I hope you’re having the most beautiful summer filled with fun and family and sunshine! I’m popping in to share my new favorite morning ritual: the abc’s of alignment!

This is something I learned recently from Abraham Hicks and it’s been a game changer. The point of the exercise is to get you to gently ease your way into alignment with your higher self, by remembering how it feels when you are. Then as you proceed into your day from that place, it’s like you have a new pair of sunglasses on, or you’re looking at the world (and yourself, relationships, situations, challenges, opportunities, etc) from this honestly beautiful new vantage point.

of alignment

I love to speak out loud when I’m doing this – but you could also do it in your head or even write it down!

starting with the letter ‘A’, fill in the blank: when I am in alignment, it feels like ___________ (abundance, awe – as many as you can think of with ‘A’ before moving on!)
move on to the letter ‘B’, same thing: when I am in alignment, it feels like ________ (beauty, basking, I feel bright and brilliant)
when I am in alignment, it feels like clarity and creativity
I feel like dancing! It feels like a dream.
when I am in alignment, I feel eager and excited and energy and ease…
…and flow! and fun.
I feel grateful.
and happy.

And you just keep going like this, all the way through the alphabet! Don’t worry if you can’t think of one for any specific letter – just skip it:) The point here is to shift into a state where you feel wonderful, and ready to approach your day from that place of feeling good.

I’ve noticed that I usually don’t make it past ‘F’ or ‘G’ before I feel just incredible! So far, it’s one of the fastest methods I have found to totally change my state or the way I feel. I think it’s effective because I’m not forcing anything, I’m just remembering – but often in the remembering, the feelings arise easily. And the cool thing is, the more I have done this not only the easier it gets, but also I become more and more intimately acquainted and familiar with the kind of person I want to be:)
