116 Living Changes Your Life

Asking, “Whose life are you living?” is not a confrontational question. It’s a curious one. A gentle one. The kind that rises quietly when you finally pause long enough to hear it.

Life is wild. It moves fast, asks a lot, and rarely waits for us to catch our breath. We learn how to function early on—how to sort, clean, manage, provide, and repeat. In many ways, life becomes a series of rinse-and-repeat cycles. We get good at them because we have to. Responsibility demands it.

And yet, even when everything looks “fine” from the outside, there’s often a sacred part of us that taps softly and asks, Is this my life? Or am I performing it?

Life doesn’t ask us to become a perfect shape. It asks us to notice the shape we’re already in—mentally, emotionally, spiritually. It asks us to stop arguing with the river and instead learn how we move with its current.

So much of what exhausts us comes from performance. From wearing costumes that don’t quite fit. From being one version of ourselves out in the world and another version at home—often depleted, irritable, or numb. 

That’s not service. That’s self-abandonment dressed up as responsibility.

Living is different.

Living is alignment. Not alignment as a buzzword, but alignment as truth in your bones. It’s when what you care about, how you spend your energy, and who you allow yourself to be are in honest conversation with one another.

One of the great truths I learned when I died is this: every one of us is born with soul-level methods. These are the innate ways your soul knows how to move through the world—through art, healing, teaching, building, parenting, creating, listening, leading, protecting, or loving.

The methods are macro. The path gives them shape. And the way you walk that path—the pace, the tone, the style—is uniquely yours.

When you ignore your methods, life feels heavy. When you honor them, something begins to flow. Not because life becomes easy, but because it becomes true.

You don’t need to betray who you are to be loved. Life does not require that sacrifice. And if any part of your life demands that kind of betrayal, it’s worth pausing to look more closely.

Being alive doesn’t mean being happy all the time. Sometimes it means grief. Confusion. A mind that won’t quiet down. When that happens, the invitation isn’t to force stillness, but to break things down—macro to micro—and ask what truly matters now.

Not what’s urgent. What’s important.

Because when you come back to what matters—when you come back to yourself—you remember: living isn’t something you perform.

It’s something you embody.

And when you do, living really will change your life.

GOING INWARD EXERCISE

Finding What Truly Matters (Not What’s Urgent)

Set aside 15–20 quiet minutes. No phone. No agenda.

1. Create a pause.
   Sit comfortably and take three slow breaths. Let your body settle. You’re not trying to fix anything—just arrive.
2. Empty the urgency list.
   On paper, write down everything that feels loud, demanding, or pressing right now. Don’t judge it. Just get it out.
3. Ask the deeper question.
   Now ask yourself, if none of this were urgent, what would still matter?
   Let the answer rise slowly.
4. Name your three most important things.
   These are not tasks. They are values, ways of being, or soul-level priorities.
   Examples might include: creative expression, meaningful connection, healing, rest, truth, service, and presence.
5. Listen to your body.
   As you write each one down, notice how your body responds. A softening, warmth, or sense of “yes” is guidance.
6. Reflect gently.
   Ask: Where am I honoring these right now? Where am I not?
   No fixing. Just noticing.
7. Close with compassion.
   Place a hand on your heart and acknowledge yourself for listening.

This is how living begins—by remembering what truly matters.
