Ep 177: Deciding on Purpose

from Bloom Your Mind · host Marie McDonald

In this episode, Marie unpacks one of the most powerful habits a person can build: deciding on purpose and ahead of time. She kicks things off with a behind-the-scenes look at the summer bucket list she just built with her family — and why that one ritual is setting them up for a collaborative, empowered, unforgettable summer where they actually get to know each other better and make real decisions about how to spend the moments of their precious life together. From there, she shares why her recent Time Whispering class is getting rave reviews (spoiler: it's the deciding on purpose ahead of time of it all), and then walks through exactly how this practice changes everything — from how you eat and move, to how you build your career, to how you show up in your relationships, to how much of your life you actually feel present for.What You'll LearnWhy "in the moment brain" is reactive, negativity-biased, and almost always defaults to what's easiestHow deciding ahead of time lets you pull from your wisest mind — the one that actually has your best interest at heartWhy goals are never really about accomplishing the goal — they're about who you become as you reach for themA repeatable process for making decisions, recommitting to them, and moving through the obstacles that show up along the wayThe truth that you're always deciding — either on purpose from your highest mind, or by default in reaction to whatever life throws at youHow to apply this to the real, daily places it matters most: diet and exercise, career, relationships, and time with the people you loveMentioned in This EpisodeTime Whispering Course — the recent class is getting rave reviews because it puts this exact principle into practice.
