Join life coach, Shanna Kay Covey, and Eating Psychology Coach and Personal Trainer, Tracey Keller as they dive into the power of knowing your purpose and the respective journey that led them to knowing theirs. Shanna shares how she went from working at a Top 5 accounting firm to volunteering in Guatemala for nearly one year to (finally) aligning with her purpose and the major lessons that occurred along the way. Tracey shares how an in depth course on eating psychology completely changed her perspective on health and fitness and how this led to her purpose. This episode encourages you to begin understanding (and questioning) where you’re coming from in your desire to feel better, safe, worthy, deserving, whole and loved because, as Shanna and Tracey discuss, we often go about trying to know these things in ways that never lead to the peaceful state we ultimately crave. This episode is chock full of wisdom and insights that can help you feel more purposeful and peaceful today, not someday when x…y…or z is in place.
Suggested Exercises Mentioned In This Episode:
At the end of the episode Shanna suggested two different meditations to begin tapping into your deeper nature. In the first meditation, she suggested sitting in a quiet space free of distractions for a few minutes and going over the following affirmations (feel free to add additional affirmations that feel good to you) while taking slow, deep breaths…
I am whole and complete.
I am fully worthy and deserving because I am.
I am loving.
I am Love itself.
I am safe.
I am completely perfect as I am.
An alternative meditation (especially once you’re able to feel the inner state these affirmations are pointing to) is to drop into that space of knowing while taking deep, slow breaths for 10 minutes.
From this space of feeling whole and complete and at peace, it’s best to begin asking: What is my purpose? Before you’re in this space, you risk asking what your purpose is from the idea that you are lacking something and that your purpose is an answer to the lack you feel. Your purpose, in its most pure from, is an extension of already being filled up. So do your best to heal the idea that something is missing. Think of purpose as an energy you want to express in the world by simply being it. When you do this you’re being in service to the collective, whether you see a tangible result or not.
