Discovering Your Purpose: Clearing the Mental Clutter to Just "Be"

Do you ever find yourself lying awake at night, the mind racing with questions about your true purpose? The alarm clock announces a new dawn, but to you, it feels like another day navigating through fog without a clear direction. We've all been there at some point, caught in the whirlwind of daily routines, responsibilities, and societal expectations, feeling tired and stressed because we lack a sense of purpose. 

But what if the key to unlocking your purpose is simply learning to "be"? It might sound counterintuitive in our constantly moving world, but sometimes, to move forward, we need to pause and clear out all the mental clutter that's weighing us down.

The journey to discover your purpose is deeply personal and requires peeling back layers of stress, expectations, and self-doubt. Here are some methods to help you along this path:

Reiki, a Japanese energy healing technique, can help you achieve a state of relaxation and healing, facilitating the release of energy blockages. By balancing your chakras (energy centers), Reiki soothes your nervous system and fosters an environment within yourself to ponder upon and realize your true calling with clarity and peace.

Scent has a powerful connection to our memories, emotions, and sense of well-being. The Aroma Freedom Technique is a unique way of using essential oils to trigger a positive emotional response, helping to clear negative thoughts, feelings, and memories that might be hindering your ability to see your purpose. This practice encourages you to identify your dreams and supports you in moving towards them without the baggage of past emotional clutter.

Visualization is a potent tool. It involves picturing your ideal life in your mind’s eye, concentrating on the details, and holding onto that vision. Knowing where you want to be provides a compass for your actions and decisions, steering you closer to your purpose with every step taken in alignment with your vision.


Sometimes, the hardest thing to do is to just "be". In stillness, we find clarity. Allow yourself moments of quiet, away from the noise of the world, to connect with your inner self. This connection is where you'll find the seeds of your purpose waiting to sprout.

Ready to embark on a transformative journey to clarity and purpose? We invite you to join us at the **Live Differently Retreat** this May. Nestled in the serene Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania, this retreat is designed to provide you with the space, tools, and community to explore your inner world, clear the mental clutter, and embrace the art of just "being". Through workshops, Reiki meditations, Aroma Freedom Technique, and mindful practices, you'll embark on a journey to discover your purpose and how you can live differently to embrace it fully.

Your purpose is a journey, not a destination. It's about discovering who you are beyond the roles and expectations, and how you choose to make your mark on the world. So, if you're tired of feeling lost, come find yourself with us. Stamp your calendar, and let's embark on this beautiful journey together.

Let’s start clearing the path to your purpose, one breath, one drop, one moment of stillness at a time. See you at the retreat!

How I started to Live Differently

 
I was at a crossroad in my life when I learned to Live Differently.

It was several years ago that I was an investment advisor for a large regional bank.  I loved my position, my clients, the work. I was sure I was going to retire from this position.  Then one day the bank changed it's business model, didn't need as many investment advisors and my position was cut.  I was let go!

I did not have a plan B and felt like I was stuck in the muck.  What was I going to do now?  I knew that I didn't want to stay in the financial industry.  I didn't want to have my friends, income and career taken from me again.  I wanted to Live Differently.

For many years I was interested in natural products and how nature can help to support my bodily systems.  I completed a master herbalist certificate. I completed several master Reiki certificates and I knew that this was a direction I wanted to go in.

That's when I discover the essential oils of Young Living and their Seed to Seal promise.  Knowing about herbs and natural products I was thrilled to finally find a company that got it!  The products are only as good as the way the plants are grown, treated and processed to get the best results.  That is what Young Living does.  I also was very impressed with the way they combine essential oils into a wide variety of products for home, personal care, immune system, and event pets!  I had never discovered a company that does all of this and give you the opportunity to create an income simply by sharing the products.  I was hooked!

But that just started my journey to Live Differently.  I knew I wanted to get my Reiki practice started and there were so many internal stories I was telling myself about why this was not going to work!  I felt defeated until my good friend handed me the Aroma Freedom Technique book and asked me to join the certification class.  This technique blew me out of the water!  It helped me to turn around my internal narrative and self doubt I had to changing the way I saw myself and the world around me.  It showed me a way to use the essential oils I loved to improve my overall mental state.

So I was on my way.  Still I felt like I didn't have enough traction to really make a difference and that is when I found Oola.
Finding balance in an unbalanced world is exactly how I felt and that is what the Oola book talked about.  It showed me a simple framework to change the lifestyle I had to the life I really wanted to live.  It also is a whole community of like minded people that want to continually improve themselves and the world they live in. Now I had all the pieces that I needed to Live Differently.   

The best part is I get to share this with everyone who wants to Live Differently.
