Being Open to a Sense of Purpose

There’s a driving force within each and every one of us. No matter your interests, goals or aspirations in this life. A drive to be the best that we can be. It could be to start a charity that supports your community. It could be to make it to the Olympics or to sail around the world. Or, it could be to sell the best lemon meringue pie your town has ever seen! It is a calling within us that drives us to ‘more’. Ambition has nothing to do with it. It is our own personal sense of purpose. And if you think you don’t have it, I urge you to think on it some more because, trust me you do!

Do You Need To Master Your Emotions?

We’re an emotional species. It’s part of being human. So, why do we feel that we need to control our emotions? Why do we think mastering our emotions makes us ‘better’ somehow?

I’d like to look at mastering your emotions from a different perspective in this blog because I believe we need to befriend our emotions, and NOT try to control them. We need to reconnect with our humanity, and learn to master our emotions through lovingly accepting them instead.

Forget Fitting In: Try Being Authentic Instead

Can I ask you, why do we so badly want to fit in? What is the drive, deep within us that pushes us to be anything but ourselves in order to be acceptable to, and accepted by, others? How is it possible that we choose the acceptance of our peers over our own? It seems ridiculous. And yet, we are overwhelmingly more likely to go against our own nature in order to please our friends, family and even colleagues! What is the appeal, and the pull of fitting in that is so magnetic?

Your Outlook on Life Effects your Entire Experience

A couple of weeks ago I had what I would call an ‘unlucky day’. I bruised my ankle, bumped my arm, had a bug fly into my ear and then ended the day scraping the palm of my hand open as I gracefully fell towards a closed door. Lol. I could have been fuming after all of that. I could have raised my fists and cursed at the skies. But I laughed it off because I don’t believe that kind of outlook on life can benefit me or set me up for a good day. Or, a good life.

Deciding to Show up for Yourself

There is a lot of focus on showing up for everyone else in our lives. But what does it look like to show up for yourself? Does this mean neglecting your duties or responsibilities to the people in your life or can we find a healthy balance so that we don’t get left behind? I’d like to think that we absolutely can show up for ourselves without dropping the ball on other areas of our lives. In fact, I’m going to insist that we show up better for others when we show up for ourselves first!

Truth Bomb: Your Dreams Might be Hurting more than your Reality

I feel like this was a bit of an ‘ah-ha’ moment or realization for me. A moment of clarity. Driving to pick my kids up from school I found myself thinking, ‘are my dreams hurting me more than my present reality?’. This thought, this truth bomb from the heavens, really took the wind out of my sails. This is major! This means my entire life experience is being pointed in the wrong direction, even with all the best intentions!

Action is Good, Inspired Action is Better!

What does inspired action mean to you? I’ve been hearing so much about this idea of working when inspired. Taking inspired action. The idea has taken root in my mind because I am very much against the push to get things done kind of mentality. I know we are all different but for me 1hr peak performance far outweighs 5hrs of uninspired drudgery. Lol. Plus, I also get all excited by the idea of being inspired by something greater than ourselves. By a life purpose. But is it for everyone, this inspired action approach? Or does it work for some while not so much for others?

Turn That Frown Upside Down with the Power of Gratitude

Let me ask you something. Can you feel negative when your heart is full of gratitude? Does life feel heavier or lighter when you focus on what you are grateful for? I’m all about Gratitude. I believe it is one of the most powerful emotions that we have and that it can actually change our lives completely. If we understand this power we can use it to turn that frown upside down any day of the week! What a wonderful tool for shifting our mood and our perspective.
