Aligned Action
Today, we’re diving deep into a topic that's crucial for anyone on the journey of manifesting their dream life: aligned action.
Why is aligned action so important? How can we find alignment in our lives to create powerful shifts? And what do we do when we feel completely blocked from moving forward? Let’s unravel these questions and get you on the path to living your best life.
Why Aligned Action Matters
One of my favorite quotes is from J. Cole: “The good news is you came a long way; the bad news is you went the wrong way.” We often hustle and work hard without reflecting on whether we’re heading in the right direction. It's better to stop and reassess than to persist in the wrong direction. Sometimes, we need a season of complete rest to reset and realign with who we are becoming.
Aligned action means taking steps that are in harmony with our true selves, our values, and our goals. It’s not just about being busy but about being purposeful and effective. When our actions align with our deepest desires and intentions, we create more significant and lasting change.
Finding Alignment in Your Life
If you’re feeling lost, unmotivated, or as if you’re living the same day over and over again, this episode is for you. We teach what we most need to learn, and finding aligned action is something I’ve personally struggled with. As a manifesting generator in human design, I need to respond to problems rather than initiate them. Getting familiar with your human design can be incredibly helpful in understanding how you best take action.
So, how do we find alignment? Here are a few steps to consider:
Identify Your Strong “Why”: A powerful “why” fuels your motivation and perseverance. If your “why” is connected to external validation, like praise from others, you’re more likely to feel discouraged when faced with criticism. Instead, find a deeper purpose that resonates with you personally. For example, I once advised someone who was struggling with negativity about their TikTok series on spirituality to reconnect with their core purpose. They were doing it for a higher reason, to deepen their connection with God, not just for external approval. When you align with a higher purpose, external opinions become less significant.
Connect with Your Heart Chakra: Your heart chakra acts as a bridge between your lower and higher energy centers. When it’s blocked, you might struggle to access higher dimensions of awareness and feel disconnected. Open your heart chakra through meditation and healing practices to clear out any dense or negative energy.
Trust Your Gut: Your intuition often knows more than your rational mind. As a manifesting generator, I rely on my gut reaction to guide me. If something feels right, trust it. If it feels off, listen to that as well. Your gut can be a powerful tool for making decisions and finding alignment.
Solve Problems, Don’t Just Seek Comfort: Stagnation often arises from comfort and lack of urgency. If you’re too comfortable, you might not feel motivated to change. Push yourself into challenging situations to grow. Successful people like Sarah Blakely, who created Spanx, saw a common problem and solved it, leading to great success. Ask yourself what problems you can solve with your unique skills and passions.
Embrace Creativity Over Consumption: If you find yourself consuming more than creating, it’s time to shift gears. Creating allows you to express your unique perspective and grow personally. When you’re constantly consuming, you may lose touch with your intuition and creativity. Reflect on your strengths and how you can use them to contribute to the world.
Address Stagnation: If you’re feeling stagnant, it might be because you lack a significant problem or challenge to solve. Comfort can be a dream killer. Aim to step out of your comfort zone and engage in activities that push you to grow.
Practical Steps to Move Forward
Reassess Your Direction: Take a step back and evaluate if you’re moving in the right direction. Sometimes, it’s necessary to stop and recalibrate.
Reconnect with Your Purpose: Reflect on your deeper motivations and ensure they align with your actions.
Meditate and Heal: Work on opening your heart chakra and clearing any negative energy from your aura.
Listen to Your Intuition: Trust your gut feelings about decisions and actions.
Challenge Yourself: Seek out new problems to solve and push yourself beyond comfort.
Create: Focus on expressing your creativity and unique perspective.
Remember, aligned action isn’t about rushing or forcing things but about moving in harmony with your true self and purpose.
When you align your actions with your deepest desires and values, you’ll find more fulfillment and success in your journey.
