Purpose Alignment
Purpose Alignment: Rediscover Your Life's Mission
Have you ever felt like you’re just drifting through life, stuck in a cycle of routine, wondering if there’s something more? That feeling of being lost, unmotivated, or uninspired isn’t a flaw—it’s a signal. It’s your soul calling out for alignment with your true purpose.
At Happy Soul on Board, we believe your life’s mission and passions are already within you, waiting to be uncovered. Purpose alignment is about reconnecting with your inner compass, reigniting your passion, and creating a life that feels deeply meaningful.
Indicators of Purpose Misalignment
Feeling Lost: You feel disconnected from direction, unsure of where life is taking you.
Lack of Motivation: Tasks and responsibilities feel like a chore rather than a choice.
Inspiration Void: You can’t remember the last time you felt excited about something.
These indicators aren’t signs of failure; they’re invitations to pause, reflect, and realign with what truly matters.
Tune-Up: Reflecting on Your Values
Your values are the foundation of your purpose. Reconnecting with them can help clarify what truly matters to you. Here’s how:
The "Non-Negotiables" Exercise:
Take a moment to list the top five things that matter most to you in life. These could be relationships, freedom, creativity, service, health, or anything that resonates.
Reflect on whether your current life aligns with these values. Are you prioritizing what matters, or have distractions taken over?
Example: If creativity is a core value, ask yourself how often you’re making time to create, whether through art, writing, or problem-solving.
The "Why" Test:
For each major decision or goal in your life, ask yourself, "Why am I doing this?"
Dig deep and get honest. If the answer doesn’t align with your values or brings joy, it may be time to rethink it.
Example: If you’re pursuing a career path because it’s what’s expected of you but it doesn’t spark passion, consider exploring alternatives that align with your authentic self.
Tune-Up: Revisit Your Goals
Sometimes we outgrow the goals we set for ourselves. Revisiting and reshaping them can help reignite your drive. Here’s how:
Goal Inventory:
Write down your current goals, big and small. For each goal, ask:
Does this still excite me?
Does it align with the person I am today?
Keep the ones that inspire you and let go of those that feel outdated or forced. This process clears space for new dreams.
Example: Maybe your old goal was to climb the corporate ladder, but now you value flexibility and creativity. Shift your focus to building a passion-based business or freelancing career.
Vision Mapping:
Create a vision board or write a detailed description of what your ideal life looks like. Include the emotions, experiences, and achievements you want to manifest.
Use this as a roadmap to guide your decisions and keep your purpose front and center.
Tune-Up: Pursuing Fulfilling Activities
Your purpose often reveals itself through the things that make you feel alive. Here’s how to pursue activities that nourish your soul:
The "Joy List":
Write a list of activities that genuinely bring you joy, no matter how simple or unconventional they may seem. It could be gardening, dancing, mentoring others, or exploring new places.
Make it a priority to integrate at least one of these activities into your week. Over time, you’ll notice how these small joys reconnect you with your passion.
Try Something New:
If you’re feeling uninspired, step out of your comfort zone and try something entirely new. Sign up for a class, volunteer, or explore a hobby you’ve always been curious about.
Example: Take a pottery class if you’ve always loved working with your hands, or volunteer at a local organization that aligns with your values.
