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).

What Is Your Life Lesson? – Getting To Know Your Personal “Banana Peel”

by Annika Ek – Purpose2Business Mentor & Hand Analyst

Do you keep "slipping" on your Life Lesson?

What is standing in your way for you to live life with greater meaning and purpose? Well there could be more than one issue; possible causes are painful events from your past, poor nutrition, bad habits and your Life Lesson. In this article I will expand on how your Life Lesson may be what is standing between you and a life with a lot more purpose and meaning.

Where to Find Your Life Lesson. Life Lesson is a term used in Hand Analysis and it refers to a certain issue or issues that come up in your life repeatedly. The scenario is always different, but the underlying theme is the same. The fingerprints are ranked according to their complexity, and the fingers on which you have your lowest ranking prints hold your Life Lesson.

Have you ever seen a “Where is Waldo” picture? Waldo is hidden in a very busy drawing and it will take you a while to spot him, but once you know where he is, it is hard NOT to see him. It works the same way with your Life Lesson, once you know what to look for you will see when it is playing out in your life. This is huge since it means that you have raised your consciousness and awareness to what is going on in your life, and the best thing is that you are now able to exercise your free will and decide to not let your lesson “get you”.

Your Life Lesson is like a banana peel you need to be aware of so you don’t keep slipping on it and not make progress on your Life Purpose (also found in your fingerprints). Once you can “see” you Life Lesson consistently and quickly you will turn this challenge into your greatest asset!

To further help you understand what a Life Lesson is, here are a few examples of common Life Lessons.

Life Lesson Example 1: Being Powerless, the Victim

This lesson is about a constant theme of personal disempowerment, and giving away your power. If this is your lesson you likely feel like a victim of your circumstances and have a hard time maintaining your personal boundaries. Emotionally, you may feel shame or even numb out with regards to your feelings because it is too painful to go there. Not knowing what you want in life is also about powerlessness, because when you know and live your passions you become powerful. This lesson is found on your left index finger.

Life Lesson Example 2: Guilt and Low Self Worth

If this is your lesson you will constantly be plagued by a feeling of not being worthy and feeling guilty for what you want and what you have. A challenge for those with this lesson is to rely on yourself and to commit to having the discipline to look after yourself, both your physical body and your worldly affairs, because you’re worth it, even though you don’t think so. This life lesson resides on the left middle finger.

Life Lesson Example 3: Blocked Creativity and Feelings of Not Belonging

The lesson that lives on the right ring finger is about feelings of not belonging and/or not being able to creatively express to the world who you truly are. You may feel trapped into conforming to other peoples wants or to get their approval and be included. Apathy, fatigue and feeling really low are also indications that you have a right ring finger lesson.

Learn Your Lesson and Thrive

The word lesson may have a negative connotation for some, as in “I’ll teach you a lesson!” But a lesson without those negative associations is just something that must be learned and mastered for progress to happen. Think of children who take swim lessons to learn how to swim. Just like swimming can’t be taught from a book, nor can you learn your Life Lesson without getting in to the water and having the experience. By overcoming your Life Lesson you are on the path to living your Life Purpose, it’s as simple as that.
