For Business Sake © All rights reserved 5 9 Days on Purpose Journal 9 DAYS LIVING ON PURPOSE JOURNAL The 9 Days on Purpose Journal was created to focus on who you truly are in your Soul’s core being. Each page will enable you to capture your strengths, accomplishments, values, ideas, dreams, aspirations, life and career goals, intentions, achievements, challenges, and so much more. This journal is a structured, thought-based approach to personal growth and spiritual development. It provides you with a platform to express what is on your mind, heart, and Soul using the power of the written word. WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF JOURNALING YOUR LIFE AND CAREER? Writing in a journal allows you to express and release all that is important to you. It can act as the perfect companion for helping you realise what matters most, what you love doing, what you’re talented at, and the skills that come naturally to you. It’s only by knowing the type of person you are that you can begin to realise what you require, need, and want from both your life and career. WHY ONLY 9 DAYS? Once you have Soul searched in the first four chapters, 9 Days on Purpose Journal is the perfect start to your journey of living authentically. Packed with mindful intent, if nothing else, you will gain a new perspective regarding yourself and those around you. The journal is split into five sections: Mindfulness, Mental Wellbeing, Purpose-Driven Career, Purposeful Living, and (finally) consciously Living on Purpose for nine days . WHO SHOULD USE THE 9 DAYS ON PURPOSE JOURNAL? At some point, we all enter into different phases of our lives. Priorities, values, missions, and even visions can change; and we often find that what once was is no longer what it is now. You may be at a stage or point in your life where you keep asking those more in-depth questions such as: Who am I? What is my purpose in life? How can I be

For Business Sake © All rights reserved 6 9 Days on Purpose Journal more of service to the world? What should my next career move be? If so, then the 9 Days on Purpose Journal is for you. WHAT MAKES THE 9 DAYS ON PURPOSE JOURNAL DIFFERENT? The 9 Days on Purpose Journal can act as your inner guidance tool for documenting and highlighting your Soul’s desires. You can use the information about yourself that you’ll be documenting in the first four chapters as a constant reminder of who you truly are at the core of your being. Some benefits and features of the journal include: · An opportunity to live in a purposeful, mindful way · Options on how to release and let go of negative thoughts and the pent-up tension caused by everyday stress, past hurts, and lingering resentment · The ability to identify triggers that cause you to act negatively (and positively), and how to act accordingly. (As Maya Angelou once said, “When you know better, you do better!” · Reduces excessive replaying of conversations (rumination) WHAT DOES LIVING ON PURPOSE MEAN? “We are not human beings having a spiritual experience. We are spiritual beings having a human experience.” -Pierre Teilhard de Chardin The word PURPOSE has so many different connotations. Some people believe it is your guidance system, used for spirituality or religious beliefs. Others think it’s connected to a vocation, such as a purpose-driven career; and others see it in life itself (i.e., everything we do and say). People’s view of purpose can also change over time due to varying circumstances, such as a life-changing experience which offers a different perspective of thought and contradicts a once-believed, subjective opinion. Your purpose is the deep need within you to fulfil that which is meaningful.

For Business Sake © All rights reserved 7 9 Days on Purpose Journal It’s usually based on a far greater calling than just our wants, needs, and desires. You’ve heard people using the expressions: “I just felt the need to do something about it,” or “I was born for this.” Some say they were no longer fulfilled doing the thing they once loved. “I believe we will never truly know what our purpose is, as the people we meet and experience throughout our life’s journey is the PURPOSE. Just by recognising, acknowledging, and surrendering, this is what I call LIVING ON PURPOSE.” -Jacy Stewart The 9 Days on Purpose Journal uses the word “purpose” to mean “living in alignment with who you truly are at your soul’s core.” · It helps you to know how to surrender and accept what is actually for you. · It encourages having faith in knowing that everything happens for a reason, and that everything that happens is preparing you for the next phase/stage/chapter/level in your life. · We are all born for a unique purpose, and our job is to find out what matters to us, not what others want us to be. · It’s about using our talents, skills, and experiences to make a difference in this world. And lastly, for this journal, it’s about aligning your personal identity with your professional identity; and, for nine days, daily incorporating the nine adopted principles, your core values, goals, and intentions. WHAT ARE THE 9 PRINCIPLES? To live on purpose is to live authentically every day by your words, actions, thoughts, and (most importantly) through your intentions. This means to: 1. Live in consciousness, free from judgments and assumptions. 2. Remain in control of your emotions and take responsibility for your actions. 3. Know that the only time we ever have is NOW, so always be present. 4. Stop looking outside of yourself for love, joy, happiness it’s already within you

