Alive With Purpose

Our past few episodes have focused on important tools to keep you focused and on track towards your goals and your big purpose in life.  But are you even clear on what that is exactly? Today I want to help you think practically about the answer to the age old question "What is my purpose in life?" You might have an answer already, you might not, but this perspective will help you get very clear about how you are using your time and energy. I would love to hear your ideas on the topic.   Headover to: https://www.revitalizeyourrelationship.com/podcast

In last week's episode I shared with you how I can be productive even when I don't have a lot of extra time.  Would it surprise you to hear that often I look at my beautifully organized schedule and don't feel the least bit motivated to actually follow through? This episode is all about how I get things done even when I don't feel like doing anything. I hope it inspires you to adopt a motivational routine or ritual to keep you accountable to all the little steps that go into your big goals and deeper purpose.

You have a lot going on. Here you are trying to live a life of purpose and acheive big dreams. Meanwhile you also have bills to pay, children or family members to care for, friendships to cultivate and creative pursuits you wish you could spend more time on. Chances are you need some refreshing ideas to help you become more productive so you can get more done. In this episode I share my personal secrets to getting an enormous amount of work done in far less time than I had when I worked a traditional 8 hour day.  As a bonus, I am also sharing my simple organizational tool with you (for free) in the show notes along with some other great resources.

Fear and anxiety are part of the human experience. But our reaction to these "states of being" is often trying to resist or deny these emotions OR reacting to them in ways that are not helpful in fulfilling our life's purpose. In part two of my conversation with spiritual teacher Jeff Carreira, we discuss how to be free within our experiences of fear and anxiety. He offers you some very practical ideas for what to do during times when we feel contracted and we talk about how you can shift from fear and anxiety to a new perspective using my story of going through a personal health crisis.

In this episode I am joined by my favourite meditation teacher Jeff Carreira. His teachings and his friendship have made a positive impact on my life and inspired me to think about my own life's purpose more deeply. In this first part of our conversation, Jeff talks about his unique approach to meditation that makes it powerful for beginners and seasoned practitioners alike. We also discuss how practicing "no problem" can create a huge shift off the meditation cushion during the ups and downs of life (even when your toddler is having a tantrum at the store).

I wasn't planning to record this podcast, but I unrolled my yoga mat this morning and was hit with a long list of things I "should" being doing instead of self-care. I know you already know self-care is good for you but if you find it hard to follow through on things that enhance your health and well-being, this episode is for you.   Get in touch with me at: https://www.revitalizeyourrelationship.com/podcast

What is it like to spend 8 hours a day with two children? Today I talk with my husband Steve. He is an amazing partner and father to our two kids and has spent the last few months on parental leave.

If you are a new parent or thinking of becoming a parent you don't want to miss this episode full of our raw observations of the challenges and the beauty of this experience.
