Life Purpose – helping you identify yours

You are here: Home / Wellness / Life Purpose – helping you identify yours

28th May 2020 //  by franaitken

Knowing your life purpose is such an important topic for anyone in life that has always asked this question.

I felt I have always been very lucky around knowing my purpose, although it’s not complete currently, I know I’m on the right path, and things just “feel” right.

There are a multitude of ways to get to know your purpose and put you on a path that makes you feel you are headed in the right direction.

The key thing is people tend to think of life purpose, as a job or a role.  I don’t necessarily agree with this image.  Your life purpose and what you care about is normally something deeper than this, and the job or role is just a vessel to bring your purpose to the world.

For example, I believe my purpose is about helping people connect with their bodies on a deeper level, and initially, I choose being a chiropractor to allow me to bring my purpose forward in the world.  Being a chiropractor was never my purpose.  As I am stepping deeper into my authenticity, I may decide at some point to drop the title chiropractor, and step into a different vessel to bring my gifts forwards.

So how can I help you find your life purpose?

First and foremost, you need to acknowledge that you are either on a path that isn’t authentic or acknowledge to some level that you don’t know what your life purpose is.  This is normally quite a challenging task for some, but many of you reading this may have already decided that you don’t know, which is why you have come to read this article.

There are two things that you need to run side by side in order to achieve this goal, which may seem like a mountain.  But I believe it is simply a state of claiming what you already know to be true about yourself.

Many people can identify things that they like or feel good about doing.  When asked what do you like? You could real off about 4-5 different points in life, that you enjoy.  The challenge comes from thinking about what you would like to do “job” wise.  But for now, I don’t want you to think about the job or the role.  I want you to think about what you are good at and what you enjoy doing.  Is it connecting with others on a deeper level, being in nature, travelling? It could be anything.  Take time to think about what you are either good at or enjoy, then get a notepad and write them down.

When you have these things listed, then we can start work. 

First thing

You can then think about the different vessels (roles or jobs) that would help you connect to this enjoyment.  So, if you like being in nature, maybe you want to join a zoo or work in conservation.  If you want a deeper connection with others, maybe a counsellor, or therapist.  If you like to travel or being abroad, perhaps you might want to go into the world of blogging or reviewing different countries and activities, or you might like to work on a cruise liner. 

There are so many possibilities depending on what you enjoy.  It may require some trial and error.  You may just need to take the leap and apply for a role that you are not sure about, just to try it out, and see if it’s a good fit.  The idea behind this is it will get you closer to what you want to do.  Part of the journey requires you to take action. 

Don’t be afraid to get it perfect before you take that leap.  For me, my purpose and vessel are constantly in flow and realigning themselves every step in my life. 

In the beginning, I got such a strong feeling about needing to be a chiropractor, but I never wanted to adjust anybody. I didn’t like that side of things, but I got such a strong calling, so off I went to university.  Later it was revealed that I found a completely different chiropractic technique, that I knew what I wanted to do.  So, you see if I hadn’t taken the impulse to go to university and study chiropractic, I would never have found the next piece of the puzzle.

Life is just one big puzzle and you need to collect all the pieces.  I am pretty sure in my journey there are many more pieces of the puzzle, but I’m excited, and although not everything is set in place, I know I’m on the right path.

So part of this journey is just picking something, if it feels right, then go with it, and it will lead you down a path where you will find something else, or extra to add to you tool bag. This will also help you discover more about yourself, which will lead to further developments in this area.  You might start a journey and release that you don’t want to do that.  That in itself is a massive win, as it’s just about ruling things about and getting more specific.  Don’t be afraid to try something.  When you’re doing it you will get a feeling.

It’s important when thinking about life purpose, that you let the energy flow in your body.  Knowing who you are and being certain about that, flows from your pelvis.  Perhaps you may even have tight hips or pelvis, or low back?? If this is the case, then chances are quite a lot of the energy you need to feel is stuck here and needs to be liberated.  If that is true then you need to work on that, as that will effortlessly allow you to connect into that “right” feeling that I talk about.   Doing meditation or one of my release techniques on YouTube will help you liberate this energy and stiffness.

