Welcome to Mama Goddess. I'm your host, Alexandra J. Johnson. This podcast is all about rocking your goddess life, creating vibrant health and celebrating motherhood and family life. It's about living an authentically awesome life. Let's have some fun.
Hey, everyone, it's Alexandra. Hope you're having an awesome day. So today's video is all about basically just doing what makes you come alive. And we have a little bit of a rainstorm happening, so hope you enjoy the nice rain. It's amazing. So doing what you love. This has been something I've been thinking about. I have started kind of vlogging and sharing what I'm doing in a day on our Optimize Oasis. And I've been, you know, just sharing how I move, how much I meditate, what my thoughts are. I love doing all that stuff. Like, I love anything having to do with optimizing my life and anything that has to do with health and wellness and healing and spirituality and parenting and marriage and family life. Like, those things really just set my soul on fire. I love to be engaged with them. I love to learn about those things. I'm just so passionate about them. And I was thinking about the quote, which I think is really awesome by Howard Thurman, and it is, don't ask yourself what the world needs. Ask yourself what makes you come alive? And then go do that. Because what the world needs is people who have come alive. And I think that is so right on. I think, especially because we have so many challenges right now in the world. There's just so much that's coming to the surface that needs transformation. And I think sometimes we can wonder, like, am I doing enough? What should I be doing? And I think that quote really just brings it home, like, what makes you come alive? Because the world needs more people to come alive. If everybody was doing what they loved and was engaged with things that made them, you know, made their hearts sing, then I think the world would be a really different place. And I think the more that we do that, the more we model for other people that they, too, can, you know, follow their passions. And that doesn't mean you always get paid for doing the things that you love. You can, and that's a noble goal as well, but just the act of being by doing things that you love. Like I said, I love to study those things. And I love doing videos. I love interviewing people. I love writing. I love doing meditations. Like, these things, literally, they make me feel like I come alive when I do those things. So this video is just as you are looking at the world and all the suffering that's going on. To do what we can and to. Yeah, to do what we can, do what we feel called to do in those situations and all of the challenges and obstacles that we are being faced with right now. And then also coming back to, like, what makes your soul come alive, when do you feel most alive? And then do more of that. So quick little video for you today. Hopefully that is helpful for you to either do more of what you love or. Yeah, that's. That's my thoughts for today. So I hope you have a wonderful day and I'm sending you lots of love.
We hope you enjoyed this episode of Mama Goddess. Sending you lots of love and blessings. If you'd like to connect more, go to mamagoddess.com until next time, keep rock and have an awesome day.
