Purpose doesn't have to be some "lofty," "amazing" feat. AND, purpose doesn't come down to changing the world. It may be as simple as being present for one person.

Hugging (consensual hugging) has a plethora of life benefits - from lengthening our lives, to helping us manage our fear, joy, grief, and happiness. There's no upper limit to the number of hugs we can doll out or receive each day, but one 5-10 second hug or a full 20-second hug is phenomenal.

Mediocrity has come to symbolize a state of dwelling below our human potential. Today I am sharing five ways that we can climb out of the valley of average, into purpose, presence, and ultimately, our best selves.

When we follow up high-intensity exercise with affirmations, we build common humanity and see the world with fresh eyes. We close the gap between ourselves and others. We see others with eyes of curiosity, hope, openness, and love.

In a world where you can be anything, be YOU. Be authentic. Let go of anything that keeps you from being your true self. We are emotionally and cognitively better off when we are true to ourselves. Authenticity is deeply spiritual. Live your truth.

Allow yourself to fully take in and experience all the powerful benefits of gratitude. The more we walk through life with a sense of gratitude, the: - better we sleep - healthier our heart - greater our self-esteem - greater our heart health and immunity And much more ...

How do you realize the things you want in life? Write it down (versus typing it in). Create and circulate greater abundance in your life. Think about the kind of success you deserve and you desire.

Work up a sweat. Think differently than everyone else. That is where extraordinary happens. Live your intention. We have an opportunity for divergent thinking.

Don't allow distraction and noise to distract you from the agreement you made well before you arrived on the planet. What does extraordinary look like to you? To me, it looks like being fully present in every moment - making the ordinary - extraordinary. Lean into the vibration of this moment.
