Sacred Money, Sacred Life Transformational Exercise

By Debra Larson

Most people, I really believe, are living their life not feeling fulfilled or as if they’re living on purpose. I think you probably all agree with me. Look around. That’s what you see. Maybe you’ve even felt that yourself in the past. I know I have.

That’s why I got into business for myself. I was feeling really unfulfilled and like I wasn’t living my purpose. I also felt like my future was being left up to someone else. If any of you have connected with my story on my website, you’ll know and understand that at the point that Eric and I lost everything that I had made a decision if that should ever happen again, I’d be able to rebuild quickly and I’d love doing it. Big difference, right? I’d actually know how and enjoy the process of rebuilding and I’d know I could do it quickly. I knew at that moment I was ready to build again my own business, but this time it looked much different than before, I was training others how to live a fulfilled life, in complete abundance with sharing their knowledge with others and really enjoying it.

I want to help you take your actions and what you’re doing daily and put them into perspective so that you have a way of living your life and appreciating your life at a much deeper level than you ever have.

I teach an exercise that is called “Sacred Money, Sacred Life” taken straight from my Simply Wealthy Sacred Money Archtype© Align your Financial & Spiritual Destiny course which is a very deep, thought-‐provoking exercise, its a very powerful exercise, very illuminating.

We are going to go ahead and do this exercise together.

Put on some soft music, make sure the rest of the house is quiet and take some time for you. Many people don’t think about these things, and when you do it can be life changing – very transformational.

Just remember that “allowing” the emotions to flow can be a good thing, it means that you are healing and moving forward.

Sacred Money, Sacred Life, is designed to help you let go of the things that don’t matter in life and to focus on what does matter most.

This is the sad irony. What matters most is often what gets lost in the hustle and bustle of daily life. I am here to help you put that back front and center.

The second piece of this putting it all together in the Discovering Your Financial Life Purpose exercise, but I will not be teaching this here today.

This is a journaling type of exercise with four questions that build upon each other.

I would love for you to have the benefit here and now with me today to start to write answers for yourself, don’t wait, take action today.

The first segment of these four pieces is called purpose and impact.

I want you to imagine for a moment that you have all the money you need to live the life of your dreams. Take that in for a moment. You have all the money you need to live the life of your dreams.

With that taken care of, what do you spend time on? What do you feel is your purpose? What impact do you focus on creating? Who do you feel called to help? Why do feel compelled to do this?

This is a moment to be as specific as you can and to really allow yourself to dream. Take a few seconds just to write down any first thoughts that come up.

The second question here is on perspective and priorities.

You’ve just learned that you only have five more years of life. The end will come without notice.

Knowing the end of your life is coming sooner rather than later, what changes will you make? What will you do with this all-‐important final phase of your life? What will give your life meaning? What’s the legacy that you want to leave?

Journal the first answers that come to mind. Don’t second guess the answers. Just write.

The next section is completion and closure.

You’ve just been told you only have one day left of life.

What are you feeling?

Are there any regrets or disappointments? Do you have dreams you wish you had fulfilled? Is there anything you wish you had done differently now that your life is about to be complete?

Journal the answers that come to you – First answer, best answer.

For some of you this is bringing up a bit of emotion, take a deep breath and just write what comes.

“You’ve just been told you only have day of life…what are feeling? Do you have unfilled dreams – regrets, what would you do differently?

The final section is realization and renewal.

Looking back at what you journaled in this exercise, what are you saying you want to change in your life?

What choices or decisions will you now make? What are the main themes that you’re noticing? When I say theme, I mean thread or things in common.

I’d love to hear what you’re already seeing as the value from this exercise, comment below and write what value came – it’s highly personal so you don’t need to give specifics in nature, just what value came from this.

I really love this exercise because it’s a bit of a wake-up call for many of you. Great job!

So the power in this exercise comes from this final section “realization and renewal.” I want you to create some concrete action steps you can now take. Be specific. Many of you will have the inclination to be very sweeping and general with your answers.

Let’s take the question:
“What choices or decisions will you now make?” You may say, “I’m going to make new choices about things that make me happier.” That’s very nice, but that doesn’t really mean anything. I want you to get really specific on the action, choice or decision.

There’s no right or wrong way to do this exercise, but you want to be aware of taking you to a more concrete, specific place of action as a result or as a next step of this exercise. That’s what I want you to be looking for in the realization and renewal section.

If you said, “I need to make decisions that bring more happiness in my life,” I would say, “That’s great. What is one of those decisions right now?” I just want you to chunk it down and be specific.

Now here is your Simply Wealthy Action Step: I want to ask you to set a timer for 15 minutes, grab something to sip on such as a cup of coffee or tea, wine, whatever – just relax and take yourself through this exercise in detail. Really dive into this, and do this by yourself and for yourself. You can share it a friend, maybe share it in our comments box below – just share it in some way to really deepen your findings here. State what insights and aha’s come from doing this exercise.

Most importantly, Do this for YOU!
