Life Design With Leah

Are you looking outside of yourself for answers?
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“OoOh I love that shirt!”
—> (Secret thought: ‘But will people think it’s attention seeking?’)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
-or-
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“I need to find a career that’s authentically aligned“
—> (Secret thought: ‘Somebody out there, please tell me my purpose, I don’t know what to do!’)
And it goes on and on… from what to eat to whom we marry and when to divorce.
You believe everyone else knows better. Everyone is the expert (except you of course).
This, my BEAUTIFUL FRIEND, comes from a deep distrust within yourself. This distrust is strengthened every time we “pool” others before truly sitting with ourselves first for the answers.
Your essential self requires self-trust to be able to express itself.
And without knowing who you TRULY are, loving the F**K out of yourself, and trusting your decisions = AKA being aligned with your essential self, you will then inherently not be aligned with your purpose.
No wonder why so few of us have found it!
You will bounce from career to career, constantly looking for others to guide you on what to do next.
This is a painful and confusing process.
One of the most powerful things you can do in the search for your purpose is to, therefore, start trusting yourself.
There are multiple layers to this, and it isn’t always easy, but start small:
—>Next time you’re at dinner, choose your own food (AND have your own back if turns out s**t).
—>Next time it’s your turn to pick a movie, DO SO (and actually listen to what you’re craving).
We can start with little decisions and work our way up to the big ones, but the key is just to START making decisions (and ALWAYS having your own back afterward). This is the breading ground for self-trust.
The more decisions you make, the more self-trust you’ll develop.
This is not a nice to have, this is a MUST have if you’re wanting to express the fullest version of yourself and finally find your purpose.

I wasted so much time spinning on what I wanted to do with my life.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I had a bunch of vague interests and big (yet vague) dreams.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
These vague dreams were big enough to cause this constant push/pulling within me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
First came the random bouts of inspiration, possibilities, and excitement toward this vague idea. I could dwell for hours here. Quite addicting actually, playing in this safe land of potential.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
But then the fears crept in right afterward. The fear of NOT meeting my potential. The fear of never going after my dreams. The thoughts that caused this fear came in many different forms;
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“That will take too much time”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“That’s too impractical”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“You’re not the type of person to pull that off”. You’re “too shy”, “not smart” or “knowledgeable enough”, etc…
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
“What will they think?”
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I wanted to spend my time going TOWARD something, but WHAT?! I didn’t want to ‘waste’ my time going down the wrong route after all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I believe there needs to be a balance in awareness of things you’d want to do and taking action toward that.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We feel like we are being smart by not taking action “before we know”, but this is one of those hidden thoughts that can keep us stuck for years! Imagine if you took a step in the *wrong* direction, all of the things you would learn and move forward with rather than still having that interest playing in your mind, stuck at square 0.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you aren’t failing, you aren’t growing. You aren’t etching away getting closer to your calling/purpose.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
So I invite you to take just a small action today toward one of your ‘inklings’. Start moving in ONE direction, and start learning. Just make sure to check back in to make sure you’re on the right path.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This process can be overwhelming and it’s SO easy to get stuck in confusion. Believe me. I was there for YEARS. If you’d like help exploring what your purpose is and navigating all of the limiting beliefs that are sure to come up, reach out and schedule a free discovery call with me. Don’t spend years in square 0 like I did!
