Life Alignment Audit

Life Alignment Audit

As much as we want to align life as perfectly as possible, that is not usually the case. Whenever we aim to align life perfectly, that is when life throws us a curveball that we do not expect. As the saying goes, the best-laid plans of mice and men often go awry. No matter how we carefully align life to our liking, something might still go wrong which is why it is necessary to have a clear understanding of why this happens. By knowing the why, we can then devise plans to get us back on track.

Understanding why it is hard to align life as we want it to, we have to consider the fact that oftentimes, the problem lies not with our goals but with us. We are living in an era where it is easy to lose ourselves. To align life with our passion would mean going out of our safety bubbles. So instead of doing something because we are passionate, we do things out of habit. We are always busy yet we are not going anywhere. We have so much to do yet feel unsatisfied at the end of the day.

LIFE ALIGNMENT AUDIT

An aligned life would be of great help in this situation. We would have a clear view of our life’s purpose as well as re-ignite our passion to do the things we love. Doing a life alignment audit may seem to be a daunting task. However, we have to keep in mind that doing a life alignment audit is absolutely necessary especially if you want to reach the best version of yourself. Here are some steps to help you start on your life alignment audit journey.

BE HONEST WITH YOURSELF

The first thing we have to do when doing a life alignment audit is to honestly check our life’s purpose. Our life’s purpose can relatively affect our life decisions, behaviours, goals, sense of direction, and meaning. Our life’s purpose also depends on a variety of reasons like our needs, the stage of life where we are in, and where we want to be in the future. Life’s purpose can be focused on family, career, or simply making yourself better.

Some people usually feel hesitant to pursue their life’s purpose because they are worried that they might look selfish or self-serving. However, an individual who has a clear view of his or her life’s purpose would be able to recognize what he or she has to offer to contribute to the betterment of the world. Knowing your life’s purpose equates to your happiness and it should not depend on other people. You have to align life as you see fit.

WRITE DOWN YOUR GOALS

According to Maslow, human beings are motivated by a hierarchy of needs. The order of these needs is flexible depending on the external circumstances and individual differences that we have. Human motivation is based on people seeking fulfilment and change through personal growth.

One important part of a life alignment audit is to write down your goals. Whether they are small or big or just plain silly. Seeing a goal written on paper makes it more solid. And in doing so, you would be able to judge what more needs to be done and decide on measures that need to be taken.

 

CONNECT WITH OTHERS

It is important to be able to connect with other people who have the same goal as you. People who would be able to uplift your core values and help you align life the way you want it to. A life alignment audit can be done alone or with the help of other people such as personal development coaches. There are many ways to connect with like-minded people nowadays. You just have to have the courage to step out and be open about connecting with others. You can check out Creative Directions for Living. They have a variety of programs and sessions which would certainly assist you in realizing your life’s purpose.

COMMIT TO YOUR PASSION

A life alignment audit makes an individual face the truth about themselves and this truth could sometimes be hard to deal with. Nonetheless, it is a truth that we should deal with sooner or later. Why prolong the agony when you can start making yourself better by doing a life alignment audit now? Life is short. Do not waste it on things that don’t make you feel satisfied. Follow your passion.
