3. Pencils 4. Stamps and stickers 5. Erasers Now you can view the brainstorming video and begin the specific assignments In your journal or sheet of paper, and start writing down ideas. Anything that comes to mind, write it down. Look around your home and space, on your computer, on your bookshelf, for inspirations, and just write them down. There are no bad ideas at this stage. Write everything down, and evaluate them later. Ask around, and surf for possibilities. Ask other people for ideas. See what others have discovered as their passions. Look all over the Internet for ideas. The more possibilities you find, the more likely your chances of finding your true passion. Don't make huge major decisions or quit your job just yet. If you find your calling, your passion, don’t just turn in your resignation tomorrow. It is best to stay in your job or situation while you are researching the possibilities. If you can do your passion as a side job, and build up the income for a few months or a year, that is even better. It gives you a chance to build up some savings (and if you are going into business for yourself, you will need that cash reserve) while practicing the skills you need. See below for more. Try it first. It is best to actually test your new idea before jumping into it as a career. Do it as a hobby or side job at first, so that you can see if it’s really your true calling. You may be passionate about it for a few days, but where the rubber meets the road is whether you’re passionate about it for at least a few months. If you pass this test, you have probably found it. Do as much research as possible. Know as much about your passion as possible. If this has been a passion for a while, you may have already been doing this. At any rate, do even more research. Read every website possible on the topic, and buy the best books available. Either find other people, in your area or on the Internet, who do what you want to do for a living, and quiz them about the profession. How much do they make? What training and education did they need? What skills are necessary? How did they get their start? What recommendations do they have? Often you will find that people are more than willing to give advice. Practice, and practice, and practice some more. Do not go into it with amateur skill level. If you want to make money — to be a professional — you need to have professional skills. Get very good at your future career and you will make money at it. Practice for hours on end. If it is something you love, the practice should be something you want to do. Never quit trying. Can’t find your passion at first? Give up after a few days and you’re sure to fail. Keep trying, for months on end if necessary and you’ll find it eventually. Thought you found your passion but you got tired of it? No problem! Start over again and find a new passion. There is more than one passion in your lifetime, so explore all the possibilities. Found your passion but haven’t been successful making a living at it yet? Do not give up. Keep trying, and try again, until you succeed. Success does not come easy, so giving up early is a sure way to fail. Keep trying, and you will get there.

If you think you’ve got an idea of what you want to do (or even if you don’t), use the following journaling prompts to really nail it down: What is something you want to do or fantasize about doing, but don’t actually do? This might be something that’s constantly in the back of your mind, or a big dream you push away because it seems “unrealistic.” What would you do even if you weren’t getting paid for it? What would you do if you could do anything–literally, anything–without worrying about money? What are your top values? Are there any elements of your current work you’d really love to keep? What are you super passionate about? What could you talk about for hours on end? What do you research in your free time? (Sometimes these topics of interest are just hobbies but they can often point to your passion and purpose, too.) What did your 10-year-old self want to do? What are you currently doing in your business that you enjoy doing? What if you HAD to leave your house every day, where would you go and what would you do? If you knew you were going to die in one year, what would you do? What would you want to leave behind as your legacy? I know, this last one is morbid but it serves a useful purpose. More often than not we place limiting beliefs on ourselves. These are the beliefs that “this is all there is to life,” or “I can’t possibly do that.” When we take off those limiting beliefs, it becomes easier to dream and identify our heart’s desires. Another exercise to reflect on and journal about is called Your Ideal Day. Close your eyes and think about waking up the next morning. You don’t have a care in the world; you don’t need a salary to pay the bills and you can do whatever you want for the next 24 hours. Visualize yourself in this scenario and then notice the details about your day. Exercise 1: My Ideal Day Exercise 2: Chase Shiny Things
