I love talking about creating and living a soulfully luxurious life. It’s the cornerstone of everything that I share about, and it’s how I’ve been living my life for several years now. But there’s a lot of confusion about what this really means, and it’s time to address that confusion right now.

For many, luxury is something that’s just entirely out of reach. There’s an assumption that luxury is expensive, it’s elitist, and that it’s for “those people” – which is another way of saying that it’s not for you!

It’s true, luxury can be all of these things, especially when you equate luxury with things like private jets, a couture wardrobe, having a private chef and more. But there is so much more to luxury that CAN be yours without you needing to create a budget and take on a second job to foot the bill!

The essence of luxury is really all about those things, places and experiences that elevate you, support you, and free you up to be able to focus instead on the things that really matter the most to you. Three of the greatest luxuries that there are have nothing to do with needing a big bank balance. They are TIME, SPACE, and ENERGY.

So what about the “soulful” piece?

This is one of the essential elements of Soul-Luxe Living – it’s so essential that SOUL is the first word! Soulful luxury is all about those elevating things, places and experiences that feed and nourish you on a soul level. They soothe your soul and help you align more deeply with that integral part of you that wants to grow, evolve and become more of what it truly is and is meant to be.

Soulful luxury isn’t about acquiring more things, or filling your life with superfluous stuff. It’s not about making your life feel even more overwhelming than it already does. Instead, it’s about refinement, consistent upgrades that over time elevate and support you, and bring you closer to who you really are and who you want to be.

Have you incorporated this idea of soulful luxury into your plans for 2017?

If you’ve missed this piece, your plans and goals will likely start to feel challenging to you, a bit like slogging through thick mud. You’re capable of achieving your dreams, but you’re going to have to work really, really hard for them, and in the end you might not even feel that happy on the journey that is taking you there.

Here’s a little reminder: Your life is meant to feel GOOD! Not just when you arrive, or when you’ve achieved that goal, or when you’ve met your deadline or fulfilled that responsibility. The journey is meant to feel good to you, too!

So, here are three questions to assist you in making certain that your 2017 is really on track to be your most amazing, intoxicating, and happy year yet!

1. What is most important to you at this time in your life? (Some examples: spending time with family; focusing on your career; elevating your health; deep diving into a relationship; having a baby, or…?)

2. What do you deeply desire to experience this year? (Some examples: travel to a particular place; falling in love; expressing yourself in a new way through art or dance or a public speaking course; feeling really beautiful and confident in your body, or…?)

3. What do you want 2017 to be about for you? (Is this a breakthrough year for you in your business or career or finances? Is this a year of reflection? Is this a year of much-needed healing and recovery? Is it a year of re-invention? Or…?)

It’s important that you take the time NOW to get clear on your answers to these questions because January is the month that sets the tone and trajectory for the frist six months of the year.

Why not make certain that your year is off to an amazing start, and that you’ve incorporated the concept of soulful luxury into all that you’re doing?

Make this the year where you do things differently, where the journey is just as delicious as the destination, and where you let go of that old paradigm that says “No pain, no gain”!
