The 7 Pillars of Your Life Purpose Foundation – Part 2

Once you have figured out how to eat, drink and supplement (in part I of this article) to make sure your body has the fuel and building materials it needs to maintain and repair your physical body and it’s functions, you can go deeper into creating a solid foundation on which to build your Life Purpose.

Now let’s look at 4 more pillars that are essential to give you a solid support as you embark on the journey of your life!

4. Sleeping

If you are short changing yourself on sleep to get more work done you are literally shooting yourself in the foot! Sleep deprivation accumulates and it is very hard, if not impossible, to make it up.

When we sleep we get so much more than rest. During sleep you slip out of waking consciousness and go back to Source to drink from its dynamic well and come back refreshed and renewed. While you “are gone” and still, your body’s repair crew is given the opportunity to repair and maintain your physical vehicle.

The hours of shuteye you get before midnight are extra valuable, so be sure to have a routine where you step away from bright lights, screens and stimulating activities 1-2 hours before bed time. This will release sleep hormones that will make your eyelids heavy around 10 pm.

5. Moving & Playing

Lots of activity is happening between our ears all day long these days, as we engage with your friends and do our work on computers. It is easy to feel like we’ve had a busy day but have hardly moved our bodies!

For some of us “exercise” is a heavy word, so I prefer to use “moving and playing” instead. Make sure you do things you enjoy that involve using your body. For some it may mean doing sports, for others it can be dance, gardening, hiking and so on.

Doing some of this movement and play outdoors will bring you two more essential component of a strong platform, sunshine and fresh air.

6. Environment

Being in a place of order and beauty is like rocket fuel for your life purpose. The environment you spend your days in may not seem like very important but it sends a subtle message all day long about how you value and treat yourself.

Surround yourself with photos and mementos that inspire you to be all that you can and gives you space to grow.

7. Relationships

We can’t choose the families we are born into, but we can choose to on a regular basis surround ourselves with positive individuals who are also going for it in life and want to be all that they can and be of their highest service!

Bring awareness and intense presence to relationships in your life that are challenging and hold the intention to raise the frequency of those you share your days with (instead of being pulled down).

Parkinomics: Thrive In The New Economy by Alexia Parks

As the world grows “flat,” as people in developing countries become better educated, as jobs become more competitive, as China becomes the largest English speaking country in the world, you begin to know deep down, that it is time to let go and change.

Right now is a good time to change your life, your mind, and even your diet. In short, it is time to change everything that keeps you stuck in uncertainty. Why?

Uncertainty about the future causes stress. You can learn to live stress free and fearless. You can act as if you were a rock-climber who never knew whether you would make it safely up or down. I’m here to tell you that the process of change will make you stronger. Just focus on the positive, what is working in your life. Each positive thought or point of focus is like a handhold or a toehold to lift you higher, or bring you safely down to solid ground.

Facing risk with courage is an intensely powerful experience. Many good things emerge from putting yourself in seemingly impossible situations then finding that single handhold or a new route that moves you forward.

A Rite of Passage

You can change your relationship to money, reinvent yourself, and if you like, choose a different future.

Why change? Right now, the Global Economy is disconnecting from the old economic model of civilization, where profits, not people, come first. Aided by global warming and climate change, economic change is accelerating. It is moving in the direction of the New Economy with a foundation based on sustainability and a respect for all Life. Call it a Global Warming of the Heart.

In this transition, you have a role to play as a change agent. As you find solid ground, you are a step ahead of the rest of society. You are letting go of what doesn’t work, and pioneering new pathways into a future based on self-reliance and self-responsibility.

In Megatrends 2010, the Rise of Conscious Capitalism, author Patricia Aburdene agrees: “Mainstream business is under siege, from activists and regulators as expected, but even from investors.” And all the barricades in the world cannot defend it. Because the most dangerous adversary of all – a transformed individual – lies within…. Does this idea speak to you?

A Higher Good

As the economy shifts away from funding fear-based consumerism, the industry of endless war, it will move toward “purposeful” money, conscious capitalism that that wants to do good in the world, that seeks to fund a higher good.

So, what is this higher good? Is it free education for all? Universal healthcare? Housing for the homeless? Sustainability? Stewardship of Nature? Democracy that truly represents all people? Is it a higher good in support of what works and what’s possible, the arts, and the micro-entrepreneur? It is all of the above.

Right now, as the world economy changes at lightening speed, new opportunities are opening up. You are in the right place at the right time.

Why Parkinomics? Statistics show that 61% of all Americans want to start their own business. The book describes an emerging economic trend where with the right attitude, and free of fear, people can expand in the direction of their own skills, talents, and passions. Call it “living your Life Purpose,” or Conscious Capitalism.

A transformed individual? Yes! A dropout? Not necessarily. If one of the 8 PROFILES in the book fits you, stop looking for a job, and start creating your dream job. Click here for more about the book.
