Have Fun Experimenting

Yesterday one of my clients wanted coaching on feeling like she had a purpose. She told me nothing in her life was giving her *that* feeling.

You know, the one where she felt like she was in the right place doing what she was supposed to be doing.

We started by looking at her Incarnation Cross. In Human Design the Incarnation Cross is the storyline of your life purpose. It's not about your job. You can fulfill your purpose regardless of what you do for work.

Understanding it helps you align your energy and time with your purpose in all areas of life.

Based on her chart we explored what she thought would give her *that* feeling. And narrowed it down to two things - creating (physical art or writing) and connection.

Then I asked her to brainstorm some things she could try that would bring those two things together. And she shut down. She didn't want to come up with any ideas.

Because she was worried what she tried wouldn't be the thing she was looking for.

She had been telling herself she couldn't try anything until she knew for sure it was the exact thing she was seeking.

But the truth is she wouldn't know until she actually tried them.

So I encouraged her to experiment. We came up with a handful of possibilities she was willing to try.

And then let herself have fun in the process of figuring it out. If one of the ideas on her list lights up her soul - fantastic, mission accomplished.

If not, she had fun trying new things and is so much closer to figuring what will than she would be if she hadn't tried.

I invite you to create an experiment of your own.

What is it you're looking for? Fun, Purpose, Connection, Joy, Adventure, Space, Healing, Growth... ?

Once you answer, come up with a list of things you could try that might create it for you. Then have fun trying them. No pressure to get it right, just enjoy the process.
