Juicy Tips on Living On Purpose

January 4, 2015 by Priyanka 6 Comments

In my journey of living a more heart-driven life, I have started to live on purpose. Living a life on purpose means that moment by moment I dive deep into my heart for inspiration and guidance. I’m not saying I succeed always, but I have learned some simple ways to get me back to my center.

Live Your Life On Purpose

I Listen to Soothing and Romantic Music

I recently purchased some divine, gentle music on Amazon. There are tracks of water flowing and overall peaceful, calming music. I wanted something that could play to my senses and soul while I worked, but not overwhelm or disturb me that I couldn’t work. These tracks are perfect!

I also listen to a lot of slow, romantic songs. Sometimes, the songs are deeply emotional. Other times, there is a strong element of sensuality. It all just depends on my mood. I find it allows me to connect to my own femininity, sensuality, and heart.

I Write in My Gratitude Journal

I have a journal where I jot down things I’m thankful for. I try to write in it daily, but truthfully, it doesn’t always happen. Sometimes, I write every other day or a week later. I don’t push myself, whenever I have the time.

Set Aside Time for Me to Relax

This one is important. I don’t fill all my time up now with activity or action. I set aside time for me to listen to music, read, watch an episode of The Modern Family, or just nap. Or make a delicious smoothie!

Get off the Computer and Just Be

I limit my time on my computer and especially social media. Being online and checking my Facebook does not mean I’m always using my time efficiently. I want to get out there and live my life!

Read Novels and Blogs

I love reading stories and take time out to read a novel. I also read a lot of blogs by life coaches. I love reading about new ways to still the mind or connecting to my heart.

Allocate Creation Time

I also allocate specific time so I can create! I can create a new article, plot for a new novel, or new ideas in general. I’ll light some candles and get into brainstorming and creation mode at my apartment. Other times, I’ll head to a coffee shop to do it.

Money is Not a Dirty Word

January 1, 2015 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

Most people hold a negative belief about money. Money seems to be a dirty word for them. You can’t blame them, because this belief has been shoved down our throats for ages. Growing up, I respected money, but it held a similar meaning for me. I thought it was something that came with struggle.

Money is Composed of Energy

You Are Meant to Be Prosperous

This belief must be changed. My parents didn’t deliberately tell me money was a dirty word. It was passed on from their families, and hence was then passed onto me. I saw friends and random people also stating similar views about money.

Another common view? That if you’re a good person, you won’t have enough money. But that is not simply true either.

When you hold these beliefs, then it is seeped in your subconscious and your reality constantly reflects that vision.

Ironically, Yet Everyone Desires Money – Lots of It!

Yet everyone wants money. Lots and lots of it. It is possible to have more than enough money to flow into your life. Yes!! How? By adopting a positive belief about money. By realizing, it is not a dirty word, but rather a divine right of yours to be prosperous.

You attract what you send out. Anything you pay more attention to will come back to you. Why not hold a positive belief about money, so you can naturally attract situations and events that allow you to have more money?

Ushering in the New Year by Spending a Quiet Evening with My Family

December 30, 2014 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

One more day until New Year’s Eve! I unusually feel happy this time of the year. I’m excited to usher in 2015. My intuition is telling me it’s going to be a powerful, exciting, and loving year for me.

Ushering in New Year

Spent 2014 Setting the Foundation & Clearing the Space

From the moment the clock ticked and it was 2014, I entered the year with a steely determination to move forward. I wanted to stop living the way I was living and instead start living with more purpose.

Living with a purpose wasn’t just a far off goal into the distance anymore. It had to be a reality.

I also cleared emotional, financial, and physical space in my life. It was healing, intense, and therapeutic.

Ushering In the New Year Quietly and Beautifully

I desire to complete this year by spending quality time with my family and dog Raja. I’ll enjoy a nourishing home made meal. (Depending on my mother’s mood and how tired she is, we may order some delicious take out, too!) I’ll play with my dog Raja.

I’ll kick back on the sofa with my parents and siblings and watch some show on television. I probably won’t even pay much attention to the show, bu that doesn’t matter. The whole evening will be about relaxing and letting go.

I want to have meaningful conversations with my family and of course fit in our Bollywood gossip with my mother and sister. That will be the perfect evening.

How are you spending New Year’s Eve? Please share with me in the comments.

Create An Amazing Business and Life Through Self Love

December 29, 2014 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

You may want to create an amazing life and business, but don’t know where to start. Before you start researching and diving deep in books and blogs, ask yourself this question: How much do you love yourself?

Create an Amazing Life and Business through Self-Love

It’s an interesting question to ask yourself. It will shed light on the kind of relationship you share with yourself.

Honing the bond you share with yourself so it fills you up with light and beauty will transform your life.

Have Me Time!

The real secret to creating an amazing life and business is focusing on loving yourself. This is why it’s important to have “me” time so you can center yourself and connect to your stillness. Creativity and great ideas spark during this stillness.

Being busy is overrated. By allocating proper time and care to yourself, you’ll be so attuned to your desires and self that anything you do in your life and business will come from a place of love.

Create a Personal Vision and Purpose

It’s easy to get caught up in the rut of life. But when you possess a larger vision, then you manage your time better. You make decisions that bring you fulfillment and value instead of wandering aimlessly.

Pour Your Love into Your Self

As cliched as this sounds, love yourself, even your flaws. Once you shine the light on your own worth, you will expand your own vision and create an amazing life and business.

What are some ways you create an amazing life? How do you love yourself and expand your vision? Please share with me in the comments.

Go After What You Truly Want

December 26, 2014 by Priyanka Leave a Comment

Your desires can be grand visions of how you want to lead your life. But often, your desires scare you. They terrify you because they seem unattainable. So you settle for something less. You push your desires away.

Go After What You Want

Accept the Possibility Your Desire Can Come True

Don’t think about how it’s going to happen. Because when you start to think about the how and when, then you shut yourself from even entertaining the thought. You develop fears and paralyze yourself in these fears.

Whenever I lunged towards something or someone I wanted, I realized the fear was greater in my head than in actuality. I’m not undermining the fear, the fear was there. But not going after what I wanted, I didn’t feel good at all. I felt gripped by fear all the time.

Your Thoughts Will Keep Leading You Back to Your Desires

You’ll keep thinking about what could be or what if. You’ll drive yourself crazy doing that. Wouldn’t it be better just to go after what you want and find out? From my experience, whenever I put my heart into something, it worked out beautifully most of the time.

Sometimes, it didn’t turn out the way I expected, but I felt alive through the entire journey. I felt proud of myself for attempting. I’m not saying that I didn’t feel disappointed or upset if things didn’t turn out the way I wanted, but I knew that I could move forward either way and look back with no regrets.

Did you go after what you truly want? What was your experience? Please share with me in the comments.
