HOW TO FIND YOUR PURPOSE: A STEP-BY-STEP GUIDE

What is my purpose in life? A question we've all asked ourselves many times.

What we've been taught to believe about our purpose in this lifetime is all kinds of misleading and we are a society of misguided looking for answers to help guide us because of it.

To live our true purpose, we need to first clearly understand what it is and what it's not before we dive into the HOW to live your purpose.

Here is what I mean...

PURPOSE: MISCONCEPTIONS VS THE TRUTH

• Misconception #1 - Purpose is WHAT you do
  Most people believe that your purpose is the job you have (ie a Doctor) or the roles play (ie being a mom) but that's simply not the case.

• Truth - Your Purpose is WHO you are
  Who you are doesn't change much over time, but HOW you express it does. How you choose to express who you are is the true purpose of your life.

• Misconception #2 - Purpose is singular
  There is a stigma that leads us to believe that each of us has a single purpose. For those of us who are multi-passionate, this feels extremely stifling to be forced into a box.

• Truth - You can express your purpose in many ways
  Since your purpose is WHO you are, and you are many things, it's silly to think you're expected to express just one single thing for an entire lifetime. You are different and multi-passionate and for a reason. Imagine if a piano only ever expressed one of its many keys... the world would miss out on the many melodies and songs that we all love so much.

• Misconception #3 - It's something out there to "find"
  So often we hear people say they want to "find" their purpose as if it's lost. It's not lost! It's been right under your nose this whole time!

• Truth - It's not lost. It's withIN you, because it is you.
  The only thing to find is the guidance of your intuition nudging you towards how you wish to express it. Let me explain...

HOW TO LIVE YOUR PURPOSE

Now that we know what your purpose IS and ISN'T let's talk about how to live and embody your purpose. I go much deeper into each of these in my program but this will get you started for now:

STEP 1 - IDENTIFY YOUR AUTHENTIC CORE
Your authentic core is the framework of who you are using the historical data of your life thus far. To start finding your authentic core start asking yourself questions like:

1. What did I love as a kid that I couldn't get enough of and why?

2. What am naturally skilled at that brings me joy?

3. If I could spend my week doing anything, what would I do?

4. What patterns or themes with myself, or others have I experienced often in life?

When you start connecting the dots to what brings you joy as well as themes or patterns in your life you pull out the core pieces of what makes you 'you' that have been there within you all along.

STEP 2 - CONNECT & TRUST YOUR INTUITION

Your intuition is like your internal GPS. It's the communication method of your higher self, your guides, angels, the universe, etc who are helping you navigate your life to live out your purpose.
When your intuition sends you nudges or "pings" that make you feel drawn toward certain things, it is your job to catch these messages and trust that you're being guided. The same can be said in reverse when you feel adverse or even completely neutral feelings towards something. Take that as an indication to move away from what you are NOT drawn to.

STEP 3 - AUDIT YOUR LIFE

Once you know what your authentic core is and how to use your intuition, do a review of each area of your life and determine what is and isn't aligned with your authentic core and where your intuition is guiding you. This step can be a little tricky to navigate because it means you may need to walk away from certain things in your life that you may love but are no longer serving your highest good. But the positive output is that it will highlight the gaps in your life that are waiting for you to leverage for your purpose.

STEP 4 - DESIGN YOUR LIFE AROUND YOUR AUTHENTIC CORE

Consider how you desire to express your authentic core in each area of your life. What do you want it to look like? This is your chance to create your own authentic "box" instead of fitting into the generic box society sets as the standard. We weren't meant to be standard and the same; we are all unique for a reason. Write down everything that would be a dream life for you that's aligned with your authentic core.

STEP 5 - MANIFEST IT WITH ALIGNED ACTION
There is an art to manifesting the life you desire where you get to live your purpose and express your authentic core. It takes finding a balance between taking action and surrendering to the divine timing and guidance of the universe. The universe and your intuition will guide you toward how your authentic core wants to be expressed but you must be patient. Often, myself included, we get an intuitive ping and our ego takes off running with how to bring it to life without continuing to receive the additional intuitive guidance. As you take action to bring your purpose to life, ensure you are walking alongside your intuition and not leaving it in the dust!

STEP 6 - UNBLOCK YOUR LIMITING BELIEFS & FEARS
Your fears and limiting beliefs that present themselves as you take action on your intuitive guidance are the antidote to what's standing between you, your purpose, and your dreams. As you notice feelings of resistance, fear, or negative thoughts come up, it becomes the perfect invitation to alchemize those triggers. On the other side of alchemizing your blocks and growing beyond them, it will magnetize what you are manifesting towards you MUCH faster.
