The Power of Prayer with Cary Jack

The Happy Hustle Podcast

Have you ever wondered how to truly balance the hustle with a deeper sense of purpose? Today, I'm diving into something a bit different than our usual Happy Hustlin' tips, but trust me, it's equally important. We're talking about working like it's up to you, but praying like it's up to God.

And I want to share with you a practice that's been a game-changer for me: chilling in the still, or as I like to call it, C.I.T.S. It's not rocket science, but it just might help you connect to a higher power, bringing a new level of mindfulness to your spiritual journey. And here's why this is so on-brand for us Happy Hustlers: connecting to a higher power is one of the 10 alignments of being a Happy Hustler.

Whether you call it God, Buddha, Allah, or any name you resonate with, having a higher power in the picture can help you achieve your dream reality.

Here's how my C.I.T.S. prayer practice works:

Get Grounded: Start by finding a quiet space where you can be still. This might mean getting down on your knees, crossing your hands, or placing a hand over your heart. Whatever feels right for you.

Express Gratitude: Take a moment to thank your higher power for the blessings in your life. Whether it's the beautiful weather, your health, or your loved ones, expressing gratitude opens your heart.

Seek Guidance: Ask for wisdom and direction. How can you serve at your highest capacity? What steps should you take next? Then, just listen. Allow yourself to be still and open to the answers.

Breathe and Reflect: Breathe deeply—60 breaths in through the nose and out through the mouth can transform your state. Reflect on the guidance you've received and be open to follow-up questions if needed.

Now, here's the kicker: after you've connected spiritually, it's time to work like it's up to you. Take action, hold yourself accountable, and hustle with purpose. The magic happens when you blend this spiritual practice with relentless effort.

I know this might feel a bit out of left field, especially if you're not typically religious. But remember, I'm all about being spiritual, not necessarily religious. My own journey has taken me to Catholic churches, Jewish temples, Buddhist practices, and more. What's important is finding what resonates with you and integrating it into your life.
