We all have, within our humanity, a light of divinity. As you move toward living in a greater alignment with that divinity, you find fulfillment, happiness and joy. I like to imagine living my own divinity on a cloud, with rainbows and beautiful sparkling white light surrounding me. Ok, so it doesn’t really show up like that, but this life is your experience, so I encourage you to create an oasis, every chance you get.
Even in difficult moments, using the following tips can help you to remember the truth of who you are – a Divinely gifted beautiful soul! I invite you to live your divinity and open your heart to receive the flow of sacred joy that is your birthright.
- Honor the truth of who you are. At soul level, your true voice speaks from the heart. As you move through life, you have been influenced and impacted by society, family, friends, and even foes. This is your opportunity to reignite who you are and stand in the power of your truth. Honor what feels right and aligned for you. The most important awareness that I have acquired, as I pursue my own divinity, is that this is my journey and only my experience really matters for me. All of the stories and expectations imposed on me by others, are coming from their insecurities and needs; which may be well intended. I am choosing to give voice to my pure truth.
- Put self-care before obligation. We all have responsibilities: jobs, kids, families and friends. But those that you love, do not have become an obligation that eclipses you. There is a tendency to play the role of martyr for those you love. Of course, your kids are immeasurably important, however, if you give without replenishing, depletion is inevitable. Self-care is essential to wellness and fulfillment. There is no prescription for one-size fits all self-care. One person may be completely recharged by taking an hour to sit in the sun and read a book, while another may love to take an Epsom salt bath. Indulgent self-care is great, but it can show up in small consistent ways. I encourage you to always take a few moments every day for yourself, without any hint of guilt!
- Listen to your inner voice to live your best life. Your heart and inner voice ALWAYS know what’s best for you; even when your brain wants to disagree. Your brain is run largely by your ego. Ego is super important. Its entire job revolves around keeping you safe and protecting you from things that could create discomfort. But let’s be clear… there is no MAGIC in your comfort zone! Living your most amazing life happens when you start to plug into and listen to your inner voice and guidance. You can start small here. You don’t need to go in an quit your job today because you have an inner marker that you are on the wrong path. Start taking measured steps toward listening to that voice. Enroll in a class that is sparking your interest. Be open to ideas that pop up within your awareness, even if they are a little scary. If these ideas and thoughts ignite a little fear and excitement, imagine the happiness and fulfillment that can flow from following the guidance to seek out the fear and excitement.
- Create and honor your sacred boundaries. Boundaries are the limits and rules you set for what you are willing to accept. Sometimes, easy to honor, boundaries often indicate the strength of your relationship with yourself. The more self-love you have, the more firmly you honor your boundaries. Other people may take your boundaries personally, but remember, boundaries are all about you… not them. Occasionally, situations will arise, when you choose to alter a boundary that you had previously held firm. This choice is not a sign of weakness. By allowing yourself to make the choice to honor or relax your boundary based on the needs of the situation, you are honoring yourself. There are no rules that apply to everything. The action of being aware of your own power, your inner voice and the best interest of those involved is exactly how you claim your divinity and step fully into your most divine self.
- Indulge in the desires of your heart. The desires of your heart are there for a reason. Emotional, physical, energetic and material desires are all exactly perfect, as long as they are, actually your desires. Search your heart and listen to the guidance you receive. Deep within, where your truth resides, that is where the desires that truly ignite your soul will show up. When you desire anything, it is so important not to pass judgment on yourself or whatever it is that you want. It is perfectly ok to want something just because it feels good or right. In the same theme, refrain from judging others based on their desires. They are just trying to live their best life. Creating a good experience or feeling is an essential part of living your divinity!
- Find your sacred sisterhood-in life and in business. Sisterhood is the most important element of living your divinity. Sisters see your blind spots and support you in your dark moments. Sacred sisterhood defies physical proximity and logical understanding. You did not come into this incarnation to do it alone. Community is a key to living your best life and finding your truest fulfillment and joy. These sisters show up in both life and business and help you to flourish in both. One of my favorite things to do with my sacred sisters is go on a retreat. Sometimes, I only have a little time, so we go and hike on my farm or have coffee in a neighboring town. Other times, I love to travel with my sacred sisters. It has been my experience when you are out of your normal environment, you have the greatest opportunity for growth and development with yourself and your sacred sisters.
The quest to live your divinity is not always smooth sailing. Living your divinity comes with ups and downs, struggles and challenges. But each of these detours is a critical component to creating the experience of your life. The beautiful learning moments are key to living your divinity. Enjoy every moment on your journey, the experience of humanity is, after all, the true experience of divinity. You have the tools to advance toward your true divinity every day! Hold them tight and take full advantage of the beauty of your awareness.
