Alignment


Have you ever felt like you were stuck in a situation where whatever decision you made would be a wrong decision?


The concept of alignment is very often unappreciated in our daily lives. We go about on our daily routines, and allowing the people around us and the society to dictate our lives, and slowly, because there are so many forces pushing and pulling us in so many directions, we lose alignment of our spirit, soul and body. This is when we feel like we're 'stuck' or 'trapped' in our circumstances and situations, unable to get out. Truth is, we're not really 'stuck', we've just lost alignment, and the solution for getting ourselves 'unstuck' again is just to re-align ourselves.


So how do we re-align ourselves? Re-alignment really should be an ongoing process. To re-align ourselves, we need to constantly evaluate who we are, what values we hold on to, and whator who are the most important things in our lives. We rank these things according to their importance to us, and then adjust our lives so we divide time according to the order of importance. That usually means making changes in our lives, cutting some activities out from our lives altogether, adding new ones; breaking off friendships, making new ones; etc etc. Remember, the trick is to re-evaluate our values AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE, because we're living things, we are not constant, we are always undergoing change, physically, emotionally, mentally, spiritually.


Have you already embarked on the journey of re-alignment?