Next thing to do is to learn more about yourself. 

Take a few online tests, or personality tests, that will help you identify strengths or weaknesses.  One of my favourite ones is:

Myers-Briggs, and also Cliftonstrengths.  These test together will help you learn more about what you are good at and highlight that to you.  If that resonates then you can move forward and see what roles/jobs a good fit might be, and then go out and try one.  If it’s not right, then cross it off the list and move to the next one.  See your life purpose as an evolving journey, not as a certain “got it”.   And don’t look to social media and think that person has it all sorted, as you don’t know what’s going on in that person’s life, and what emotions they may be feeling.

Between liberating energy and stiffness in your pelvis and learning about your strengths will set you on the start of your journey to identifying who you are and who you want to be. 

You may also find useful to set some daily intentions around your purpose and what you want to incorporate into your life going forwards that will help your subconscious get your closer to your dreams.  Check out this video here.

This should give you some ideas on how to start your journey to getting closer to your purpose.  The key points being, take some online test and get to know yourself, and start liberating more energy from your pelvis that will give you insight and feel into what is “right” for you.

If you want to discover and unlock the potential in your pelvis then either join us for a guided energetic session or head over to my YouTube channel and try some of my videos to help you connect.

I hope you enjoyed reading this and it has given you a little bit of inspiration.

Blessings

😫Do you SUFFER with health challenges? Whether 😫Do you SUFFER with health challenges?  Whether pain or a problem you have had for years, that just never seems to go away? 😫⠀
⠀
I know that I did when I was younger and whilst I had tried everything under the sun to improve my health, nothing seemed to work. 🧐⠀
⠀
Why?? 🤨 because I was trying to fix my problems, and I saw all my problems as external to myself. ⠀
⠀
But the reality is that they are a part of me, when I reclaim them as something that I have created, I take responsibility for creating them.⠀
⠀
I can then ask myself what I need to change in order to become something or create something different. 💡💡💡⠀
⠀
When I asked a different question and saw my health problems in a different way, it was easy to become more aware of what I was doing to myself on a daily basis.⠀
⠀
👉👉what actually needed to happen??⠀
⠀
I needed to let go of control, create more flexibility, Become more adaptable to changing circumstances. Also trust more in the process, surrender to the universes plan for me.. Connect more with feminine flow and allow that energy to come through and express more fully... ❤️❤️⠀
⠀
These are just a few patterns I have been working on over the past 10 years. ⠀
⠀
Let me know what you feel like you need to work on that could improve your health... ⠀

How is your HEALTH Overall?? 🤔⠀ ⠀ Most peop How is your HEALTH Overall?? 🤔⠀
⠀
Most people know they have poor or average health and they also know where they want to be, but having the solution to get from point A to B is often missing. ⠀
⠀
There is information all over the Internet about health. But many people still stay stuck 🧐🧐⠀
⠀
😫When I was a teenager I had terrible health, badly balanced hormones, chronic constipation and polycystic ovarian syndrome. Along with a bunch of weight that I never seemed to be able to loose. 😫 ⠀
⠀
I had tried everything from diet changes, exercises, medication, Bowen technique, chiropractors & abdominal massages, but nothing seem to have any long term effects🤨 ⠀
⠀
💖Until one day I stumbled upon the realisation that there maybe something more, and that what was needed wasn’t just a quick fix, but an up haul of my perspective on my own health. 🙌🙌⠀
⠀
I began to realise that what I was doing (how my body and mind was responding to my environment) was responsible for building tensions in certain parts of my body (stomach area mainly)⠀
⠀
I began to gain awareness of what I was doing to myself on a daily basis. I questioned whether if I began to make changes and responded to situations/people differently whether that would make a difference to how my body was?? How my health was?? 🧐⠀
⠀
And guess what? over years of creating new patterns and behaviours, I am pleased to say, my constipation resolved about 5 years ago now, and I haven’t had any symptoms from my PCOS either for about 6-7 years.  I lost a tone a weight (approx10kg) and I have never felt better 💪⠀
⠀
Two years a ago my hubby and I walked across America from Mexico to Canada, and we now are blessed with a beautiful boy Jack 🤩🤩🤩⠀
⠀
I believe my symptoms where manifested due to behaviour patterns affecting the way I was holding my body. Once I had figured out what I needed to change, the hard work started, boy did it pay off 😁 ⠀

