What Even Is Alignment?

I’ve been on a mission to make the word “alignment” a thing. But chances are you’ve only heard it at a mechanic, a chiropractor, or a yoga class. So we’ve got some leg work to do.

Alignment is when the life you’re living actually feels like yours. It’s not the life you thought you should want, or the life that looks good on paper. It’s the life that fits the person you actually are right now.

It might be hard for you to visualise what this looks like, so let me paint a picture.

It’s Tuesday morning, your alarm goes off. You feel genuinely excited about the day ahead — you’ve got things to create, places to be. You get to go about your mission and it feels right.

You dress how you feel. You’re feeling boss babe energy so you go the wide legged pant with a band tee, plus your favourite kicks. You look and feel amazing.

Your commute to work is fun — listening to your go-to playlist that lifts your energy. Singing along is a must.

At work you’re on the ball. Sharing your ideas, laughing with colleagues, focussed on your role and vision. You don’t censor yourself because you feel confident in what you have to say and how you say it.

You come home with your heart full and connect in with the fam. You’re fully present with them, listening to their stories from the day, joking around. Purely enjoying each other’s company.

If you’re feeling energetic you do some exercise or movement that’s just for you. You listen to what your body needs and you honour it.

Before you go to bed, you feel content and grateful. You know you’re on the right path and that everything is flowing easily. You fall asleep peacefully knowing that you get to live another full day tomorrow — and that’s pretty bloody exciting.

What fantasy land is this? (You may ask).

It’s the fantasy land I live in (minus the commute into work and the colleagues etc). And I genuinely promise you — this is possible for you too.

If your truest, most ideal and aligned life was a movie, what would be happening? How would it look for you? Doesn’t need to look like mine, chances are it doesn’t… and that’s a good thing. But can you start to envision what your ideal day looks like?

If not, try to tap into how it would FEEL — that’s actually more important than the vision.

Then go one step further. How can you start feeling that way now? Not when you have accomplished the things that you’ve dreamed of… literally NOW.

The more you tap into the feeling, the more things start to shift. You find clarity as to what your aligned life could look like. You start making decisions that bring you more of that feeling. And your life, almost by some sort of miracle, starts shifting.

I know this, because I’ve lived it. And I’ve witnessed it in the women that I work with.

So what would your most aligned Tuesday look like?
