Discover how to find your true purpose in life.

Word of the Week: Purpose

Find it. Know it. Love it. Grow it.

Can you confidently name your purpose in life? In yoga, we call purpose or life path dharma. What’s your dharma? Do you honor it and live it daily?

Here’s a practice to help you get closer to your purpose.

Get a notebook, piece of paper and pen. Find a quiet spot to write. You can even play calming music and adjust your lighting. Plan to sit for 10 or 15 minutes and free form write about your life’s purpose and what it means to live your life with purpose. Be honest here; fully express your thoughts and feelings. If you get stuck, use these writing prompts:

• What do I most value doing?

• In what ways do I feel like I contribute my gifts and talents?

• What work do I have to do to fulfill my purpose?

  
  

To more fully manifest and align with your purpose, create a vision board and display it in a spot you will see every day to remind you of your true purpose in life.
