I just got off the phone with the editor of Kiwi Magazine, who interviewed me for an upcoming article.
A recent study suggests people who live their purpose live longer and are more healthy and happy. It was an honor to share my insights into living a purposeful life, because I know how difficult it can be to feel stuck.
Several years ago, when I was depressed in corporate, suffering from eating disorders and addicted to drugs, I felt stuck and trapped by my own circumstances.
I was in unhealthy situations but I couldn’t break free. I knew the situations were bad for me, but I was paralyzed by fear.
Today, many of my coaching clients express the same feelings of entrapment.
Can you relate?
Do you ever feel like there is something more but you can’t seem to break free to get there?
Are you mad are yourself for being stuck, overweight, broke, single, or jobless?
For years, I would stay in unhealthy situation and was unable to find my purpose, I was hoping things would turn around. But the person being punished was me. It wasn’t until I tried these steps that things transformed.
Fear can paralyzes and keep us stuck.
But we always have the power to get out of fear by taking action. Don’t let fear paralyze you or keep you stuck. You deserve to be happy and to live your purpose and a passion-filled life.
In today’s Find Your Happy TV video, I share three questions you must ask to get unstuck and fund your life purpose.
People ask me how I found my purpose. It was a steady focus forward and many little steps that led to my big picture. I asked three powerful questions that led to my awakening and inner shift.
We often stay in unhealthy situations because we are unclear of our future. The path is blurry or we don’t know what we want. To combat this fear, ask yourself these three questions.
1. Who Am I?
You have a unique set of skills, talents and strengths that belong only to you. You have the potential to live a life where you utilize all of your natural abilities. By connecting with your values, you will learn who you are.
2. What Do I Want?
You may not know what you want right now, but taking small steps and following your heart’s nudges will guide you to clarity. Each action step you take will pull you forward. You can also return to your childhood and think about what you loved to do as a kid. Maybe you loved to write poetry or use your imagination. This might mean you value expressing yourself creatively.
3. How Can I Get There?
Take action steps each day to help pull you toward you goal. Instead of focusing on arriving, be in the journey and let the process unfold.
When you align with your truth and answer all of these questions, you will realize you have the power to leave any unhealthy situation.
