Fuel your purpose from the inside out

Plus, Dr. Darshan Shah on preventive health and conscious living

If you’ve been reading my work for a while, you know I talk about purpose a lot. I’ve written about treating your purpose like a relationship. And about how to find your dharma. Not to mention deciphering your old dreams to find the meaning behind them.

Often, when discussing finding your purpose, we approach it from an intellectual standpoint. We talk about introspection and reflection, dreams and meaning.

But purpose doesn’t exist solely as an idea to be deconstructed in our minds. Purpose also exists in the body. It moves through your limbs, your heart and your voice.

Think about it like this. Your purpose is a blazing fire burning within you. And your body is the fireplace, the fuel and all the tools that keep that fire burning.

Today, rather than intellectualizing that fire, I want to turn our attention to the hearth. Let’s see if we can listen to the body and hear what it’s telling us.

Your Inner Vitality

In the tradition of Ayurveda, there is a word for your inner vitality: ojas.

Ojas is the energy that flows through your body when it’s nourished and well. It’s the force behind your physical and mental strength, your immunity and resilience, and that special glow you have when you’re thriving.

Ojas is the foundation of well-being. When it’s strong in you, you feel present and alive. When it’s low, even the things you love most can seem difficult.

Try This: Pull out a piece of paper or open a note on your device, and ask yourself the following question: “Where in my body do I feel energy and lightness?” Be specific.

Next, I want you to ask, “Where in my body do I feel tired and tight?”

The more patient you are, the more your body will tell you. As you pay attention to the sensations within you, I want you to start thinking about the times you feel most alive. Where are you? What are you doing? And similarly, the times when you’re the most depleted and near burnout: How does that feel? Where do those sensations occur?

On the spectrum of energized to burnt-out, where does your body currently stand? Don’t feel guilty if the answer is “Not great.” Remember, awareness is the first step toward a more beautiful and vibrant future.

Once you’ve assessed where you’re at, I want you to list the things that make your body feel more vibrant. Only you know what they are, although I’m willing to bet that list includes rest, healthy food and some form of exercise.

Just as a fire can’t burn without fuel, space and protection from the wind, your purpose can’t thrive within a tired and run-down body.

So take care of yourself. Your vitality depends on it.

And if tuning into your body is the first step toward discovering your purpose, taking care of that body is what allows it to carry you there. That means protecting your energy and becoming more aware of what’s quietly draining it.

In Monday’s podcast episode, I sat down with longevity expert Dr. Darshan Shah to discuss preventive health, including one of the most overlooked threats to our well-being: environmental toxins. From the water you drink to the air in your home, we uncover simple, science-backed ways to reduce your exposure and strengthen your body’s natural defenses so you can show up for your life with more clarity, energy and purpose.

I challenge you to commit to feeling more vibrant this week. Reply to this email right now and tell me one thing you’re going to do this week to increase your ojas. I can’t wait to see what you respond, and I’ll share some of your answers next week.

Last week, I challenged you to limit your distractions to gain inner clarity. The responses are really motivating!

Reader Jessica wrote,

That’s great, Jessica. I love that you're not just recognizing what’s draining your energy, but also consciously choosing to reconnect with what fills you up.

Reader Susan listed a few things she’d like to cut back on, including social media, overcommitting herself and multitasking during conversations or meals. What’s more, she’s using a daily checklist to track her progress. She said,

These aren’t just habits you’re trying to shift, Susan. They’re patterns you’re gently rewiring with awareness, care and clarity. And the way you’re choosing to meet boredom and discomfort with curiosity instead of resistance? That’s powerful. That’s where growth begins.

Nearly everyone mentioned social media of some kind, which I can certainly relate to. Let’s all try to limit our social media exposure. Our minds will be better off.
