Discovering Your Purpose

Feeling lost and lacking direction in life is a common experience for many. We often find ourselves consumed by the demands of our daily lives and short-term goals, leaving us without a clear plan or sense of purpose. However, envisioning a long-term goal and reflecting on how we want to be remembered can be transformative. In this blog post, we will explore the power of discovering your purpose and the role journaling plays in this journey of self-discovery. By connecting with your deepest desires and creating a roadmap for a purpose-driven life, you can break free from overwhelm and burnout. Let's dive in!

The Importance of Long-Term Goals 

Have you ever stopped to think about what you want to be remembered for? As children, we were often asked what we wanted to be when we grew up, and those aspirations shaped our choices and actions. Similarly, thinking about how you want to be remembered can guide your decisions and help you live a more meaningful life. Take a moment to mentally transport yourself to a time of fulfilment, whether it's retirement or old age. What do you want those around you to remember most about you? Is it your successful career, your loving family, or your acts of kindness and compassion? Connect with the feelings that arise as you envision these scenarios. The emotions you experience serve as powerful motivators and provide clarity on the path you need to take.

Using Journaling as a Tool for Self-Discovery 

Journaling is a powerful tool for self-discovery and personal growth. By putting pen to paper, you create a space to explore your thoughts, emotions, and aspirations. Using prompts can help guide your journaling practice and delve deeper into your desires and purpose.

Consider using the following prompts to kickstart your self-reflection:

1. "Mentally, go forward to a time when you feel fulfilment in life. What would I like to be remembered for the most?"

2. "How does this vision make me feel? What emotions arise?"

3. "What actions or qualities would I need to embody to align with this vision?"

4. "How can I incorporate these actions or qualities into my life today?"

5. "What steps can I take to move closer to living a purpose-driven life?"

Take your time with each prompt, allowing your thoughts and feelings to flow freely. Remember, there are no right or wrong answers. Journaling provides a safe and judgment-free space for exploration.

Creating Your Roadmap to a Purpose-Driven Life 

Once you have reflected on your desires and aspirations, it's time to create a roadmap that will guide you towards a purpose-driven life. Start by distilling your insights from journaling into actionable steps. For example, if you want to be remembered for your acts of kindness and compassion, consider how you can incorporate more empathy and understanding into your daily interactions. It could involve actively listening, volunteering, or practising random acts of kindness.

Next, break down your long-term goals into smaller, manageable milestones. These milestones serve as checkpoints along your journey, allowing you to track your progress and make adjustments as needed. Remember that the path to purpose is not linear, and it's okay to reassess and adapt your goals along the way.

To stay motivated and connected to your purpose, revisit your journal entries regularly. Use them as reminders of your "why" and the emotions you experienced when envisioning your purpose. Allow these memories to fuel your determination and reignite your passion.

Discovering your purpose and creating a meaningful life is a transformative journey. By envisioning your long-term goals and reflecting on how you want to be remembered, you can gain clarity and direction. Journaling serves as a powerful tool for self-discovery, providing a safe space to explore your desires, emotions, and aspirations. Take the time to connect with your feelings, create actionable steps, and build a roadmap to a purpose-driven life. Embrace the messiness and the growth that comes with aligning your actions with your purpose. Remember, it's never too late to embark on this journey of self-discovery and create a life that truly matters.

Olá! I’m a Ligia, a Trauma Informed Self-Healing Teacher, Journaling Therapist and Soul Calling Reader.

As a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP) myself, I understand the profound depth at which you experience life. My sensitivity has been both a gift and a challenge, intensifying the impact of childhood trauma and shaping my journey of self-discovery and healing.

I work with Highly Sensitive Souls who desire to heal past wounds and embark on their own self-healing journey. Together, we will rediscover who you are at a soul level, remember your truth, and reconnect with your sensitivity and soul’s calling.

I am the Founder and creator of the T.R.U.S.T™ Pathway, a transformative methodology designed to help you move from being wounded to becoming a cycle breaker. Through this pathway, you will heal imprinted ancestral, societal, and childhood conditioning, live an abundantly aligned life, and break the lineage cycle of pain, trauma, and abuse for future generations.

My unique approach combines my life experience, clairvoyance ability, inherent sensitivity and trauma-informed healing. I believe that true healing happens by befriending your shadows, not disowning them. This trauma-informed perspective ensures that we address the root causes of your pain with compassion and understanding, creating a safe space for your healing journey.

As a survivor of childhood abuse, bullying, depression, and anxiety, I know firsthand the struggles of feeling lost, lonely, and disconnected from life. My sensitivity made these experiences even more intense, but it also equipped me with a deep understanding of the healing process. I also understand the fear of the unhealthy footprints that our experiences can leave on our children.

It is my life's mission to heal myself and to help inspire others to end the cycle of trauma and pain with them. By sharing my journey and guiding you through yours, I hope to create a ripple effect of healing and transformation.

Know that I believe you. I hear you. I see you. And I'm here to help you find your own power to self-heal and embrace your sensitivity.
