Before You Do Anything, Do This First

Today I'd love to share with you a really important aspect to navigating the human experience as the spiritual, energetic being that you are. It is one of those things that can make or break not only what you are attracting into your experience, but how you experience every single thing in your life (i.e. in a good, positive, flowing way or a difficult, full of obstacles and resistance sort of way). This aspect is often referred to as "lining up your energy," or as I like to call it, "get into Alignment and then..."

Because we are taught and conditioned to react to life vs. respond to life, to push forward and "make things happen," most people don’t take the time to line up their energy (i.e. thoughts, feelings, intentions) before diving into a task, project or segment of their day, moving into it from an unconscious, autopilot place or just crossing their fingers things will work to their benefit. As a result, you typically find yourself spending most of your time and energy on damage control or recovering to a more solid place after you've been distracted or even rocked by whatever happened. That's because, vibrationally speaking, the approach we've been taught doesn't make sense. 

When we’re focused on the problem and the feeling of being stuck, scared, or in a state of lack, we are vibrating so low that we literally don’t have access to the resources, ideas, solutions, clarity, drive, etc. that we need to move through any given thing with the grace, ease and success we desire. In other words, the vibration we are practicing when we are reacting or just plowing forward does not match the vibration of the outcome we want, so it literally can't happen. 

The key to consciously creating the best possible experience and outcome every single time? Take the time to line up your energy first, or put another way, feel good FIRST and THEN proceed with your actions. This puts you in a state of allowing, where everything you want and need can come to you more easily, and you can access your best, highest Self. 

Seriously, practice this approach with any sort of consistency and it's a huge game-changer.

So your task must be to first get into a higher state of energy, a higher vibration, where you can once again access what you need. This can be done in a variety of ways, as I've covered before, such as taking a few minutes to focus on positive aspects and things you appreciate/feel grateful for before diving in, or closing your eyes and meditating briefly or taking some slow, full intentional deep breaths. It can also look like going outside to get some fresh air and allowing yourself to be present as you take in the sights, smells, sounds, and feelings. Heck, you could do some jumping jacks first and that would do the trick, triggering your brain to release some happy chemicals to help you feel good.

Whatever it looks like, the key is to remember to actually do it, and visual, physical reminders are a great way to ensure that happens. So write down the words "Get into Alignment and Then..." or "Feel Good First and Then..." or even "Remember to line up your energy!" on a piece of paper, at the top of your calendar or as a screensaver on your phone or computer - whatever works! Eventually, this will become habit and you'll start to really see and experience what it means to be a conscious co-creator.
