Authentically Aligned
Rumi
Be Authentic, Build Self Worth & Show up for Yourself
Changing the world, one soul at a time – so within, so without.
Do YOU Have a Conscience?
Do you find yourself in self doubt, having a niggling feeling that plays on your mind at night that you didn’t do the right thing or honour your own values? If yes, then that’s great! You have a conscience!
Sometimes we sell ourselves short by not being true to ourselves & how we do that is to get clear on our values, standards & morals.
BEing Authentically YOU Builds Self Trust
When we act according to our true self we can then build trust with ourselves. When you trust yourself, that builds self esteem, self worth & you can then have conviction & confidence in who you are at the core level which will reverberate through the layers of yourself to the external you & manifest in a confident self assured you.
Integrity – doing the right thing even when nobody is watching.
When Somebody Says to me “but nobody will know” I say ‘but I will know.’
When you do something that isn’t in alignment with your true values this sits on your conscience & can eat away at you on the inside. If you do something in the dark that you know is wrong or your wouldn’t do it in front of others, is it right…?
Ephesians 5:11
Do not do the things that people in darkness do. That brings nothing good. But do good things to show that the things done in darkness are wrong.
We are in a time where all darkness is coming to light… all of the cruel acts that others have been doing behind closed doors are coming out & we see that currently in the media.
Luke 12:2–3
“For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, nor hidden that will not be known. Therefore whatever you have spoken in the dark will be heard in the light, and what you have spoken in the ear in the inner chamber will be proclaimed from the housetops.”
Also, you have to remember that everything is energy, you attract what you are or the lessons you need for you to grow & master certain elements of you.
We are spiritual BEings in a human vehicle that is on a journey of self mastery & ascension.
Exodus 3:15
Where God’s Presence Goes, His Power Flows!
Are You on the Frequency of What You Are Trying to Manifest?
Thinking, feeling & BEing have to be coherent in order to bring about the change you’re wanting to manifest.
So if you want to attract an honest partner who has traditional values & integrity, ask yourself am I truly acting in accordance with my values?
Are you BEing & congruent to the partner you are seeking?
For example, if you were a first year medical student, you would not apply for a role of senior doctor in a hospital. One is unqualified, the other is qualified with years of experience…
Just like if you were an apprentice, you would expect apprentice wages…
When we are trying to BEcome a new version of ourselves, we first have to create that vision within our mind, then believe it & take action toward it… by learning the skill it takes to BE a doctor, wife, mother etc…
Everything is created first in the mind
“If you can see it in your mind, you can hold it in your hand”
Bob Proctor
We All Have Demons We’re Fighting
Be kind to yourself
We are our own worst critics & we all have different lessons, difficulties & areas we need to grow. If we practice being 1% a day better than yesterday, over one month that’s a 30% growth! Amazing compounding, right?
P.s You can do this in any area of your life!
If some days you go backwards, it’s okay! Just allow yourself to get back on track tomorrow.
Practice makes progress – embrace the beauty of imperfection
Self Love
Acknowledging how much you’ve grown & how far you’ve come by practicing this regularly will build self love & a respect for yourself. So ensure to record milestones so you can look back, give yourself little treats & love yourself as the sovereign BEing that YOU are.
Adopting a Sleep Hygiene Routine is Paramount for Balancing Your Whole Life
When you lay in bed at night & your conscience is clean you sleep like a baby. Sleep health is the no.1 fundamental element that has a knock on effect to every other aspect of your BEing.
Sleep disturbance can cause you have an imbalance in cortisol which affects you getting the REM sleep needed for your optimal health.
Cortisol plays a role in getting you to sleep & also waking you up. If this is out of balance it keeps you awake at night as it is high & in the morning it doesn’t wake you up as it’s low.
A cortisol imbalance can also inhibit weight loss, cause fat to store in your abdomen & cause adrenal fatigue. More on this in another article!
Get Clear on Your True Authentic Self
BE authentically YOU
When YOU know who YOU are you’re less likely to waver on boundaries, disrespect & anything that isn’t in alignment with your values & your journey.
By writing down & getting to know yourself it’s easier to say “no, thank you, I don’t tolerate that behaviour, that goes against my moral compass” or “this is in alignment with the kind of relationship I want.”
BE Honest with Yourself & Others
The truth always comes out in the end
Being honest with yourself & with others & being genuine will only do good for you overall. When you’re honest this helps to build trust in relationships & with yourself.
Even if you’ve done something wrong, to admit & acknowledge you’ve made a mistake & hold yourself accountable is not only honourable but will only gain respect.
When I have done something I see as wrong, that’s goes against my moral compass or the values of my relationship, I tell my spouse & I explain where I believe I went wrong & why. When you reason it helps you to understand yourself, to not make that mistake again & to grow in authenticity.
Reason – don’t make excuses
A reason provides an explanation or justification for why something happened, while an excuse attempts to shift blame or avoid responsibility for a negative outcome.
Reasons become excuses when they are used to avoid responsibility.
Acknowledge where you went wrong
Be honest with yourself & others
Be accountable
BE sorry & remorseful by your actions
Words are cheap – if you are making empty promises that you don’t back up with action, are you truly sorry?
