Guide to Uncovering Your Next Steps

Re-discovering ourselves

If you’re standing at a crossroads, feeling the stirrings of something deeper—a call to align with your soul’s purpose. Perhaps you’re awake at night, wondering what’s keeping you from moving forward, or sensing that your current path no longer fits. This is a sacred moment, an invitation to uncover the next steps in your unique journey. Let’s walk together through this process, using the wisdom within you to illuminate the way.

"Your sacred space is where you can find yourself again and again." - Joseph Campbell

Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you discover what’s next


1. Listen to What’s Moving Within You

Start by tuning into your inner world. What emotions, thoughts, or questions are keeping you awake? Are you restless, yearning for clarity about your purpose? Sit quietly—perhaps with a candle or in nature—and ask, “What is stirring in my heart?” Don’t force answers; let them rise like whispers from your soul. Journal what comes up, even if it’s messy or unclear. This practice, like the “paying attention to thoughts” you mentioned, helps you hear the voice of your inner guide, revealing what’s ready to shift. Or play with the colors and make art with the words that need to rise up.


2. Take Inventory: What’s Working, What Isn’t?

Create space to reflect on your life with honesty and compassion. Write an inventory list, dividing a page into two columns: “What’s Working” and “What’s Not Working.” Under “Working,” note what brings you joy, energy, or alignment—maybe a hobby, a relationship, or a quiet moment of gratitude. Under “Not Working,” list what feels draining, stagnant, or misaligned—perhaps a job, a habit, or self-doubt. This exercise isn’t about judgment; it’s about clarity. Seeing your life on paper helps you discern where your energy flows and where it’s blocked, guiding you toward what to release or nurture.


3. Dream Without Constraints

Now, let your soul play. Ask yourself the powerful question you posed: If money, responsibility, or time weren’t constraints, what would I do for myself? Close your eyes and imagine a life where you’re free to follow your heart. What makes you smile? Is it creating art, traveling, helping others, or learning something new? Write down every idea, no matter how big or small. These desires are clues to your soul’s medicine—the unique gifts you’re here to share. They point to the steps that will light you up, and reconnect you with your purpose.


4. Identify What Excites You

From your list of dreams, circle the ideas that spark excitement. Excitement is your soul’s compass, signaling where your energy wants to flow. Maybe it’s a small joy, like gardening, or a bold vision, like starting a business. Ask, “What about this feels alive to me?” For example, if teaching excites you, is it the act of sharing knowledge or connecting with others? This clarity helps you prioritize steps that align with your authentic self, moving you away from the restlessness and scattered focus you’ve felt.


5. Take Baby Steps Toward Discovery

You don’t need to leap into a new life overnight. Baby steps are the most important part of uncovering your path. Choose one small action from your list of exciting ideas—something that feels doable yet meaningful. If you dream of writing, start with 10 minutes a day. If you’re drawn to helping others, volunteer once a month. Each step is a conversation with your soul, revealing more about your purpose. Celebrate these actions, no matter how tiny—they’re building momentum and trust in your inner wisdom.


6. Embrace Your Unique Medicine

You are the medicine. Your life’s experiences, passions, and even struggles are part of the unique gift you bring to the world. Reflect on how your journey has shaped you. What challenges have taught you resilience? What joys have shown you your strengths? Write a statement affirming your medicine, like, “I am here to inspire through my creativity” or “I bring peace through my compassion.” This anchors you in your purpose, reminding you that the answers lie within, ready to guide you through this powerful phase of evolution.


7. Shift Your Perspective on Challenges

When obstacles arise—doubt, fear, or external pressures—see them as teachers, not barriers. Like the curveballs, these moments are chances to grow. Ask, “What is this showing me about myself?” For instance, if you feel stuck, it might be an invitation to rest or explore a new direction. This shift in perception, as you emphasized, transforms how you relate to yourself and others, creating space for grace and possibility in your journey.


8. Seek Support for Deeper Clarity

If you crave more depth, consider working with a spiritual coach or mentor, and connect with me on a 1:1 session. A guide can help you uncover blind spots, set intentions, and stay accountable. Alternatively, you can explore my book Connect to Your Inner Guide . Journaling prompts, meditation, or prayer can also deepen your connection to your inner wisdom.


9. Trust the Evolution

You’re stepping into a powerful phase, —a time of transformation and alignment. Trust that these shifts, even the uncomfortable ones, are part of your soul’s evolution. Each question you ask, each step you take, is weaving a tapestry of purpose. You don’t need to see the whole path—just the next step. Hold space for uncertainty, knowing it’s where growth blooms, and affirm daily: “I am exactly where I need to be.”


10. Reflect and Revisit

Return to this process regularly. Your inventory, dreams, and excitements will evolve as you do. Set aside time each month to check in: What’s shifted? What new steps feel right? This practice keeps you aligned with your soul’s rhythm, ensuring you move through life with intention and joy.


We’re stepping into a powerful phase of our lives, and these shifts are essential to our evolution. Embrace them fully. Here is your invitation to discover your soul’s purpose, overcome restlessness, and uncover next steps through introspection, dreaming big, and taking baby steps toward personal growth.
