Living a Life Of Inspiration

by: Jaclyn Shaw
Blocked energy and bouts of negativity can have crippling effects or at the very least lead to feelings of uneasiness and panic. Thanks to Source (my personal word for God), I have been successful at unblocking by dedicating myself to some activities that exhibit reverence for life.

What does that mean? Well, I came up with my own list of 20 ways to connect with Life Force (Source) and feel infinitely inspired and empowered because of it. When I do these things, I keep in mind why I am doing them.
With a strong intentionality, I practice the following at my own pace. Hope you enjoy my suggestions! Here goes:
