reframe your job to be a spiritual practice

make your job work for ⋆. ̊ You ⋆. ̊

I am a server who is building a spiritual coaching practice. My dream job is to help women become exactly who they want to become through neuroscience and spirituality. I do not view my serving job as separate from my purpose because it is not. I make my serving job work for me. Every interaction is a chance for me understand reality better. Every behavior I observe is insight. Every second of every day is an opportunity for my frameworks to get clearer. Every trigger is an opportunity for me to understand myself better.

When you are someone who knows her purpose or at least knows that she wants her life to be an expression of her soul- your number one priority should be protecting and channeling your energy. Where we place our energy we place our life. Now.. a common limitation to protecting your energy is the unfortunate slight of needing to have a job. Being an adult in America in 2026 means you must have a source of income. To buy things. To live. So you can live through the time period that it takes to build the life you actually want.

This is not something that can be escaped or bypassed. Even selling feet pics is a lot of work.

Being in the pursuit of purpose means there will be a building process. There is no such thing as an unrealistic goal, only unrealistic timelines. Custom building a life tailored to you takes time. In this timeframe, where you are simultaneously creating the new life while having to continue participating in the current life, you must focus on intention. Intention in every moment. Because every moment is an opportunity to either pull your manifestation closer or push it further away.

Think of it as two frequencies. There is a frequency of what you want your life to feel like vs the frequency of what you don’t want your life to feel like. For me the frequency of the life I want is how I feel when I am learning or teaching interesting material. When I am reading and writing and creating and socializing in meaningful ways. When I am expressing myself. It feels absolutely blissful. Free. Expanded. Light.

This is the frequency of my manifestation.

The frequency of what I don’t want my life to feel like is very different. It is the frequency of having to grind it out. Having to do something I don’t want to do. Being overworked and underpaid. It feels heavy. Frustrating. Grating.

If you get too caught up in what you are doing to get to where you want to be going, you will lose sight of the manifestation. Keep your eye on the prize. Don’t drop the frequency.

Get back your energy by being the gatekeeper of your mind. When you have control of your mind, you have agency over every ounce of your energy. The way I keep agency over my mind while at my job is treating it like a spiritual practice.

Alchemizing everything that could lower my frequency into something that doesn’t.

I know who I am, but can I uphold this self- concept under every circumstance? You are only as spiritually centered as your ability to stay yourSelf in every situation. When you view everyday as an opportunity to be as authentic to yourself as possible, you have agency again.

I aim to live every second of my life, even at my job, as the deepest expression of my soul. The pull from my ego gets loud. I mess up a lot. It is uncomfortable to be authentic. It is easier to play the ego game, but living from the soul invites others to do the same.

My mind is mine (therefore my life is mine) because nothing from the outside can change the way that I view myself. It is not easy, but I remind myself that my ability to be the best server has nothing to do with who I am. I am not interested in being the best server, I am interested in being the best version of my soul SELF. So when I catch myself getting upset because I messed something up or customer or manager is upset with me, I remind myself that this is not who I am. I do not care if I mess up at work. I do not care if a random person is mad at me because they didn’t like their cocktail. Because my job is not my life. My job is 1.) the way I am currently making money and 2.) a way that I get to experience push back on my current self-concept so that I can get better at embedding into the reality that I actually want.

When you reframe your job as something that is teaching you how to be a better creative, life gets a lot more fun.

And that’s how life should be, fun.
