Oakley hears it all the time in her practice working with young adults: “How do I know which choice to make?” For many college graduates, the transition into adulthood can leave them feeling disappointed and directionless. Regardless of age, people often look outside themselves for guidance on difficult decisions, especially those that impact jobs and careers. In this episode, Oakley offers a valuable tool for connecting with the internal guidance system available to everyone that always points to true North.
Through mindfulness practices, North Star work asks the individual to connect with the love-based emotion they want to experience such as joy, peace, passion, etc. That feeling becomes their North Star. They then activate that feeling by visualizing people, places, and experiences that make the feeling come alive in their body. Through consistent practice, the body becomes fine-tuned to what does and doesn’t resonate with it. In this way, a person can change their brain chemistry and begin attracting opportunities that align with their North Star.
