Take a moment right now. Place your hand on your heart, take three conscious breaths, and ask yourself: "What part of me most needs love and attention today?"
If you have ever felt like you are going through the motions of life rather than truly living it—if you have sensed there is something deeper calling to you beneath the daily responsibilities and persistent thoughts—you are not alone. Many of us, especially in midlife, find ourselves asking: "Is this all there is?"
The answer is a resounding no. But discovering what is missing and where to focus your energy requires honest self-reflection and a willingness to look inward with compassion.
In the ancient Sanskrit tradition, "chit" refers to pure consciousness—the awareness that exists beneath our thoughts, beyond our emotions, and at the core of our being. Living The Chit Life means awakening to this consciousness and allowing it to infuse every aspect of your existence.
Your consciousness expresses itself through seven interconnected elements, each carrying its own inner state and wisdom:
❤️ Physical (leaning into Safety) - Your foundation of groundedness and presence in your body
🧡 Emotional (leaning into Aliveness) - Your capacity for feeling and flowing with life's energy
💛 Identity (leaning into Dignity) - Your sense of inherent worth beyond external validation
💚 Relationships (leaning into Humbleness) - Your ability to connect authentically with others
🩵 Communication (leaning into Authenticity) - Your voice and genuine self-expression
💙 Intuition (leaning into Nobility) - Your inner wisdom and guidance system
💜 Spiritual (leaning into Abundance) - Your connection to something greater than yourself
When these elements are balanced and flowing, you experience what many describe as "coming alive"—that sense of being fully present, deeply connected, and authentically expressed. But when one or more elements are neglected, blocked, or underdeveloped, life can feel constrained, overwhelming, or somehow "off."
Perhaps you have noticed…
Your body feels tense or disconnected, like you are living from the neck up.
Emotions feel either overwhelming or strangely absent.
You are seeking validation from others while your inner voice grows quieter.
Relationships feel surface-level or draining rather than nourishing.
You hold back your truth, saying what others want to hear.
You dismiss your gut feelings in favor of "logical" choices that do not feel right.
Despite external success, you feel an inexplicable emptiness.
These are not character flaws or signs of failure—they are invitations. Your inner wisdom is pointing toward areas that are ready for attention, healing, and growth.
One of the greatest obstacles to personal transformation is not knowing where to start. We sense something needs to change, but the vastness of "self-improvement" can feel overwhelming. Should you focus on meditation? Therapy? Better boundaries? Career changes? Health routines?
The truth is, authentic transformation happens most efficiently when you address what is most ready for attention in this moment. Your consciousness has its own organic timing and wisdom about what is ripe for development.
When you honor what is calling for attention now…
Energy flows more easily because you are working with natural readiness rather than forcing change.
Progress feels more sustainable because it builds on existing strengths.
Motivation remains strong because you are addressing what genuinely matters to you.
Other areas often improve spontaneously as blocked energy begins to flow.
Consider Sarah, a successful marketing executive who discovered through self-assessment that her Communication element needed the most attention. For years, she had been saying "yes" to everything while her authentic voice grew weaker. She felt increasingly disconnected from herself and frustrated in her relationships.
When Sarah began focusing specifically on authentic expression—starting with small, honest communications about her preferences and feelings—everything shifted. Her relationships deepened. Her work became more fulfilling as she began contributing her genuine insights. Even her physical tension decreased as she stopped carrying the stress of unexpressed truth.
Or Mark, who realized his Physical element was calling for attention. Years of overriding his body's signals had left him feeling anxious and disconnected. By beginning with simple presence practices—feeling his feet on the ground, taking conscious breaths, honoring his need for rest—he rediscovered a sense of safety and groundedness that transformed his approach to everything else.
What element of your being is most ready for love and attention?
You do not have to guess or try to figure this out through analysis alone. Your inner wisdom already knows. Sometimes it whispers through physical sensations—tension, fatigue, or restlessness. Sometimes it speaks through emotions—recurring frustration, emptiness, or longing. Often it appears in the patterns you notice in your relationships, work, or daily experiences.
Take The Chit Quiz (click here) to discover which of the seven elements is calling for your attention most clearly right now.
This is not about identifying what is "wrong" with you—it is about recognizing what is ready to flourish. It is about honoring the part of yourself that has been patiently waiting for your conscious attention and care.
When you know which element needs your focus, you can…
Direct your energy efficiently rather than scattering efforts across multiple areas.
Work with your natural rhythms instead of forcing change through willpower alone.
Experience faster, more sustainable progress because you are addressing what is most ready.
Feel immediate relevance as practices directly address your current life challenges.
Build momentum that naturally extends to other areas of your life.
The journey to conscious living does not require dramatic life changes or perfect circumstances. It begins exactly where you are, with honest recognition of what is ready for attention.
Discover which element is calling to you and take the first step toward a more conscious, authentic, and fulfilling way of living.
Your consciousness has been waiting patiently for this recognition. The question is not whether you are ready to grow—you would not be reading this if you were not. The question is: which part of you is most ready to come alive?
Your authentic life is calling. Will you answer?
Namaste, my Friend 🙏
