274: Why Being Out Of "Alignment" Helps You

Published: Sept. 27, 2018, 8 a.m.

I\u2019m fresh off a mastermind call with my closest sister friends and I\u2019ve come to the realization that it\u2019s OK to be a walking, breathing contradiction. Typically, when it comes to being in alignment, we\u2019ve always talked about lining it up with our true purpose or highest potential. While I still believe this is a part of it, I also think a bigger part of it is being aligned with your truth in the present moment.\n \xa0\n In order to feel this \u201ctruth\u201d though you have to sometimes be out of alignment and feel those feelings, too. Sometimes this means feelings of darkness and ugliness or worry and insecurity. It\u2019s super important though that we not stay in these feelings too long. Acknowledge them and that you feel out of alignment, and make the conscious choice to leave that dark place (or whatever emotion you\u2019re feeling) when the time is right. Remember that this is all a part of the human experience and determine if there is something you could do to make yourself feel better.\n \xa0\n Admittedly, I\u2019m in a bit of a dark season right now. I have a ton of amazing things happening in my life now, but there\u2019s this nagging voice in the back of my head that tells me I need to set some more goals and accomplish more. I\u2019m in a season where I need to find self-worthiness without having a ton of goals to prove that I am. Can anyone relate?\n \xa0\n Have I navigated my way through this particular season yet? No \u2013 I\u2019m still working through it. So, right now I\u2019m giving myself grace and allowing myself to feel all the feels. I\u2019m choosing healthy outlets such as walks, nourishing foods and yes, sometimes crying it out, because choosing a downward spiral isn\u2019t going to serve me in the long run. I\u2019m committing to move forward\u2026period.\n \xa0\n I hope this helps you if you\u2019re also going through a similar season. Continue to nurture yourself and one day, when things clear, you\u2019ll realize that it was all meant to help you keep in alignment with your true purpose.\n \xa0\n --\n In This Episode Lori talks about:\n \xa0\n Redefining what alignment means\n Why your value shouldn\u2019t be tied to your accomplishments\n The seasons of life\n \xa0\n \xa0\n Resources:\n \xa0\n Enrollment for Chris and I\u2019s life eCourse Aligned closes today (Sept. 27, 2018)!
