Today we're going to talk about living a life with purpose . Before I knew what this really meant , I used to roll my eyes at the idea of this . But living a life with purpose doesn't mean you're living some grandiose , inspirational life that's full of spiritual significance and worthy of dramatic theme music .
Uh no , it means something quite a bit different and that , my friend , is exactly what we're going to talk about today . Welcome to Creative Self-Care . I'm your host , crystal McLean , and together we're exploring new and innovative ways to care for the mind , body and mother , love and soul so we can live healthy , empowered lives , individually and collectively .

So living a life with purpose simply means that we're attaching meaning to our actions . There's a reason why we're doing something , and the more we can align these reasons with our true wants , needs and values , the more effective and satisfying our actions are going to be .
Living from a place of purpose is also going to make it easier for us to make decisions , especially when those decisions are hard ones . Before I got really clear about my own reasons for why I was doing anything in my life , I felt a lot of resistance towards change .
Not only that , but I found myself easily distracted or swayed from my goals , and that's because I didn't have anything that really grounded me . And that's the root of all successful self-care is a strong grounding . When we think about something that's grounded , that's deeply rooted , it's strong , secure . It's able to grow exponentially .
When something isn't rooted , it's flimsier and more easily manipulated . The more purpose we attach to our actions that actually comes from a heart-centered , wellness-focused place , the more conviction we have , the more confident we feel , the more likely we are to live that healthy , empowered and satisfying life we deserve .
And so , if you want to discover your purpose , I would like to invite you to my free , creative self-care course . Over time , I'm going to be sharing scientific insights about the functionality of your brain and body .
I'm also going to challenge you to take a look at your biases , mindset and comfort zones , and I'm going to give you prompts that will expand your self-awareness as a whole person . And the reason I'm doing this is so you can grow stronger roots so you can grow exponentially .
The more you know about who you are and how you function , the more valuable information you'll have to create your purpose . You will have strong reasons behind not just your self-care practices , but behind most everything you do . So , yeah , purpose , it's important . If you'd like to have access to my entire creative self-care course , you can access this for free .
You just have to visit my friends and me over at Patreon . I'll leave a direct link to that course in the show notes below . I love you , I appreciate you , thank you so much for being here and I will see you soon .
