I’m a soul searcher (as most of you already know) I thrive on results and I’m driven by a constant need of achieving balance. Meaning I do most of the hard work for you when it comes to figuring out what like minded individuals need to achieve this state. If you think about your life right now in this very moment you can probably think of a handful of things that you like and dislike about it but I want you to like all aspects of your life! I wanted to shed light on one very important message today and that is you are totally in control. You’re in control of where you are. Don’t like it, change it (you’re not a tree).

There is no blame game to be had here. I don’t subscribe to that and you shouldn’t either here’s why. You may not have control over what happens to you in life but you do have control over how you react to it. With that said we all have a set of rituals, whether you call it a ritual or routine, we all have a way of doing something or more importantly NOT doing something. It’s important to remember that a small action no matter how small repeated over and over again leads to big results or lack of results. Lack of action shows a lack of results. I’m “working on it” doesn’t cut it when your behavior doesn’t match up.

If you’ve been following me for a while you know a huge part of my role as an online influencer isn’t just to introduce you to the latest and greatest fashion or products but it’s to evoke feeling and innovation by sharing how to live life skillfully. The secret to living is giving and what I want to give to each and every one of my subscribers, followers, readers listeners is this.

Change

I want to influence you to want change. That is my gift to you and this world. I want you to want change whether that be change for yourself, change for the people around you or change for the world you live in. 

So how did I come to that decision? Well I had a ritual. By definition a ritual is a series of actions or a type of behavior that is regularly followed by someone. My ritual is simple. It’s seeking balance daily. I made it part of my daily ritual to seek and find balance in one way or another so I could provide clarity for myself and essentially provide that clarity for you. Whether clarity shows itself in an intense self-care session, always speaking my truth or taking time away from people and things that dampen my light, it’s my rituals that are my top priority which helps me make the decisions I do on a daily basis.

It just goes to show that what you focus on you can achieve. There is no cap on what you can achieve if you just put in the right amount of focus.

It doesn’t have to be forever. If you have a daunting goal. Break it down into smaller rituals. It doesn’t have to be I’m giving up sweets forever, with the right ritual it turns into I’m giving up sweets today, repeat that everyday and before you know it you’ve given up sweets for a week, month heck even year.

Without a ritual we can feel lost. When we take a look at last week, last month, last year it’s easy to play the blame game and say, I didn’t get this done because I was too tired, too stressed, so and so didn’t do this, so and so required this of me and before we know it we let our lives fly by us all the while reflecting on what we didn’t achieve instead of looking at the attempts we made to achieve our goals.

Put some action behind those wishes. That’s my challenge for you this week. I’d like you to write out your new ritual. If you’re feeling lost or overwhelmed this is step one. Look inside yourself and think about what you need this very moment in life. Want $10,000, alright what’s your ritual to get that. Apply for a new job? Start a side hustle? Pick up an extra gig? If you’re already feeling aligned in one area of your life I want to challenge you get aligned in another area! Pick up that pen or pencil my friend!

From here on out make sure your rituals are aligned with what you want to achieve and remember, alignment is the new hustle.

To find out my exact morning routine to start everyday with a good mindset head on over to my podcast and give this episode a listen! You can also subscribe on iTunes, search “Alignment is the New Hustle” and never miss an episode. I post twice a month so this gives each of my listeners time to put this into practice.
