How do you know? It feels aligned. Grounded. Authentically you. It flows. It doesn\u2019t necessarily feel comfortable because there\u2019s a lot of resistance coming from the outside to take us away from what truly matters inside.<\/p>\n<p>Getting aligned with the real you is not easy. There\u2019s expectations of us. There\u2019s beliefs that have been passed down from your family (eg. what constitutes success), which may no longer serve you. There\u2019s your DNA, and programming that has you react in ways you may not be proud of. For me, it\u2019s whenever I need to help my daughters with homework \u2014 wow, does my inner critic come out in full force I have to work hard to tame!<\/p>\n<p>So where is your point of power to get aligned?<\/p>\n<p>Simple: it\u2019s about having that little faith in something bigger \u2013 not out there, but in here. A Creative Universal Force existing within you.<\/p>\n<p>A little book called \u201cthe Impersonal Life\u201d came my way recently, and it shares this idea in the best way I\u2019ve read. It\u2019s when we take things personally that we\u2019ve become disconnected from this alignment to the \u201cDivine\u201d within.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cWhen you can know that I AM Consciousness within you, <am> one with the consciousness of all animate and inaminate matter, and that It\u2019s will is one with your will, which is My Will, and that all your desires are My Desires, then will you begin to know and feel Me within, and will acknowledge the Power and Glory of My Idea, which is eternally expressing Itself Impersonally through you.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I AM statements\u00a0are so powerful. Why is that?\u00a0I AM beautiful. \u00a0I AM not good enough. Notice if these\u00a0feel hard or easy to <em>think<\/em>. \u00a0What\u2019s causing any resistance to the self-love given you at birth \u2013 that you deserve to be loved with no conditions? Your misalignment with this Higher Consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>If this makes sense, this lesson may help further clarify \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thecorrectingtime.org\/ct-messages\/discover-what-remains\">What Remains<\/a>\u201c..this may not resonate with you, but seeing \u201c11:11\u201d again when I started examining my thoughts this way was a consistent\u00a0sign\u00a0calling me to have a little more faith.<\/p>\n<p>HOW to think to\u00a0become\u00a0aligned at a\u00a0soul level first requires powerfully examining\u00a0your thoughts, and how you respond to them. Distinguish thoughts of others, with\u00a0those of your ego versus those coming from a Divine Source. It\u2019s a practice of having your \u201cthoughts serve You, instead of your being a slave to them.\u201d (Joseph Benner)<\/p>\n<p>I was clueless to being aligned with the real me for most of my life, (though I was happily going along in ignorance). I grew up following expectations that made a lot of sense. My thinking was logical where \u2018the right answers\u2019 were found in education, and knowledge (other people\u2019s thoughts, and ideas). There\u2019s valuable material here, but it\u2019s not as powerful as what\u2019s inside of you to create the relationships you want, which is \u201cwhat remains\u201d that matters most.<\/p>\n<p>You are a creator of your own reality, and the more you become aligned with the Divine Creator within you, the more you get to create!<\/p>\n<p>I first began examining my own thoughts this way when I joined a life coaching group in 2004. I questioned \u201cwhose thoughts are these?\u201d, and \u201cwhat do I really want?\u201d \u201cDoes this really work for me\u201d? I needed to let go of WHY it has to be the way it was. It doesn\u2019t. It\u2019s amazing what we justify, accommodate, and unknowingly settle for. Not anymore. I just needed to examine my own thoughts!<\/p>\n<p>I noticed how we allow people to make us wrong with their right way, and how we make others wrong with our right way. This creates resistant energy within us where we are not aligned, and clear about \u2018what works\u2019 based on what\u2019s important to you.<\/p>\n<p>It blocks the flow of your vibration that naturally brings to you WHO, AND WHAT YOU WANT that aligns with the real you. Otherwise known as The Law of Attraction.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4 Steps to become more aligned with the Real You:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>1) Notice your own resistance of the <strong>4 C\u2019s of Criticism, and Judgment<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Criticizing \u2013 Correcting (treating someone as if broken needing to be fixed) and Convincing (trying to change someone\u2019s mind according to your right way).<\/p>\n<p>Judging \u2013 Controlling (forcing others to follow your way through guilt, intimidation, bribing \u2013 your relative power or influence) a.k.a \u201cmy way or the highway\u201d, and Condemning (name calling, making someone feel inferior, insults)<\/p>\n<p>These 4 C\u2019s\u00a0create an energy resistance within you\u00a0against\u00a0your own alignment.<\/p>\n<p>2) Ask yourself \u201c<strong>Is this working for me according to what matters most to me (your values)?<\/strong>\u201d What is really upsetting or angering me? Is this something you are willing to accept without holding resentment or having a need not met? Dig deep. Whether its being treated with disrespect or needing the house organized so you can feel at peace \u2013 communicate WHAT IS NOT WORKING authentically without sending critical or judgmental energy to someone. Stand up for what matters \u2013 if you don\u2019t, who will?<\/p>\n<p>You can say:<\/p>\n<p>When you choose this way or that behaviour, it has this impact on me, and I feel _________ as opposed to \u201cHow can you _________, or \u201cStop\u2026..<leaving stuff on the floor!> what\u2019s wrong with you?\u201d It\u2019s not so much the words, but the energy you are sending through your words.<\/p>\n<p>If you think \u201cI don\u2019t tell my spouse because he or see won\u2019t understand\u201d \u2013 you are not giving them the opportunity to see you fully, and whatever their authentic reaction can be difficult to face. We don\u2019t want to be disappointed when we share what matters. It\u2019s vulnerable here. But what\u2019s on the other side of your truth \u2013 is their truth. It may not be what you like, but it will give you a new freedom of feeling aligned.<br \/>\n3) <strong>Be the change by connecting with your Sacred Self<\/strong>. What\u2019s sacred is connecting to the part of yourself that is Divine: unconditional love, kindness, compassion, and understanding. The best friend in you \u2013 the mother, and father in you \u2013 that\u2019s the \u201cGod fragment\u201d in you. Your Sacred Self never makes you wrong. Listen to this voice, and you will feel aligned. You will also vibrate at a higher resonance that will attract more of what you want.<\/p>\n<p>4) <strong>Practice Acceptance.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>\u201cAccepting something doesn\u2019t mean you have to like it.\u201d~Oprah<\/em><\/p>\n<p>This practice requires letting go or surrendering any anger, or resentment you are holding against someone \u2013 it\u2019s forgiveness. For yourself, and others. It does not mean condoning anything that goes against your values \u2013 its about managing your resistant energy when that happens! There may be ways you get controlling or reactive \u2013 ask that these ways be taken from you (some of it may be coming from your upbringing\/DNA that is very difficult to overcome on your own). Hand it all over to that higher Divine Consciousness.<\/p>\n<p>Surrendering means \u201cI put my faith in a Friendly Universe that wants my happiness, and will orchestrate things for my highest good.\u201d<br \/>\nBeing aligned is releasing all the resistant energies within you that block the Divine connection with the REAL\u00a0YOU where your Creative Self will emerge, and allow you to create the relationships you truly desire. The strangest part is you won\u2019t even realize you are creating them. Your\u00a0experiences simply validate that you are now aligned.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-4477 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/carolynhidalgo.com\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/YourTask.jpg\" alt=\"YourTask\" width=\"259\" height=\"194\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What feels right for you?
