KNOW WHO YOU ARE AND WHAT YOU'RE ALL ABOUT

You all know how much I love little questions. I think that they are great prompts to help you (and me) on this little road to self-discovery that we have embarked upon. 

I hope you all are finding out fun things about yourself and embracing your purposes by now and as always, please SHARE! ;)


Without further ado...


To know and understand WHO we are is something that we should discover early on in our lives. 

You all have heard it, the saying about loving yourself before you can love anyone else?  

Do you think this is true?  

I do. 

But, in the same token, knowing yourself is the same.  Before you know anything, you have to KNOW YOURSELF. 




Unfortunately, it is not quite as easy and straightforward as you would have hoped. 

This is because the beauty of people is learning and change.  You will constantly learn new things about yourself throughout your lifetime.  This is a LIFE LONG PROCESS, and that is a good thing. 

The second reason knowing yourself isn't as easy as it might sound is because we are unsure of where to begin.  This is why these questions are so helpful. It will serve as a sort of starting point that you can take further. 



Think of getting to know yourself kind of like a research project. 




I know this might seem weird, but think of this like you were researching an object. You want to know everything you can about it.  Then, you know exactly how to develop it, care for it, grow it, and use it in the most effective and efficient way possible. 






So, I want to ask ya'll: 

HOW WOULD YOU ANSWER THESE QUESTIONS?

1. What does your ideal day look like? 
2. What did you want to be when you were younger?
3. Who are you most inspired by? Why?
4. Who would you love to meet? What would you ask?
5. What habit would you most like to break? What habit would you most like to start?
6. Think of a person you truly admire. What qualities do you like about that person?
7. How do you like to relax?
8. When was the last time you did something you were afraid of?
9. What are you most proud of?
10. What are you most afraid of?
11. If life stopped today, what would you regret not doing?
12. Who would you like to connect (or reconnect) with? Why?
13. What qualities do you admire in others?
14. What practical skills do you wish you had?
15. Imagine you're in your 90's.  What memories would you like to have? What stories do you want to tell?
16. What is your favorite book/movie/song? Why?
17. If you could make one change in the world, what would it be?
18. What do you love to do, or give to others? (don't think of an object- think of something from YOU personally)
19. What excites you?
20. What do you wish you did more of?
21. Pretend money is no object. What would you do? 
22. What area of your life, right now, makes you feel the best?  Which area makes you feel the worst?
23. Let's jump forward a year. What would you like to have achieved in the past year?
24. What piece of advice would you give to five year old you?  Sixteen year old you?  Twenty-one year old you? Right now?
25. How do you want to be remembered in life?

Connect with your Spirit Guides (Day 3)

HOW TO CONNECT WITH YOUR SPIRIT GUIDES

Learn how to connect with and assemble YOUR TEAM.

Think and Imagine having someone by your side, an eternal friend, someone who is always there for you, someone who is genuinely passionate about encouraging YOU to keep following your dreams, to find your calling, and to live your life with YOUR purpose.  Someone who has intuition, foresight, hindsight, and even a higher knowledge about YOU, about the world in which we live and everything that is present in it.  He/She can guide you, advise you, and even help you in any way that you want or might need. 

Awesome, right?

I don't think that you even realize it, but you have people who want to step into this role right now, with you.  Multiple beings who are ready to be that eternal friend for you just as soon as you reach out and invite them in.

They are ready for you when you are ready. 

So...Are you Ready?  

These steps below will help you finally welcome these eternal friends and help you connect with them to create your spiritual tribe. 

1. ASSEMBLE YOUR TEAM.

To begin, it is very important to establish the terms and beliefs that you feel comfortable using when describing this friend.  Whether you choose to see it as your higher self, your spirit, the Universe, God, energy, a guardian angel, or your intuition, take the time to fall upon a word that resonates with you. 

Who or What do you want to connect with the most? 

2. INVITE THEM IN.

Once you have determined who or what you want to communicate with, invite them in. Let them know that you want them around and you are listening to their messages, accepting of their guidance, respondent to their inspiration and keen on their intuition. 

Take a moment to do this when you are in a quiet environment and your mind is relaxed.  Close your eyes. Imagine this eternal friend you are speaking with and tell them that you are ready.  It doesn't matter if you say this aloud or just think it. Focus and it will get through. 

3. TAKE THE TIME TO COMMUNICATE WITH THEM.

You should feel free to call on your team whenever you need guidance.  There are many quiet points throughout your day that are great for this sort of connection, perhaps during meditation, while working out, or going through your nighttime routine.  There is honestly no right or wrong way to call on your guides.  You just need to take the steps to do what feels comfortable to you, and each of us might have a different approach and that is OK. 

You can talk directly to them by asking questions or presenting your problems. This will evoke their guidance.  Invite a dialogue. Listen. I want to remind you that these conversations can be aloud or in your mind. 

You can also use a journal and write down questions that you might have.  Use a different pen and allow answers to flow through you onto the paper- there is no questioning, no second-guessing or editing here. Just let your hand write. Let is write what it wants. 

HOW WILL YOU KNOW IF THEY ARE LISTENING?

I know that you are expecting some educated answer here and honestly, you aren't going to get it. The truth is you will just know.  When some times passes you will start to get signs or feelings that will be clear and you will notice.  Once you recognize the sign for the very first time, you will notice that it is easier to spot in the future.  Be open to what they say.  You might end up totally surprised by the message that you get, but this is a great discovery.  If not what you expected to hear, I bet it is something that you needed to hear. 

SOME SIGNS THAT YOU MIGHT RECEIVE:

• You might get a flash of inspiration or intuition or a sudden idea. 
• You might see an image or get a clear picture in your mind.
• You might feel emotionally lighter.
• You might get a physical reaction, like a gut feeling or prickling on the back of your neck. 
• You might just know. This is one that I get a lot, and it is very hard to explain to others. If you get it, too, you will know exactly what I mean here.
• You might see a sign or signs in real life, like synchronicities, symbols, or experience deja vu. 

Just remember to thank your guide and express your gratitude when you do get feelings that your guide has a hand in. 

Try to communicate with your guides for a solid month and keep notes on what happens.  You never know who will be on your team.
