[5 Days of Alignment] Day 5: Where it ALL Begins (The Base of the Pyramid)

Fri, 26 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0500

I like to think of our Best Self as a pyramid. At the top of that pyramid is a Life of Alignment. The middle section is all about mindset, much of which we've dived into together this week.

But we all know a pyramid can't stay up without the foundation. And the foundation of an Aligned Life MUST MUST MUST be our physical health (remember, it's science).

Let's talk about how and why in Day 5...

[5 Days of Alignment] Day 4: Where Focus Goes, Energy Flows: Creating Boundaries & Protecting Your Energy

Thu, 25 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0500

Tony Robbins coined a catchy little saying: "Where focus goes, energy flows"

That's not just woohoo feel good fluff...it's science.

If you remember in Day 1, we talked about the Quantum Physics of Manifesting: we're literally attracting back where our energy is flowing.

So, it's safe to say that protecting our energy and focusing on activities (and people) that raise it is of the utmost importance. (I venture to say it's the single most important thing we can do.)

But what if we struggle to set boundaries? And is it realistic to have the freedom in life to only make choices in alignment with preserving our energy?

We're getting to WORK on Day 4 with how to do just that.

Only two days left to reserve your seat in limited edition, very limited seating live on Zoom intensive, How to Rewire Your Brain to Consciously Build Your Aligned Life.

With extremely limited seating, this is an intimate gathering to deep dive and do this work together. With Rachel as your guide, we're identifying old, limiting stories and beliefs that we may not even know are in there and, from there, consciously re-wiring our brain with the tools we need for our aligned life.

This event will fill up and enrollment closes with Day 5 tomorrow. Go reserve your seat before its filled:

[5 Days of Alignment] Day 3: Aligning Each Day

Wed, 24 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0500

Keeping our energy in alignment requires two necessary steps:

1. Starting the day in alignment
2. Knowing how to get ourselves back when life takes us out (which it will)

The reality is that most of us don't have hours a day to meditate and go for long walks in nature. So, here's my 10 minute morning routine + how I re-align as the day goes on, in a realistic, do-able way.

If you're ready to put these tools to use, you don't want to miss my upcoming live on Zoom intensive, How to Rewire Your Brain to Consciously Build Your Aligned Life.

In our two hours together, we're getting our hands in the dirt and uprooting those old stories, currently wired in our brain, and replacing them with our new, empowered, consciously aligned belief system.

This isn't a sit back and listen workshop, this is a two hour intensive where we do the work TOGETHER..and it will change your life.

To keep the integrity of our work together, seats are extremely limited and ONLY being offered to those participating in these 5 Days of Alignment.

Reserve your seat here before it fill:

[5 Days of Alignment] Day 1: The Quantum Physics of Manifesting

Mon, 22 Jan 2024 01:00:00 -0500

It's easy to think manifesting is "woowoo" rainbows, glitter, and unicorns. In reality, it's quantum physics.
