Let's begin our practice on life purpose.
The most important thing to know is that all of the different roles you play teacher,
Artist,
Writer,
Parent,
Business owner,
Coach none of those things are your purpose but they can lead you to understanding your purpose more clearly.
So for this practice I want you to pick one role that you play,
That you like and then you can come back to this practice again and again for all of the different roles you play in your life to get clearer and clearer on your purpose.
Let's dive in.
Go ahead and place your hands over the center of your chest one over the other and close your eyes if you feel comfortable doing so.
Take a deep breath in and a breath out.
Now to the count of three,
Inhale with me for one two,
Three,
Hold for one two,
Three,
Exhale one two,
Three.
Again,
Inhale one two,
Three,
Hold for one two,
Three,
Exhale one two,
Three.
One more time.
Inhale one two,
Three,
Hold for one two,
Three,
Exhale one two,
And three.
And I'd like you to just breathe normally now and stay in this internal space and just think of one of the roles that you have in your life that you like.
One of the nouns you play in your life.
For now,
Just pick one thing.
And now,
Imagine yourself doing this role to its fullest extent.
Whatever it is,
You're doing it in a way that lights you up completely.
Imagine yourself in the fullest,
Most incredible expression of this role now.
Now,
As you keep this role in mind ask yourself when I imagine myself doing this role in a way that lights me up what am I really doing underneath the role?
What am I bringing to the world through this role?
What am I really doing?
And then ask yourself,
What are you awakening in others as you do this role?
How are you serving the people around you through this role that you play?
And now take everything that's bubbling up for you here and see if you can sum up what's come to you in a short sentence or phrase.
And now you might notice that this sentence or statement of what you're really doing underneath your role or what you want to be doing actually might overlap with some of the other roles you play in your life.
Let everything that's bubbling up for you land in your heart and when you're ready,
Take a deep breath in and a deep breath out and softly and gently I invite you to open your eyes.
So this statement,
This phrase of what you started to come up with what's bubbling up for you is a part of the definition of your purpose but your purpose is not just this one thing and so you can imagine that with the different roles you play there might be some different definitions that will help you get an overarching picture of what your purpose truly is instead of trying to sum it up like capitalism would have us do in one sentence.
This is not a sales pitch.
This is your life purpose.
It's more complex than that.
And so I invite you to come back to this practice again and do it again with a different role if you'd like to find more nuance to describe your purpose more fully and I'd love,
I'd be so grateful if you share what came up for you in the comments because I love to hear about the purpose that is arising in all of you.
