8 Ways to Live With More Meaning

1. Ask yourself what do you want and then go about working to make that happen. Understand your 'here' before working to get to your 'there.' Make relevant changes along the way by frequently checking in with yourself.
2. Transform limiting beliefs that don't serve you and build more relevant ones aligned with where you want to go. Beliefs can be hard wired at a cellular level. 'Re-wiring' requires patience, persistent questioning, openness and honesty with self.
3. Ask yourself what underlying assumptions influence your behaviour. For example is your participation reluctant or wholehearted? Why?
4. Use a growth mindset instead of a fixed mindset. A growth mindset views failure as something to learn from. A fixed mindset sees failure as something that limits growth - it's the poor-me, self-obsessed complex.
5. Work with purpose. A purpose is something greater than oneself, whether it's the environment, a community or the economy. Find a purpose for greater meaning in your work. Abundance flows naturally from there.
6. Heal. We tend to carry a lot of stress with us in our daily lives often exacerbated by rising rates and the increasing cost of daily living. If your stress goes unchecked it can cause damage by way of illness (mental/physical). Learn to heal past and current stress for lightness of being.
7. Spend some time (however small) in silent contemplation, prayer or meditation. With the endless need to 'cope' we often end up trying to put out one fire after another which kills our creativity. Meditation, prayer or contemplation can be a useful tool to reconnect with your highest self.
8. Spend time mastering your craft. Instead of viewing your passion as something to find. View it as something to be created out of hours and hours of honing your skills. Develop a skill that is uniquely valuable, and mould your passion out of that.
