I am so thrilled to be sharing this week’s focus with you all. I was in a deep prayer the other day and I got this insight that has been helping me and I can’t wait to share it with you all.

I was asking for guidance on how to dive deeper into my purpose work more, and the answer I received was to simply step into the feeling of what I want to experience when I’m giving and offering my best. Envision it, feel it and embody it daily. Simple enough right? So I now take a few minutes in the morning after my meditation and prayer to simply step into the feelings of serving and contributing at my best.

Before we go any further, I want to invite you to do this with me. Then we will further refine and hone this energy into this week’s poem.

Tuning In

The best method I’ve found is to focus your attention inward and close your eyes. You can do it with your eyes open, but make sure you are able to tune out the outside world and avoid distractions. The key here is to get into the energetic state of your Golden Ticket or your most loving and generous self. Envision and feel the experience of giving your best and living your best. If you don’t know exactly what that looks like, that’s okay! Focus on what you want to feel. Feel it and let it soak into your being.

My favourite way to get into this state is to move my body with some music. It’s hard to dance to your favourite tunes and not be feeling your best. So take 5 minutes and throw on your favourite track. You got to give it at least an 8/10 for your enthusiasm of dance moves! The more you get into it the more benefit you’ll get from this exercise. Here is a sample track that you may enjoy grooving to 👇🏼

If you’re unable to dance at the moment or prefer a more gentle approach, you can simply sit with your eyes closed and turn inward to feel those beautiful feelings. Find what works for you and honour your process of getting there. Ask yourself, “What does it feel like to give my best?” Explore where you feel it in your body and how this energy moves within you. This exploration and questioning will help you focus on the feelings and magnify them. As you focus on it, the feeling will automatically expand.
