Living a life with more purpose starts with showing up and being present-in the moment. Actively choosing to participate in the NOW! You will never get the moment back, so why not enjoy this time and soak it all in? Be present in this moment.
Here are my suggestions for living a life with more purpose...5 things you can implement everyday!
Be Intentional
With everything that you do, in all aspects of your life:
Faith
Family
Your Attitude
Committments
Career
Personal Self-Care
Setting intentions is powerful. It can even help to hold yourself accountable.
Examples:
I will go to church on Sundays
I will have less screen time and play with the kids
I will choose to be happy everyday
I will commit and I will NOT commit (we need to learn to say NO sometimes!)
I will work hard, work smart and give it my all, everyday
Keep a Gratitude Journal // Create a Gratitude Practice
This may not be for everyone, but writing down the little things that we are grateful for everyday really puts things into perspective.
Being thankful and grateful is a mindset that we need to have daily-not just around the holidays. By keeping a gratitude journal, you really get an appreciation for every part of your life.
If a journal is not your thing, then get the FREE Gratitude app in the app store. This app lets you express what you are thankful for, write gratitude letters, create affirmations and it even gives you some daily zen!

Read anything.
Never stop learning.
I like to read self help books, personal growth books, health and wellness books, business books, fictional stories...anything....just keep reading-it is a nice escape but also great for keeping you sharp!
Some of my absolute favorite books are:
It's All Under Control
Think and Grow Rich

Master the Game
Present Over Perfect
The Four Agreements
The Secret
The Great Gatsby
The Master Key System

I could go on and on.....
Give Back
Anyway that you can. It is proven to be good for you too!
Time- Volunteering with local charities, animal shelter, non profit events
Financially- donate to causes that are near and dear to your heart
Donating items- clean out toys, clothes, blankets and donate them
Shopping with Purpose through companies that have a social impact
Look at the positive in everything
Consciously making a choice to be happy, see the positive and share the good will improve your mindset.
And your positivity will rub off on others!!
I signs all over my office that encourage this and remind me...
"Think Happy Thoughts"
"Live in the Moment"
"Be Happy"
"Enjoy the little Things"
"Give Thanks"
and a few others....create some or buy some and put them where you will see them often!
