ROCK thru to Inner Alignment: Finding Balance in Chaos
ABUNDANT LIVING SERIES
by Lee Havenga | April 11, 2024
The 2024 Great North American Eclipse, with its perfectly aligned sun and moon, reminds us of how beautiful and magical synchronicity can be. Unfortunately, most of us have experienced times when the opposite occurs — askew with overwhelm, self-doubt, and a sense of lost purpose when we’re not in alignment with ourselves.
When I feel unbalanced by work stress and personal responsibilities, I apply the ROCK thru principles to reconnect with my core values and goals to recenter. Taking Ownership and making a Connection to what truly matters is transformative, allowing me to reclaim clarity and calm. This helps me to find my rhythm again and aligns my actions with what I value most, leading to a more fulfilling life.
That’s where the magic of realignment comes in. It’s about returning to yourself and reuniting with what you know to be good and true. In this next Abundant Living series article, we’ll dive into a practical way to reconnect to core beliefs so you can experience more inner alignment.
“If you live in a past dream, you don’t enjoy what is happening right now because you will always wish it to be different than it is.”
~ Don Miguel Ruiz
CONNECTION
Apply it
A technique from Don Miguel Ruiz’s book “The Four Agreements” that fosters self-connection and alignment is embracing the first agreement: “Be impeccable with your word.” This agreement emphasizes the power of spoken and written language and encourages individuals to use their words with integrity and truthfulness.
Aligning our thoughts, speech, and actions by being impeccable with our words leads to a stronger sense of self-connection. Here’s how to apply this technique:
- Start by being mindful of the words we speak and write.
- Practice speaking honestly and authentically.
- Avoid gossip, lies, and negative self-talk.
Practicing the first agreement also involves being aware of how words can impact oneself and others. Ruiz encourages individuals to choose words that uplift and empower themselves and those around them. Through this practice, we can enhance our self-connection and create a positive and harmonious environment in our relationships and interactions.
Remember the power of being impeccable with our words as you navigate moments of self-misalignment. Let’s ROCK thru by making a Connection to our authentic selves by using words that boost ourselves and others.
