Some of us find it difficult to begin spiritual work, and that’s completely okay.
No one ever taught us how to do this before.

Whenever we learn a new way of living or seeing the world, the best place to start is small.
Small changes help our nervous system adapt gently.
They also give us powerful insights into how spiritual teachings can fit our own reality, rhythm, and way of life.

That’s why I suggest this simple exercise: choose one small objective (a purpose) and work on it for seven days.

This practice builds understanding, consistency, and discipline, creating a strong foundation that will soon allow you to fly higher.

• Day 1 – Intention & Grounding

Purpose: Establish direction (choose a small change or achievement to begin with)
Practice:

1. Sit quietly for 5 minutes. Breathe slowly.
2. Ask yourself: “Why do I want inner change?”
3. Write one clear intention (1 sentence).
4. End by placing one hand on your chest and taking 3 deep breaths.

📝 Example: “I intend to develop clarity and discipline to live my purpose.”

• Day 2 – Awareness of the Mind

Purpose: Build self-observation
Practice:

1. Sit for 7 minutes in silence.
2. Notice thoughts as they arise » don’t fight them.
3. Label them gently: planning, worrying, remembering.
4. Journal briefly: What thoughts dominate my mind?

🧠 Key insight: You are not your thoughts » you observe them.

• Day 3 – Emotional Honesty

Purpose: Emotional clarity
Practice:

1. Breathe slowly for 3 minutes.
2. Ask: “What am I truly feeling today?”
3. Name the emotion without judgment.
4. Write: What might this emotion be teaching me?

💡 Growth begins when emotions are acknowledged, not suppressed.

• Day 4 – Values Alignment

Purpose: Inner integrity
Practice:

1. Write down 3 values that matter most to you.
2. Reflect: Do my daily actions reflect these values?
3. Choose one small action today to align better.

⚖️ Spirituality becomes real through action.

• Day 5 – Letting Go

Purpose: Release inner resistance
Practice:

1. Sit quietly for 5 minutes.
2. Ask: “What am I holding onto that drains me?”
3. Write it down.
4. Say (silently or aloud): “I release what no longer serves my growth.”

🕊️ Letting go creates inner space.

• Day 6 – Connection Beyond the Self

Purpose: Meaning and humility
Practice:

Choose one:

• Spend time in nature
• Help someone without expecting return
• Pray, meditate, or reflect on gratitude

End by writing: How did this shift my perspective?
🌍 Purpose expands beyond ego.

• Day 7 – Integration & Reflection

Purpose: Consolidate growth
Practice:

1. Review the week.
2. Write answers to: – What changed in my awareness? – What felt challenging? – What felt natural?
3. Decide one practice to continue daily.

🔁 Growth comes from integration, not intensity.

Daily Anchor (Optional but Powerful)
Each morning or evening, repeat:
“I act with gratitude, awareness, integrity, alignment and purpose.”
