EP: 17 Survival Is Not The Enemy, The #Sparked Life Podcast

Purpose Peep,

Have you heard statements that pit surviving against thriving?  Some sound like, “go from surviving to thriving.” I went so far in one of my tag lines to say, “end survival as a lifestyle to thrive in your life of purpose.”  During my exploration of yes/and strategies,  I heard the divide and could see another possibility.

Screenshot (549)Surviving and thriving are not at war with one another or at opposite ends of a spectrum.  We are wired to kick into survival mode when needed and to return to our homestate when the danger is no longer present.  The issue lies in staying in survival mode in a defensive posture, which can be problematic to thriving in life, which requires being open, vulnerable and available to our path to purpose journey and experiences.

I realized my desired outcome for myself and clients is not to end survival as a lifestyle but to transform survival as a lifestyle by letting it be just what it is–a temporary strategy.  We are all living through temporary survival strategies as our response to the COVID19 pandemic.  Life will shift as we live and heal through this experience.

I believe that as we co-create our new normal, what we learn and cultivate during this time will become the bedrock, the strong foundation, for what will come.  In this episode, let’s unlock and face our survival patterns of old and hold them up to the light of now and who we are becoming as Purpose Peeps.

Listen here.

The #Sparked Life Podcast EP 10: The Purpose & Power of Your Story

The #Sparked Life Podcast
The #Sparked Life Podcast with Dena Wiggins

Hello Purpose Peeps!

In this episode of The #Sparked Life, we unlock the purpose and power of our stories.  This is a great follow-on from recent episodes!

In our last time together, we unlocked the milestones in our story that reveal what we are graced for.  Then we layered our experience map with our distractions that we experienced and how we perceived them at the time.  Our homework after this session will be adding our major relationships!

I am so excited to share more about my purpose story and how I experientially learned the power of the sparked life mindset and intention.  Check out how these lessons were reinforced with recent events.  Purpose Peeps, this is sooooo juicy like biting into a Georgia peach!

Build Awareness

  • How purpose unfolds
  • How we relate to life events
  • Affirming synchronicity

Intentional Practice

  • Choosing to have the sparked life mindset and intention is a choice
  • Adding the relationship lens to our path to purpose story

EP 5: Before The Vision Board Party, Do This!

Connect wi!th your spark, take inspired action, live YOUR Sparked Life

Hey Purpose Peeps!

It’s the last few days of the year and many of us, Purpose Peeps, are preparing for the Vision Board Parties!  We are ready to set our focus and intention on what is to come.  Before you step into the new, I invite you to do an Unlock Me Review. This is a vital key to Vision Board prep.

Why A Review Before You Set An Intention For The Year?

Putting on my resultant hat, before we move our focus to what’s to come, let’s create space to welcome the new. Take the wisdom and themes of 2018 that can impact our 2019 experiences.

Slow Down To Go Fast

Slow your roll for a minute and let’s check in to make sure we’ve unwrapped all of the gifts from 2018, the insight, knowledge, and purpose, leaving what we need to leave in 2018 and keep what needs to live in our toolkit moving forward. If we believe life is working for us, what is it preparing us for? How many times have we looked in retrospect to discover we were being prepared for something but missed the clues? Here’s a way to respond differently and get a new result.

I have an online program called the Unlock Me Review available at www.denawiggins.com with a Purpose Peep coupon that I share in the podcast, with a mini version available through the podcast.  Learn:

  • My tried and true technique to “squeeze the sponge” and make room for the new
  • How to be at peace and bless a time period before moving forward
  • 3 Questions you can apply at any time to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity

Go into the next phase of your path to purpose with perspective, a strong foundation and new tools in your toolkit!

Every learning that we glean in life can be extracted and leveraged as a key to our success.

Dena Wiggins

Part of the ongoing action requirement of living The Sparked Life is to continue to unlock and sharpen the tools in our toolkit. There are some super simple exercises that become a part of our intentional practice that make all the difference in how we experience life.

Enjoy!

With love and commitment to you living your sparked life,

Dena

EP 4: Have You Evah? The #Sparked Life

The #Sparked Life Podcast
The #Sparked Life Podcast with Dena Wiggins

Hey Purpose Peeps!

In this podcast we explore, “Have you evah?” No, I did not miss a spell check! This is, “have you ever” with an attitude.

Purpose Peeps, have you evah:

  • Had some life events or situations that knocked the wind out of you? AND, you did not share about your experience because you’re supposed to be be further along and the event “should not” rock you to your core?
  • Had some life events that took you back to your existing or survival toolkit?
  • Had some life events that appeared like the thing you thought you conquered or the test you already “passed?”

If you answered yes to any or all of the have you evahs, guess what, you are a Purpose Peep living The #Sparked Life with the OPPORTUNITY to have a different relationship with life and as a result, different outcomes! Listen and consider three perspectives to shift the dynamic of have you evah to building your #Sparked Life muscles!

The Have You Evah 3P Shifters:

  1. Prioritization shifts your relationship to the event. What is the placement of this event in your life RIGHT now? What is in your CURRENT toolkit? Do you see the path the event cleared to take you to a new resource in your toolkit?
  2. Purpose shifts the event from something against you to something for you even if it comes in a challenging package? What is the purpose of the event as it relates to your spark?
  3. Past connections can sometimes make the events seem bigger and larger than what they really are! You are not the same Purpose Peep as when you last experienced something like this.

…And of course there is some juicy homework to leverage what we unlock about YOUR #Sparked Life! This time we unlock three activities to:

  1. Match your perspective with where you are on the purpose path,
  2. Unlock your responses to life events, and
  3. Envision your outcomes and Align with your required Responses!

Purpose Peeps, as Resultants, you know we have homework related to our discussion! We also are incorporating a new affirmation at the end of this episode. Powerful stuff! As always, email me at info@denawiggins.com, explore more in the #SparkNotes blog on http://www.denawiggins.com and share your experience with other Purpose Peeps on our FB page @denaforyourpurpose.

Are you ready?

Let’s go!
