Luminous Heart Reiki & Massage

As we come to the end of 2024, I’m hearing a lot of talk about discovering one’s purpose for the new year.

This is causing a lot of stress to some people.

Just so you know, if you don’t have a clear directive as to what your life purpose is, you’re not alone. I don’t know many people who do! My nephew wants to be an astronaut and for several years, his sister wanted to be a dog. Most of the adults I know are much less certain.

If you’re wondering what your purpose in this lifetime is, I have a suggestion. Think about how you want to feel as you go throughout your days rather than a particular role you think you should play. In my eyes, purpose is much less about a career, and more about the qualities we bring to our everyday activities.

You don’t need to figure out if you’re supposed to be a doctor or rockstar or teacher or… a dog. ❤ But it might be nice to make a commitment to being patient or compassionate, perhaps a good listener, nonjudgmental or an all-around kind person.

My current purpose seems to be standing for self-empowerment, particularly regarding holistic wellness. Being a massage and Reiki provider is indeed part of that, but only just a part.

When I’m off the clock, it’s still my intention to take inspired action and cultivate the most physical, mental, emotional, spiritual and energetic health available to me and to model that to others. It’s a large part of my lifestyle and conversations as well as my business. I endeavor to embody the essence of self-empowerment and wellness, regardless of what I’m doing.

So rather than stressing out and taking all the online quizzes about what you want to be when you grow up, you might find some relief in thinking about how you’d like to feel today and taking a step in that direction.
