UNLOCK THE DOOR TO YOUR MIND & START SHOWING UP AS YOUR TRUE AUTHENTIC SELF WITH THESE THREE STEPS
Step 1
Make the decision to
stay still
The thrill of new experiences, adventures, and knowledge is intoxicating, addictive even. And it’s almost like a drug to you. It's a core part of your Explorer Archetype BUT it's also holding you back from living the authentic life you're yearning for and enjoying that feeling of complete and utter fulfillment.
Your never-ending search for something new means you're always on the move, never allowing yourself time to stand still and just be in the moment, appreciate it, or explore it to the full. Moving as you do, from one journey to the next can be physically, emotionally, and mentally exhausting, stopping you from fully engaging with what you already have.
To leave a lasting legacy and accomplish great things it's important to learn the value of standing still, not needing to consistently embark on new journeys, but instead cultivating the ability to be present in the current moment.
Use your senses to ground you and connect you. Stand still and feel the weight of your body on the ground, the texture of the floor, and the pressure of your shoes against your feet. Focus on your breath and notice the sensation of the air moving in and out of your body.
Then try walking slowly and intentionally, paying attention to each step you take. Focus on the sensation of your feet touching the ground, the movement of your legs, and the rhythm of your breath. It's a great way to practice standing still while still moving.
The Explorer Archetype is characterized by a desire for adventure, new challenges, and a thirst for knowledge. So I'm throwing out a different type of challenge. One that involves you breaking the constant cycle of seeking new horizons, and instead sees you taking time out to go beyond the surface and dig a bit deeper.
Ask yourself, what is it you're truly seeking? Is it adventure, knowledge, or something else entirely? Take some time to reflect on your motivations and goals. What drives you to seek out new experiences, and are those experiences truly fulfilling? It can be easy to get caught up in the excitement of exploration and forget about the deeper reasons behind your actions.
"The ability to ask questions is the greatest resource in learning the truth." - Carl Jung
Once you've developed a better understanding of your motivations, it's time to start asking the harder questions. What is it you’re truly seeking, and why? What are your biggest fears and obstacles to achieving your goals? What are the patterns in your life holding you back, and how can you break free from them?
These questions may be uncomfortable to confront, but they're necessary if you want to make change in your life and leave a legacy with meaning.
Step 2
Ask the hard questions
Step 3
Follow your heart
Making big changes to your life and the way you live it can leave you feeling off balance and out of alignment. It's important to remember to follow your heart so the changes you make feel authentic and aligned with who you are, and what you're hoping to achieve.
And not every change you make needs to be a big grand gesture. Sometimes, the most meaningful experiences are the small moments of connection and joy that we experience in our daily lives. Whether it's spending time with loved ones, pursuing a creative hobby, or simply taking time for self-care, these moments can be just as fulfilling as any big adventure.
Self-reflection and self-discovery are powerful in helping you stay true to yourself, and two ways to do this are by using the art of journaling and meditation.
Journaling allows you to express your thoughts and emotions, explore your values and beliefs, and gain insight into your inner self. By writing them down you’ll gain clarity and stay aligned with who you are.
Meditation promotes relaxation, reduces stress, and increases self-awareness, helping you tune into your inner self and stay centered and aligned with your values and beliefs.
Incorporating these into your daily routine helps you stay connected and true to your heart.
Affirmation
"I allow myself to stand in the moment without the constant need to seek new and exciting things, understanding it will help me reach a feeling of fulfillment as I work towards leaving a lasting legacy that will make a difference in the world."
Some Inner Monologues which might sound familiar….
"If I settle down and stop looking for the next big adventure, what happens if I get bored, if there isn't enough of a challenge for me? Won't life become a little too predictable and mundane?"
"I love living life on my own terms. If I'm not out there exploring and really experiencing the world aren't I then just following someone else's path?"
"I thrive on the excitement of discovering new things, the adrenaline rush of adventure. What if by seeking change I lose my zest for life?"
"I want to make a difference in the world and leave a legacy that actually means something. How do I do this if I'm standing still?"