👉move house/country⁣
⁣
Sorry to sound harsh, but STRESS is not good for your health ✖️ PERIOD⁣
⁣
If your getting stressed 😫 even over the smallest things you need to analyse what your going to do about it. ⁣
⁣
It’s OK to get stressed 😩 about something’s/ sometimes, but if your getting stressed about the same thing... over and over then something needs to change and you have 1 of 2 options. 🧐⁣
⁣
Take a good look at lightening your load and where you can lighten it. 💜💜💜⁣
⁣
Sometimes in order to move forwards we need to leave other things behind.  It’s the natural part of things, otherwise we stay exactly the same. As humans we like growth 👆 ⁣
⁣
Where could you grow next in your life and what should you be leaving behind ?? ⁣

Double tap if you agree 💚💚💚⁣

Since jack is now a toddler I have been in a reflection period on my actions as his mum. 

🧐🧐I have come to the realisation that I keep referring to my toddler as “naughty”. I will say phrases like, “he’s really pushing my boundaries” or “he’s getting his naughty streak” 

I realised I have been conditioned by others and there own experience of toddlers, as we hear 👂 all too often that toddlers =naughty. And parents saying... oh you wait until the “Terrible two’s”.

❇️ I have been looking into my reaction when I see Jack do something that I don’t think is acceptable. He likes to throw the plum slate from our garden in the back door.  He thinks it’s the best thing in the world. 😂

At first my response was to say “no” rather sternly. In reflection I couldn’t understand why he just laughed in my face. After a time this wasn’t working. 

✅✅I came to my own conclusion that I shouldn’t focus on what I DONT want but what I DO want. 

I don’t mind him throwing but he must throw outside.  So I worked to change my language. He is starting to understand 🥳 

If I put myself in his shoes, it’s clear that he thinks throwing stones in the house is great, because it’s makes a funny noise on the kitchen tiles, he can throw quite hard, and he was getting my attention. What more could a little boy want 😍

REALITY 👉 he isn’t actually being naughty.  He just doesn’t know any different. So it’s up to me to teach him. 

How often can you fully step into another’s shoes and understand why they do the things they do?? 💖 Can you understand?? 💖 Do you want to understand??

The more you can do this the more ease you will have in life and less resistance you will get from others. 🙌 

In my example, jack learnt a good lesson and it was relatively easy once I was able to step into his shoes and view his world 🌍 

We are all doing the best we can with the tools we have, and if we can understand another’s actions we can adjust our language and response, which could be much more supportive 💖
Do you SUFFER with lower neck tension, stiffness o Do you SUFFER with lower neck tension, stiffness or discomfort?? 🧐🧐 ⁣
⁣
Have a read through and see if any of these emotional links resonate for you??⁣
⁣
➡️When we build tension in the lower neck or have stiffness in the lower cervical vertebrae often it is related to the emotion frustration and anger. ⁣
⁣
👉If anger hasn’t been fully expressed we have the potential to build tension here. 🔆 ⁣
⁣
🙄🙄As a society nowadays it’s become unacceptable to show anger, as it’s deemed as wrong or inappropriate... so loads of us keep it to ourselves. ⁣
⁣
Anger is still an emotion that is designed to protect us, and in modern life it’s related to standing up for yourself and saying what you think and what’s on your mind. ⁣
⁣
🌟🌟Especially us English, this goes against our culture, we were told speak when spoken to.  In result it silences us and our true feelings.  Which makes us feel less than, or that our opinion doesn’t matter. ⁣
⁣
👆👆this is a pattern culturally we must overcome... as our opinion does matter and must matter, just like everyone else’s. ⁣
⁣
❌Don’t keep the tension within. It’s not good for you.  And if you have so much anger then you must create a safe outlet for that anger first, before confronting the situation. ⁣
⁣

