Recently, when I was living a "less than perfect" period in my life, I began to question what this whole alignment thing was all about. I wanted to know how to get what I wanted and how to stay there. I wanted to quit the roller coaster, and get the information I needed to create my perfect life. Have you ever felt the same?
More and more we hear about how important it is to be in alignment with what we want to create in our lives. There are books, movies and techniques designed to help us reach our goals and create the life we desire. They all talk about getting aligned with our intentions. But what does being in alignment really mean? Maybe you have a general idea, but do you really understand how being in alignment can help you? I know I didn't, until I spent some time boiling the water out of a lot of complicated information, and found a simple way to understand the concept.
Being in alignment is simply a period when all of your thoughts, intentions, and actions are focused on the same thing.
When you are in alignment, things move forward effortlessly. Everything seems to "click", you meet the perfect people, find the perfect resources, good things happen, and you know that you are getting closer to your goals.
Sounds perfect right? The problem comes when you aren't getting what you want, and you don't know why. Without exception, if things aren't "clicking", you can be sure that you are out of alignment in some way. But how do you know for sure?
A simple test to determine if you are in alignment is to ask yourself if your thoughts, interactions and activities move you forward or hold you back? If they are holding you back, you aren't in alignment. If you are moving effortlessly toward your goals, then you. It's really that simple.
Think about it like this, each and every day we make choices as to what we think about, who we hang around with and what we do. But did you know that even these little choices can really change the direction that your life is headed. So the next time you are "off", and in need of an "adjustment", I suggest that you do the following:
Focus your energy in a positive way
Take a moment and concentrate on what it is that you want to create in your life
Ask yourself if your feelings support your dreams
Evaluate your thoughts and actions; determine what is working, and what isn't
Shift your focus from what isn't working to what you want to happen
Choose to take the necessary actions to get back on track and moving forward again
Remember, that we become what we think about, and mirror the actions of those around us. To be in alignment, we have to choose actions that feel right, and be committed to executing them consistently.
So the next time you are frustrated with life, and not enjoying what is happening, look around and ask yourself if what you are doing is in alignment with who you are and what you want out of life, or if it is taking you to a place you don't want to be.