For Business Sake © All rights reserved 12 Before you start your 9 Days on Purpose, you’ll need to define what truly matters to you. That means you need to complete all 4 self-actualisations sections of the Journal.

HOW TO COMPLETE THE JOURNAL The 9 Days on Purpose Journal has been written and developed for you to complete sequentially. While some of the self-actualisation exercises are self-explanatory, some may be a little more challenging. In this respect, there are some examples of how to complete the activities at the back of the journal. It may also be helpful to ask someone who knows you to help you to complete some of the sections. Most of the journal will be done as part of your day-to-day life and career; and, as such, you can expect to see, hear, and feel the changes as you achieve personal growth and development. In nine days, you will accomplish transformational change in your life and career as you complete tasks and goals while simultaneously drawing on your passion, excellence, dreams, desires, wants, and requirements. The first four sections of the journal are self-reflective, and the 9 Days Living on Purpose “Opportunity Discovery” can only come from THE FOUR SELF ACTUALISATIONS SECTIONS INCLUDE

For Business Sake © All rights reserved 13 taking action and learning by doing. In the 9 Days on Purpose Journal, the thought-based approach of self-actualisation exercises will let you live your life on purpose based on what you know about yourself. We adopt ideas, concepts, beliefs, and values throughout our lives as our guiding principles, otherwise known as our perceptions. These perceptions effectively govern how we think, hear, see, and communicate. With regular daily practice, you will: · Learn how to control your mental state of wellbeing, as well as mindset. · Align your core values with your goals and tasks in your life and career. · Create new patterns of behaviour, which align more closely with who you were born to be and who you can grow to be. · Stop giving away your control to those who do not serve your best interest. · Act on what you have learnt and discovered about yourself. · Reap the benefits and witness the effects of the experiences learned from doing the exercises. DIY COACHING & MENTORING Once you have completed your journal, it can act as your personal companion to working with a mentor, professionally qualified life coach, or career coach. A life coach is someone who can support you in overcoming challenges/obstacles and keep you in alignment with who you were born to be. A career coach will support you in ensuring that your personality aligns with your calling, guiding you to your purpose-driven career. A mentor is someone successful in their chosen profession/career. They act as a trusted advisor who can introduce you to key contacts and resources and act as a role model and advisor. Both coach and mentor will give you motivation, inspiration, encouragement, and support while holding you accountable to your words in wanting to achieve. They will guide you along your journey to continue living a purposeful life and career.

For Business Sake © All rights reserved 38 PRINCIPLE ONE LIVING IN CONSCIOUSNESS, FREE FROM JUDGMENTS AND ASSUMPTIONS As you have just written and acknowledged your achievements, challenges, accomplishments, and all that you aspire to, you can now grasp how inappropriate it is to judge or make assumptions on anybody else’s life and career. Judging someone negatively says more about the person judging than it does about the person being judged, as it is based on a subjective and limited opinion. Some great examples of this can be found in the book The Four Agreements by Don Miguel Ruiz. Judging people by our standards is a common mistake made by all of us at some point in our lives. We tend to think that just because we would never do a particular thing, never say a certain thing, treat someone in such a way, etc., that no one else should either. We forget that we are all on a journey and are all following different paths. Along the way, each of us reaches levels of enlightenment that others are yet to experience or have already achieved. Appreciating that everyone reflects on challenges faced, achievements attained, wants, needs, and desires are acknowledging that we all have a purpose. We are all thriving to fulfil it in our own unique way. Who are we to judge or assume?