Do your NEGATIVE EMOTIONS seem to linger and keep Do your NEGATIVE EMOTIONS seem to linger and keep you feeling low? They just never seem to move on to something else?? 🧐🧐⁣
⁣
💟Do you always feel like they hold you back? and you can’t seem to figure how to help yourself when you get like that? ⁣
⁣
I have a story for you. Yesterday I was having one of those moments.  The pressure was mounting, and I felt like I was swamped. My son is going through a transition and our rhythm together has been completely out. I haven’t been sleeping well, not easily falling asleep, and I was struggling to keep up with all the things everyone was wanting from me, and I felt like I was dropping ball and feeling a failure. 😢😢⁣
⁣
📞 I called my husband and told him this, and asked if we could postpone our plans for the weekend because I just couldn’t face doing anything else.  I also said.... ⁣
⁣
AND THIS IS BIG...🙌🙌🙌🙌⁣
⁣
That If he would come home after his week away instead of going to his folks. He of course said yes, but I also said that I wasn’t sure if that was what I wanted and that I was feeling low, and making a decision from this place might not be the best thing.⁣
⁣
👉👉The thing is that you will do anything to get yourself out of this horrid negative place, because it SUCKS !! But I didn’t want to do this... I was quite happy sitting with these feelings because it’s a natural part of BEING A HUMAN. 💖💖💖⁣
⁣
💜I said that I would make a decision when these feelings had passed, as I would then be making them from an energy rich place and seeing the bigger picture. ⁣
⁣
Today I felt like I was starting to emerge from the chaos.  I was in a much better place to see and think clearly. 🙃🙃🙃⁣
⁣
💜The moral is don’t make a decision from a low energy place, be present with these feelings. Make sure you have someone to share with that will just listen, and not try to fix. ⁣
⁣
➡️There is nothing to DO here but be. Fully embrace all your emotions and they pass so much more readily ❤️❤️❤️⁣

Do you SUFFER with ANXIETY or being over cautious? Do you SUFFER with ANXIETY or being over cautious?? Listen 👂 up 👆⁣
⁣
There is so much to be fearful of right now, but you don’t need the extra stress. ⁣
⁣
When we are fearful and anxious we aren’t going to be thinking clearly, our system is in defence. We are in survival mode. ⁣
⁣
Perhaps your feeling like your just about making it through each day and just have enough energy to get to bedtime before having to start all over again tomorrow. ⁣
⁣
If this is YOU then double tap ❤️❤️⁣
⁣
Quite often when we have anxiety we don’t know what to do with it. It’s overwhelming us and we can’t seem to create a different emotion.  I’m telling you it doesn’t have to be that way. ⁣
⁣
When you feel this emotion I want you to be present with the feelings that come up.  We all feel anxiety, it’s part of the human experience, it protects us. It’s important. 🌟However when you feel it all the time it’s become a pattern and a habit that you need to shift. ⁣
⁣
I suggest starting with setting an intention and allowing your mind to think about TRUST ❇️❇️ ⁣
⁣
When we completely TRUST there is no place to be anxious.  We come from a place of surrender, which will bring different perceptions and behaviours to a situation. 💟💟 ⁣
⁣
Next time you feel anxiety come up I urge you to allow your mind to think about trust, and ask YOURSELF.... ⁣
⁣
🤜How can I be more trusting in this situation? ⁣
🤜How can I surrender to the bigger plan for me? ⁣
🤜How could i bring more surrender to my body right now and release any tension I might be holding.⁣
⁣
This is a higher intention and vision I have for you right now.  Ultimately when we completely trust, anxiety has no place and does not take hold of us. ⁣
⁣

Wishing you a trusting day ✊✊💖💖
