Listening to your intuition to find your purpose. Easy to do or hard?

If you’ve been hanging around with me for a little while then you know my mission is  “empowering women to gain confidence in their worth, clarity in their purpose, and the courage to pursue their deepest desires.” That’s why I love to talk about intuition and finding your purpose. Both work so beautifully together to make that “deepest desires” part come true.

But as we know, our self doubt can kick in from time to time (or all the time) and we start to question ourselves, our talents, and our intuition. 

Maybe that’s a dumb idea? Maybe I’m not good enough? What if I can’t do it? What if I fail? And the list goes on.

So though it sounds relatively simple, the truth is most of us are going to need a little help learning to trust, to let go of the control, and to listen to our intuition when finding our purpose.

Luckily I have a process to help get you there!

What is your intuition trying to tell you?

It’s telling you more about you. 

Merriam Webster, our trusty dictionary tells us that intuition is:

“the power or faculty of attaining to direct knowledge or cognition without evident rational thought and inference.”

Simply put, intuition is usually that first thought that pops into your mind. Not necessarily from your “thinking” brain, but more from your heart. It’s what you feel or think before you even really mean to. It can tell you a lot about yourself, and therefore can help lead you to uncovering your deepest desires.

It’s your natural instincts and they are trying to keep you safe, help you make good decisions, and guide you in the right direction.

How do you trust your intuition?

Practice. Lots of practice.

And getting to know yourself a little more. When you spend time meditating, being mindful, or even journaling – you’ll find that you are more connected to your feelings, which in turn helps you understand them instead of being overwhelmed by them. 

How do you find and achieve your purpose in life?

Well unfortunately this is not a black and white answer, BUT there is a process I like to use to help my clients find their purpose in life. 

It’s called the 7- Step Model for Change.

In this process, we gather key information about you. It’s like putting together a puzzle. 

We gather the pieces of the puzzle – the things you love to do, what’s important to you, and what you want in your ideal life [or career]. I’ll ask you questions and provide worksheets that we’ll go over, until we’ve determined all the components of your ideal life [or career]. Then, we’ll be able to see the whole picture and design your ideal life [or career] or create an exciting new identity. 

Here are the seven parts to the process: 

1. SELF-EXPLORATION 

I will ask you a series of questions and give you worksheets to help you discover what brings you joy, what’s important to you, and we’ll gather all the components of your ideal life [or career] on a list. 

2. OVERCOMING BLOCKS AND OBSTACLES TO SUCCESS 

Often when people make changes, fears, insecurities, lack of confidence and other issues can surface. I have a variety of techniques and processes to help you overcome your blocks. 

3. OPTIONS AND CHOICES 

Once we’ve gathered all the components, we’ll explore new interests, new options and new directions you could take in your life [or career]. 

4. RESEARCH OR “TESTING OUT”

 Here, you test out your new choices to determine what works best and what is the best possible direction for you. 

5. STRATEGIC PLAN 

Next, we develop a plan of action for achieving your immediate, short-term and long-term goals. 

6. MANAGING AND SUSTAINING CHANGE 

Not only is it important to help you clarify your goals and take steps toward them, it is also important to make sure those goals all happen. If we continue coaching together, I will work with you until you have achieved your goals and brought your dreams into reality. 

7. MASTERING SKILLS

 Here, I support you in mastering the skills necessary to achieve your goals. There may be things you need to study, learn or practice to gain mastery in that area.

By going through these questions about listening to your intuition to find your purpose, you got super clear on your deepest desires, which allows you to show up in your day-to-day life in a way that gets you closer to your most ideal lifestyle.

This process is just a start. We both know that your journey will not end here. You have so much to offer the world!

If you are ready to get started with this 7 step process, then I’d be honored to take you on the journey. Your intuition and your purpose are both unique and I would love to watch you grow.