Being mostly consistent & having a blip is forgivable
We need to accept that we are imperfect BEings & that we may have set backs time to time. Making changes & progress is key. If you have a blip it’s okay… communication & understanding is paramount, so be sure to communicate & reason with whomever, even if just with yourself.
Forgive your Past Self
We are only alive in the present moment
We are all on a journey, of self discovery, self development & BEing the best version of us. Living in the past or dwelling on things that cannot be changed is a waste of energy, it not only robs you of happiness & peace, it is manifesting more of what you don’t want & sits in your energy lowering your vibration.
Forgiveness of self raises your frequency – be in the vibration of love & above…

BE Authentically YOU – The Age of Aquarius Urges YOU to be Your Authentic Self
Now that we’re in The Age of Aquarius there is no better time to really tap into your authentic YOU.
Unapologetically, authentically YOU…
This will also build self worth, self love & self growth.
It’s okay to BE whatever YOU want to BE, as long as you’re living your true path & it’s not hurting anyone else.
By this I mean for example, if you feel you are gay & it would upset your parents to tell them then this is something you have to do for your souls journey, this is okay. Most parents just want you to be happy.
However, say you’re bisexual & you start a relationship as a heterosexual & omit this information to your partner, this is not right as this may go against their values. It’s important to give people the choice & have integrity.
Why is this important? If someone has traditional values & are straight & want a straight partner, this is their values. So we must respect their choice. Just as you would want someone to respect yours, right?
Treat others as you would want to be treated
Being that you are still here reading my woo woo blog you must be self aware & want to be a better person…
New Word or Old World?
We are just dipping our toes into the energy of The Age of Aquarius & into The New World…
The New World that is being ushered in in this timely moment & is bringing about a collective of beautiful souls that are honest, kind, loving, healing & that are here to raise the collective consciousness & frequency of Mother Earth so by BEing, doing & growing we have to begin with us.
Balancing the Light & the Dark
Homeostasis – always seeking balance…
Polarity examples…
Black – white
Yin - yang
Feminine – masculine
Up – down
In – out
Hot – cold
Dark – light
Good – evil
Wet – dry
Happy – sad
By the laws of polarity there are opposites in all & we are constantly seeking balance. Balance of ourselves, emotionally, physically, mentally & spiritually…
Everything in nature is seeking balance, just like our own bodily temperature thermostat is always self regulating, so is everything else within & without.
It is for us to master ourselves on every elemental level…
Take for example, you are a hot headed Aries sun like me & you can react to disrespect, it’s important to not react & learn to respond in a respectful way. Otherwise you are reacting with disrespect, then you are no better & are lowering your vibration & attracting more of what you don’t want…
Every action has a reaction…
Take the time to understand yourself, understand where you are now & where you want to BE, or who you want to BE, then ask yourself:
How can I BE that version of myself?
What do I need to do in order to BE that best version?
What behaviour does the best version of me exhibit?
Visualise yourself as if you were watching a movie of how you respond gracefully, respectfully or such…
Step into your best version in your mind…
And BE it…
Ask yourself “is this decision or action taking me towards my best version of me or life I want to live or away?”
BE the best version of YOU…
Self mastery is hard, but by daily practice the compounded progress can be profound
Staying the same is HARD, changing is HARD, everything is HARD, choose your hard…
Creating a New Habit
When we create a new habit or belief about ourself it can literally feel like it hurts our head as it creates a new neuro pathway, however, once we do this a few times it becomes easier & it then becomes a habit & second nature.
Do a habit every day for 30 days & you will do it on autopilot…
Just like learning to ride a bike or driving, you think ‘I can’t do this!’ But then you’re doing it!!
I remember when I first started learning astrology charts, it hurt my head, my head just couldn’t comprehend what on earth they were talking about! I put down the video & came back months later! Then before I knew it I can read charts!
Practice makes progress!
Once a path is formed it becomes easier to walk…
Actions
Implementation is how we put our knowledge into action
Journal daily – get to know yourself by writing down your thoughts (also very therapeutic & grounding)
Write down & get clear on your values
Write down your morals – what you are & aren’t willing to tolerate or accept from others or yourself
Write down & get clear on your boundaries – this ensures you’re less likely to allow anyone to overstep them
By documenting these you can know yourself better & will be less likely to waver on them.
Do a Circle Audit
Are the people around you aligned with your path?
We are the sum of the five people we surround ourselves with, therefore, if the people around you aren’t where you want to be or on the same journey then are they really your tribe?
Now, I’m not saying you need to cut people off completely… however, it is important to limit the energy & time spent with them or listening to their negativity… of self limiting beliefs…
Family & friends want to protect us from harm so they will often try to clip our wings which can look like them sabotaging our dreams…
Just because someone believes they can’t do something, they will try to put their beliefs on you…
Surround yourself with likeminded individuals. If your present situation has none, then listen to the people you aspire to be like… & be mindful of experiences & meetings with relevent souls that we come into contact with that are often coming to us in syncronicity. Nothing is by mistake, everything is by design…
Pay attention to the opportunites… they are everywhere & all very timely.
