What Does It Mean to Be and Feel Fully Alive?

Inside: When death finds you, may it find you fully alive.

There’s an African Proverb that goes like this “When death finds you, may it find you alive.”

What does it mean for me to be and feel fully alive? What does it look, sound, and feel like today? This week? This year? In this season of my life? This is what I want to explore with you today.

what’s it like in your body and life when you feel fully alive?

I’ve been thinking about this a lot – am I living fully alive? What does this look, sound, feel like in my body and life? As I was pondering this morning, these 6 characteristics came up for me (I expand upon them in the conversation).

I feel fully alive when…

  1. I allow myself to feel.
  2. I pause between impulse and response.
  3. I am present in my day-to-day.
  4. I show up as my True Self and walk out my values.
  5. I honour my true capacity and do my own healing work/pour in.
  6. I flex and stay open to the wisdom and beauty of each new season.
6 characteristics in my body and life when I feel fully alive.
