What the actual fuck is alignment?
Y’all, when I first got into this realm and I kept hearing this word, I was pissed.
Everyone seemed to be “always in alignment” and had it all figured out— except for me.
I kept hearing this go around:
“Just take aligned action!”
“Just work from a place of alignment!”
“I can’t tell you what alignment is for you, you’ll just know!”
“Money will abundantly flow to you when you’re aligned!”
What a load of bullshit.
I kept reading about alignment.
I kept hearing about alignment.
I kept seeing how everyone made $50k months from being “in alignment.”
BUT NOBODY COULD TELL ME WHAT THE FUCK ALIGNMENT ACTUALLY WAS.
Let’s break it down, shall we?
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴 𝘯𝘰𝘵:
Regurgitating everything else you see on the internet because it made another coach money.
Doing what your mom tells you because she thinks it’s the best (i.e. the safest 🤔) move.
Calling 5 of your friends to ask what you should do because you’re seeking validation that your decision is the right one (ha, this was me like, my whole life).
𝘞𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵 𝘪𝘴:
Doing the thing that feels exciting to you.
Following what feels good to you.
Thinking about doing something and feeling like a little kid awaiting Christmas morning.
My “𝘧𝘪𝘯𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘨𝘯𝘮𝘦𝘯𝘵” rule:
If it feels expansive to you? It’s aligned.
If it feels draining to you? It’s not aligned.
That’s it!
It’s not stressful.
It’s not hard.
It’s not everything we’re making it out to be.
Alignment is simply following the good feeling thought.
Then taking action from that good feeling place.
Don’t get tripped up about the words you see on the internet, or what you see everyone else doing.
Trust me, that shit doesn’t work (I tried it 🤦🏼♀️).
Just ask yourself— what sounds fun to me?
Then do more of that.
Rooting for you!
XO,
