How to Live in Alignment With Your Soul’s Purpose
If you’ve ever wondered, Am I on path? What would light me up right now? How can I bring my dreams into fruition? This is for you. Here are 7 quick tips to remember to help you live in alignment and create the life of your dreams.
Do what most excites you, what makes you feel alive. Follow what feels good and what lights you up (take baby steps into this if you need and stretch into doing what feels good more and more overtime). Feeling excitement or true joy is the higher self’s clue for us that we are on the right path and this would be good for us to pursue. It’s an indication of our dharma and is so helpful to follow, even if it means doing something outside of our comfort zone, as it will often lead us to where we’ve always wanted to go and more extraordinary happenings than we thought possible. Surround yourself with people who are doing the same and support you to live big. If you don’t have people like this in your life currently (I was the same a few years ago), listen to podcasts and read books from people who inspire you. You’ll find those people eventually as you lean into your own bigness more and more.
Don’t worry about it making sense to your intellect or even to the people around you. Don’t wait for others to give you permission. Follow through on your authentic inspiration. Be bold.
Slow down, breathe into your heart, connect to the earth beneath you, and align to the truth. Allow any illusions to fall away that are keeping you from stepping into your birthright. These might be stories of inadequacy, stories from your family or society, or based on past negative experiences such as “nothing ever works out for me,” “I have to try hard to succeed,” “I have to do it on my own,” “Every time things go well for me, others attack me or bring me down,” etc. Give these stories to source and feel into what’s really true for you in this moment. Many of us have experienced a tremendous amount of conditioning that keeps us feeling trapped, tight or out of sorts when we even think about living our purpose—but these stories are just stories. They are not real and do not have to control our lives anymore. Breathe and trust the resonance you feel within. Continue to be willing to work with yourself and let go of any programming or stories that are holding you back from living your truth. Limiting beliefs no longer have the power to determine the outcome of your life if you no longer give energy to them. Ask for help with this if you need to. A great question to help illuminate limiting beliefs is, “What is keeping me from living my purpose?” and then listen for the answer and take action.
Commit to yourself and to the Universe that you are dedicated to living your purpose and following your path wherever it leads you. Write a note and put it somewhere you can see it with an intention from your heart to live your purpose. Feel the truth of that every time you see it and for bonus points, connect to your future self that is already living it and let that feeling of living your purpose fuel you. Trust that the universe conspires to support you every step of the way. That is the wonderful truth of our reality: we are totally, 100% supported every minute of our lives. It would not be in our hearts if we were not meant to live it. Receive that support. You are not alone on this journey.
Let go of your cherished outcomes and expectations. Don’t worry about what will happen in the future or if it will all happen the way you thought it would. Try not to make up stories of what might happen (and getting attached to them) based on what’s happening now. Just enjoy the ride. This helps create more spaciousness in your being and your life for what the universe has in mind for you, which will be greater and more amazing than you could have ever planned for. This is easier said than done, but with practice and awareness, it becomes easier to let go and trust in the divine plan for your life.
Trust in what time will bring you (and how much things can change in time). Take doable steps in the direction of your highest excitement now and just start where you are. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by not being where you want to be, get curious about making little shifts now that are doable for you. (Do your best to refrain from being hard on yourself. What would light you up more right now? Being hard on yourself for your ‘failings’ or being loving and encouraging? Judgment and harsh criticism isn’t really helpful to get anyone further along their path and tends to create more stuck energy for us to dwell in. You are in the perfect place to begin; accept and forgive yourself for where you are now if needed. Focus on what you can do vs what is lacking or what you haven’t done). Be curious about what will unfold, who might be your ally, what you will discover, and what might bloom for you in the future. Let yourself be surprised. This is your life and everything in it is the perfect setup to support you in walking your true path and realizing your dreams.
It’s okay to make mistakes. It’s okay to not know, to learn, to mess up stuff, to discover that what you thought you’d like, you don’t, or to love what you never expected to love. You are learning through the experience of living. This is actually the point of our lives! To experience! You can’t figure it all out before actually doing it. That’s why there is no such thing as failure, just different choices and ways of living. Time to live it. Get messy and feel what’s real for you, moment to moment. Tune back into the energy of what you want and how it is already yours every time you stumble or get sidetracked. Have faith it will get easier, because it will.
Lots of love and blessings,
