Get into Alignment with Your Life's Purpose Statement

This week, I am challenging you to apply this same business technique in your own life and write your Life’s Purpose Statement. 

I remember eleven years ago when I applied this concept to my own life. This was a major transitional time for me and many of the tools I'll share with you as we move forward, were first learned during this pivotal time of my life. 

Before writing my personal mission statement, I took what life gave me and never really invested the time to determine what was important to me. 

I never identified my values or necessarily felt that it was important that the people I surrounded myself with shared in those values. 

Being an empath and highly sensitive person, I carried around a lot of energy and beliefs that really were not my own at all. I never identified exactly what was important to me and I also never ruled out the things that we’re absolutely not acceptable for me...and as an empath, you pick up all sorts of energies from others that can cloud your thinking. 

That’s why it’s so important to create this statement. It’s your most valuable assessment tool that will help you stay on your path and manifest your next level life.

A Life’s Purpose Statement helps you to create boundaries—and stick to them.

If you’re a healer and/or empath, then you 100% will benefit from this exercise as well as the lessons associated with honoring yourself first and sticking to it!

Imagine being able to quickly make a tough decision or indecisive choice by asking yourself, does this fit in with my Life’s Purpose Statement? Will this move me forward on my journey, delay me or hold me back? Is this in alignment with my purpose? 

Too many times we rely on others to help us make decisions on things that only we know the answers to. Having a Life’s Purpose Statement will empower you by establishing your values in advance and creating the boundaries necessary to stay on course.  

For this exercise you will need some paper and a pen/pencil. I encourage you to actually write this out on paper rather that typing so you can slow down and really connect to your ideas, thoughts, visions, etc. 

We will follow the same guidelines that business use when writing their Mission Statement:

1 What is my life's purpose? 

2 What do I want to be known for?

3 What kind of impact do I want to make? 

4 What do I believe in?

5 What things make me feel fulfilled?

6 What talents/gifts/passions do I have to share with the world? 

7 How do I want to behave in the world?

8 What am I passionate about? 

After journaling on these eight questions. Complete the following statement as a more concise version of everything you wrote:

My purpose in life is to (life purpose, known for) using my (talents/gifts/passions) so that (your impact). 

Visit these questions often as you continue to refine your statement. Keep it short and concise. 

The key is to have it handy--I like to write things out on notecards and stick them to my bathroom mirror so they’re in my face, inspiring me to consistently assess things in my life. Bonus points if you memorize it ;) 

Remember, your Life’s Purpose Statement will continue to evolve as you do!

Looking forward to diving into this deeper on tomorrow's podcast!

Sending you so much love from NYC!
