7 Things That Helped Me Find Purpose & Live the Life I Dreamed Of
I used to dream of a different life, one where I felt free, happy and purpose-filled.
But at that time in my life everything felt a bit “off”… I was stressed, unfulfilled, anxious, unwell, fearful, controlling, empty and filled with existential questions!
Doing a career that was fine but not fulfilling me. Living a lifestyle that was fine but not joyous. Being a version of me who was fine but did not feel free.
- Wondering… Is this it?
- What is my life really about?
- What is my purpose?
- HOW do I get the kind of dream life I keep yearning for?
- How can I get off this hamster wheel and experience something more… magical?
Enter a spiritual awakening, and a journey that tipped my life upside down, round about and brought me to my purpose and a life I absolutely love, with the freedom and magic I longed for.
“I am a different person after AYP than I was going in. Seriously. My perspective has softened. My plans have become way more spacious. And my new sense of identity blossoms a little more every day.”
Here are 7 things that made this transformation possible. In no particular order. There are particular people (maybe you) who are meant to get this message… not from me but from Source/Universe/God/Divinity… so here we go!
7 Things That Helps Free Me from Anxiety & Find Purpose
1. Listen to the whispers of your Soul. It will be subtle at times and roar loudly if you don’t pay attention. The nudge inside. The intuition. The longing. The vision of something possible for you beyond where and what your life is now. That exists for a reason. It’s the possibility that beckons you into a more soul aligned and fully expressed life. The mind and fear and society’s expectations will try to stomp all over your gentle soul whispers so listen, guard it fiercely and tell your Soul you hear it and will honor it (at whatever pace and way feels safe for you).
2. Which inevitably leads you to… Walk your own path in life. Omg this is huge!! You are not here to live the path society tells you, or your parents want for you, or what your friends are doing, or what the flippin advertisers show you. You are here to attune to your unique path and when you get on that path, honoring your soul and unapologetically being your full expression, magic happens!
3. Which inevitably requires… COURAGE! Because to listen to your inner whispers, a soul knowing, a vision planted in you of a life you long for… That’s hard to stack up against… “Be realistic” and “Oh that sounds risky” and “You should…” And “You shouldn’t…” and “What if…” – narratives you will hear from your own mind and often from well meaning people all around you. So courage is key. You have this one life. You are loved and supported by life. You are here to live your hero’s journey, your Soul Odyssey, to be true to your unique path, purpose and life you want.
4. Which inevitably requires a huge amount of TRUST in yourself and in life. It’s easier to place our path and choices and safety in the hands of others and it’s really uncomfortable to claim it back for ourselves and to trust in what we feel inside. To trust in how our soul is speaking to us… With passions, inspirations and intuition. None of which is logical. None of which makes sense to anyone else. But it makes sense to you and that’s what matters. Trust in yourself. And ultimately, to trust in this life, Universe, Source, God, Divinity… As you are in a partnership with that, cocreating your life. Knowing the mechanics of our Universe and the divine guidance and way we are being supported to learn, grow and live our purpose… this brings comfort and courage to trust.
5. Which leads beautifully to this nugget… Pay attention to signs and synchronicity. Your soul and Source are invested in you living fully, being in your purpose and having joy. We will literally get wake up calls to try to bump us awake and onto our highest path, into purpose, to bump us to let go of the past, to let go of fear, to get go of control, to show us openings to grow and step into the life we long for. Signs and synchronicities are real and they help us to navigate our life here.
“I am a different person after AYP than I was going in. Seriously. My perspective has softened. My plans have become way more spacious. And my new sense of identity blossoms a little more every day.”
6. Which brings us to the “make it happen” nugget, when we feel the call from within, when we see the vision beckoning us forward… Whatever ideas for our life inspire us to a new future… And we noticie life guiding us, signs, synchronicities… Nothing ever changes unless we… Take ACTION.
Any action, small steps, easy steps, safe steps or big bold steps. But life happens when we meet possibility in the field and are willing to dance with it, without knowing exactly where it might lead us or what might happen. There are no certainties in life. But I remember vividly back when I was stuck, without purpose or joy and my mind was running me… Thinking… I only know one thing for certain. If I don’t DO something differently, nothing is going to change. So I took action, on faith, with fear and anxiety tucked under my arm, following my heart’s longing, following signs and synchronicities, learning to trust with each step and walking a path veering far off course from the traditional life I had been living. And the result… I ended up in my soul purpose, and a life of magic. And I walked it learning all these things as I went. Don’t wait to have no fear, you’ll be waiting forever. Don’t wait for courage or trust, build it as you go.
7. And the nugget list is hardly complete without the main event… Free Your MIND! We get conditioned growing up. It happens to every human being. We take on beliefs from our childhood experiences and upbringing and these programs run us. Until we realize and choose new beliefs that work for us not against us. Whether it’s knowing you are inherently good enough, worthy and deserving, or that you are loved, accepted and supported. The path to fully live your life as your authentic Soul Self, and to live the life of your dreams, will ask something of you… It will ask that you DROP the identity that keeps us small and stuck. You can heal your mind and set your soul free, when you learn who you really are and how powerful you are and how supported and loved you are! This will simultaneously quell fear and uplift courage.
