I’m writing this to you while still high on the experience of facilitating my first workshop in two years—”Explore Your Purpose. Elevate Your Personal Brand: Your Purpose. Your Vision. Your Plan.”—where there was so much magic and transformation that unfolded for attendees and co-facilitator, Heather Briggs, and me, that I’m still integrating it. One thing has become clear: I still love facilitating! (Sending hugs and a personal thank you to those of you who came—and also to Heather, for her powerful light and spiritual business strategist awesomeness.)
If you want to be in our next 1-day workshop, it’s coming up in May in Toronto on a weekday (to be decided). We will likely only be accepting 6 people, because we are providing deep personal development work and it’s important to us that everyone receives the support they need and deserve. Shoot me an email to let me know if you want your email added to our list for Early Bird pricing etc. (We have quite a few people on our list already, so we may end up running a bunch of 1-day retreats over a period of weeks.)
Now, let’s get down to the main purpose of this post!
If you, like me, feel driven to embody your True Self and live your Life Purpose (yes, these are one and the same), and you would like some more support on this beautiful but frankly difficult path, I’m going to give you a simple, easy tool today that has been phenomenally powerful for me.
Every morning (and sometimes before bed as well), after I do my Emotional Awareness Meditation, I read this (fairly long) Sacred Daily Affirmation out loud with my hand over my heart. I can’t emphasize how empowering the results have been. Feel free to change the wording so that it feels right for you. You can just copy and paste this into a Word document, play with it and use it as you wish. These affirmations came from my Higher Self for the benefit of all.
Daily Affirmation for Living My Purpose
(To be read out loud once or twice per day with your hand on your heart.)
I choose to remember that I am Life incarnated—a spark of Life experiencing and expressing itself. I am a spiritual being having a human experience.
Therefore, it is okay for me to create a life of Joy and Abundance, and I hereby give myself permission to do so.
Because I am Life incarnated, I have absolute value; therefore, I recognize that it is both my right and my duty to fully love, accept and celebrate myself right now as I am, regardless of where I am on my path or how others choose to rate my value.
Regardless of how many mistakes I make or how many times I fall, I refuse to imagine that this could possibly affect my value or my current and future ability to create a life of Joy and Deep Fulfillment.
I choose to celebrate all mistakes as progress, and learn what I can from them with great excitement, knowing that mistakes are a path to mastery.
I choose to remember that I am co-creating my reality alongside others, and that my creations can and will affect others. Therefore, I strive to make choices that support the highest good of all beings.
I choose to see myself as an artist. Life is my canvas. What I create is driven purely by the strength of my Vision and Intentions. My paintbrushes are my Beliefs, Thoughts, Feelings and Actions.
The most powerful “colours” in my palette are Awareness, Gratitude, Joy, Compassion, Tolerance and Perseverance. And I choose to use these to create the signature look of all my creations.
My most powerful work of art is myself.
I choose to integrate and release every part of myself that gets in the way of my Joy, so that I can create with Joy.
This means I specifically choose to integrate and release: fear, doubt, judgment, shame, anger, guilt, blame, self-pity, apathy, envy, resentment and dissatisfaction.
I choose to treat myself, and all beings, as a sacred part of Life, because we are, and I AM.
I choose to deepen and strengthen my connection with Spirit and my Higher Self via my intuition by trusting my Self, even when it means doing something new and uncomfortable; because I know my greatness lies beyond my comfort zone.
Because I am part of Life, and because I understand that beliefs create my reality, I choose to trust that I am supported at all times.
Many times I have felt afraid, and yet everything worked out much better than I imagined possible. So I choose to use these experiences as evidence to cultivate a deep belief that my life always works out better than I imagined possible, so I can finally let go, relax and enjoy my time here on Earth.
I also choose to acknowledge that worrying, panicking and trying to control things are not efficient uses of my time and resources, nor is trying to fix or change people. Everyone is exactly where they need to be, learning whatever they need to learn, including me.
Rather, I choose to cultivate a belief that regardless of my opinions, all is well. And it is not my job to change people or the world.
My job is to awaken myself, to explore and express myself, and to reach my full potential in service to others—in a way that feels natural and joyous for me.
To help me do this I choose to remember that, as Life incarnated, my natural state is abundance, I AM everything I need, I can easily attract everything I need by believing it is so, therefore I choose to believe that the whole Universe collaborates to give me everything I need to do my highest work here on Earth with great joy and delight.
As part of this I choose to send myself a high level of financial stability, because that is what will allow me to pour all my energy into my work of sharing all I’ve learned with others. It’s okay for me to want a solid, dependable income because that is what will allow me to do my work at my highest potential. I choose to be kind to myself and allow myself to receive the waterfall of financial and career support that I know Life is already sending and is more than happy to give to me.
If I have not received what I need, it is not Life that has been denying me, but my own unkindness to myself in my thoughts and beliefs around money and self support. I now choose to be more kind to myself and let the gates of abundance open with great fanfare and delight. And I choose to enjoy every freaking minute of it.
As part of the human experience people will come in and out of my Life; and I can trust that the right people will always be there with me and I will always be fully loved and supported. There will be illness, loss, death and continuous change; this is just part of the deal and does not mean I am bad or that I have done something wrong, nor does it mean that anyone else is bad or has done something wrong.
That said, I also choose to remember that Life is a mirror, so the general state of my Life is a direct reflection of my intentions, beliefs, thoughts, feelings and actions.
Because I understand this, I choose to use my current experiences as useful information to more deeply understand myself and to guide my future choices in these areas. And never, ever to blame or hurt myself, because I understand that wherever I am on the path is perfect; that it is not a race, and that I can always create new and different experiences.
Finally, I choose to remember that there has never been a storm that did not end, nor a dark night that was not followed by a sunrise. And that, without the context of contrast I would not fully appreciate any of my experiences.
Knowing all this, I now choose to actively participate in creating a reality that supports my joy and my highest good, and supports the joy and highest good of others. And I choose to remember that I am celebrated and supported by the Entire Universe in my endeavors.
Thank you to all my ancestors, without whom I would not exist.
Thank you to all beings who have been part of all of my journeys. May you all be happy and free, and live with great joy.
Thank you to all beings who are supporting me on this journey now; I live every day with gratitude to you for your love, wisdom and guidance.
And thank you, Life, for sending me clear signs that everything is working out better than I imagined, and that I am fully supported by you each and every day.
So be it.