"What if I don't get to see everything I want to see and miss out on the adventure of a lifetime?”
IT'S TIME TO RELEASE THE BAGGAGE WEIGHING ON YOUR PHYSICAL, SPIRITUAL AND EMOTIONAL HEALTH AND UNLOCK THE IMPACT YOU ARE MEANT TO HAVE ON THE WORLD.
Begin your journey of leading whole
It's a journey back to your authentic self...
It's the integration of body, mind, and soul...
It's refusing to hide parts of yourself or allow the past to dim your light...
It's a commitment to leading your life from a deep place of awareness, connection, and truth...
Because who you are - just as you are - is complete, whole, and lacking nothing.
“I’m a wanderer. But I don’t wander to explore the outer physical world, I do it to explore the universe inside me.”
- Appu Nirmal
Are you ready?
Are you READY to awaken a deeper sense of spiritual connection and focus on becoming the truest version of yourself?
I invite you to walk with me on this journey of Leading Whole by stepping into your Purpose & Power.
Patience
Patience - a true transformation takes time. Patience allows us to analyze things beyond their face value, helping us stay calm in a storm and focused on our goals.
Understanding
Understanding - all transformation begins within. Everything we see, have, and experience in this world begins from within, and cultivating a deeper sense of understanding in the world is what will help move you forward in this journey.
Recommitment
Recommitment - every journey of self-discovery and growth requires not only an initial commitment but a regular practice of recommitment. By recommitting to yourself, you're reminding yourself of the deeper why behind what you do and holding yourself accountable as you make your way along the path.
Perseverance
Perseverance - the pathway to personal change is tough and you'll be challenged along the way. Developing perseverance despite the storms of life that may come your way, rather than throwing in the towel when things feel uncertain, unclear or downright miserable, is what will keep you moving further on your pathway to transformation. Trust that there is joy in sorrow, light in even the darkest of moments.
Observation
Observation - in life, everything is about perspective. Your perspective is your reality. But we all know our individual perspectives are limited, which is why observation is so key. Those who are observant not only of their outer surroundings and experiences, but also of everything happening internally, are able to tap into a deeper wisdom.
Surrender
Surrender - give yourself permission to fall apart, put yourself back together, and fall apart again. Developing a willingness to surrender to something greater than yourself and letting God take the lead allows you to fully experience the transformational journey you're on.
Expectation
Expectation - managing your expectations around how this journey "should" look and feel is an integral part of your journey. There is no right or wrong way as this journey is yours and yours alone. Letting yourself lean into that feeling of abundance instead of allowing yourself to follow in the footsteps of fear will show you the possibilities that lie ahead.
&
Perspective
Perspective - society has conditioned us to believe our life should look a certain way. Live your life the way you decide is right for you, with the aim of becoming your truest and highest version of self. We're all seeing life through varying lenses (shaped by society, culture, our upbringing, etc.). By clearing the crud from your glasses you'll increase your quality of light, which allows you to see things through multiple perspectives and respond creatively rather than as a reaction to how you've been conditioned. Explore the parts of your life you're currently only viewing with a singular perspective.
Openness
Openness - being open is key to discovering the truth of who you are, and what you have the power to do, because it’s what helps you show up authentically in every aspect of life. Reflect on the ways in which being more open could help you foster a deeper spiritual connection to God, yourself, others, and the world.
Willingness
Willingness - leaning outside your comfort zone can feel challenging at times but don't shy away from the depth. By being willing to take that first step into something new, we unlock a whole other world of possibilities we didn't know existed. Ask yourself "how willing am I to let go and dive head first into wherever this journey may lead?"
Embodiment
Embodiment - are you ready to create the vision of the future you desire, the one you're working towards? Embody that energy and the reality will eventually follow. Everything starts with solidifying an identity that feels right and perfectly fits with the person you're striving to become.
Responsibility
Responsibility - you have complete authority over the life you want to live and while you're not in control of what life might throw at you, you are in control of how you respond. I invite you to take responsibility BY walking with me on this journey of Leading Whole and stepping into your Purpose & Power.
