New To Life Purpose Course, Saying Hello

[spinderella]

Hi everybody. I just signed up for the life purpose course, after having listened to Leo's videos for probably about a year. I have a very demanding job, and it's new. I recently relocated to Chicago, from Arizona, I'm originally from Toronto. So there has been a lot of moving around, and not a ton of stability.   Maybe needless to say, I'm not the best at getting things done that I start right now. 

 However there are many areas of my life that I'm not very satisfied with.  One of those things is related to the very persistent visceral reminders that I am not living in alignment with my life purpose. However, at this point I'm pretty certain I don't know what that is. So, I am here to try and figure that out. I'm here to try and focus on my personal development, and finish in that 5% that walks away with something really valuable. 

 I think what I'm looking for is just a group of like-minded people. I feel like I need some support, to remind me what is important, and remind me why I'm continually going to have to refocus on finding with my life purpose is. Reminded me why this has to be the MOST important thing in my life right now.  I've been going many many years in a circle, chasing I don't even know what, and I think if I don't nip this in the bud now, it might not ever get fixed. 

Nice to meet you all.

Hi 

The best way to change something on the outside is to work on the inside

Hello @spinderella, feel welcome!

These guys around here are very supportive, so feel free to share your experiences.
Let's just have a good time and grow  

I used to feel that way too, feeling like I'm chasing my own tail.
The advice that I can give is:

• Create good habits ( reading / healthy eating / exercises / take a walk by morning).
   
• Don't be afraid to take baby steps. Little changes everyday can make a HUGE difference in a long therm life change.
  You'll probably feel more comfortable making little changes and enjoying your growth as you pass by (and even see it, as long as you do it, it feels rewarding).
  It is all a process, so don't get upset if you don't see a drastic change for now...keep going and it will work out. Trust me :') .
   
• Don't try to do it all at once. Work in especific areas that you think you can handle but one by one, once a time. Do changes in the areas that you think are most important in the moment for you. If you think that align your top values is what you need than you can start by there!
  A tip that I can give you, is that your top values (the actions you truly believe that are right) will make you feel good and your inner-self will not judge you. That uncomfortable feeling comes from your inner-self saying: "hey, I don't wanna do it, I don't believe in it!". I hope I could be clear lol.
• Meditation can help you A LOT (20 min / day)
  Meditation brings you to your center point, and can help you to clarify things on your mind (your values, what you believe in). You just have to be honest with yourself and not be so judgmental about it. It will probably bring so much emotions, thoughts, but just let it all bubble out and come to you....feel it. You'll probably feel uncomfortable at the start but you'll start to take all the deep shit out of you. (Its pretty normal to cry while meditating, it happens to me a lot).
  Nobody can actually know you better than yourself, so who you are and your trully self gotta be playing the same game (or you'll feel like I did, playing against myself and sabottaging).
   
• Find a friend that you can share things to, it helps a looooooooot! (It can be one of us, if you feel to).
  I have a friend in here, he helps me too much when I'm feeling down or even when I'm upset about something...I think that being supportive and being supported are on the same boat, and that's what happen with me in the forum. I feel that I'm helping and being helped at the same time.
  If you need someone to talk to, just PM and we can help each other in a good way. No seconds intentions.
   

Well, I hope I could help you somehow!
And again, be welcome!
