Avoid Temptations And Wrong Paths Along The Way

 We’ve been talking about living with purpose for quite some time. If you've been following our 30 day guided practice, you’ve thought quite a bit about what you may want to change or tweak in your own life to live more intentionally and with more purpose. Ideally, you will have started to incorporate some of those ideas and are starting to live more purposefully. The ideas I've been sharing and writing about come from A Pilgrimage to Self, my lifestyle coaching membership.

There are many benefits to joining a program like A Pilgrimage to Self. For starters, you join a supportive community of Pilgrims on a similar journey.

The journey starts with self-awareness as you discover your current mindset, core beliefs, and negative self-talk. Once you've identified your PATH, you will design the life of your dreams and develop a plan for real progress. You'll follow the philosophy of the Indian Proverb and visit each of your four rooms to "air" them out, you'll also choose a focus goal to work toward; for some, it is losing weight and for others, it could be decluttering the physical space.

As your journey continues, you'll learn strategies and practices that will move you along the PATHS toward self-love, purpose and meaning, and living an extraordinary life. Don't you deserve to feel peace, joy, and success every single day?

Sometimes, old habits are hard to break and it’s not uncommon to slip back into familiar behavioral patterns that no longer align with your wish to live more intentionally. In addition, there will be things and people tempting you to stray off your path as well. You may have the best of intentions to live healthier for example and take better care of your body, but when you walk into the break room at work there’s a big box of doughnuts tempting you. Or maybe you are trying hard to be more patient and understanding with your young children on a day when they are determined to push all your buttons and test the limits of that new patience. It happens. Life is messy and there will always be things that go wrong and people who intentionally or unintentionally try to lead us down the wrong path.

The best way to deal with temptations is to expect them. They are going to show up sooner or later. If they surprise you, you will be more likely to give in. If you know they are coming, you can guard yourself better against them. Learn from each temptation and realize that each one you avoid makes you stronger and more determined to stay your course.

Even with the best intention and our guard up against temptation we can end up heading down the wrong path. Life happens and sometimes things are out of our control. At other times, we may not notice that we’ve chosen a wrong turn until we’re well up that wrong path. It’s okay. It happens. It’s simply time to change course and get back on track. This is why it is important to frequently review what we’re doing. This allows us to see what’s happening and if what we’re doing is still aligned with our intentions, our purposes, and our values. Having an accountability group, our private community for A Pilgrimage to Self members, also helps you stay on track; it's a place to share your thoughts, feelings, and questions. You'll be guided, inspired, encouraged, and supported to live your purpose and an Intentional Life.

As we continue on this 30 day guided practice, make sure you take this time for reflection and adjust as needed as you go along on this exciting journey of living a purpose driven life.

I know life can be overwhelming...I've been there. I know how difficult it can be to overcome the challenges on one's path...I've been there. I know it's more difficult to do it on your own...I've been there.

You do not have to travel on this journey alone; however, you are the only one that can do the work to reconnect to your highest good.

It's time.
