3 signs you’re out of alignment (and how to get your groove back)
Alright, Wild Soul, let’s talk about those moments when life feels like a poorly written rom-com. You know, when the universe throws you a curveball and you’re stuck in a plot twist that’s left your soul feeling a bit neglected? Recognizing when you’re out of alignment is the first step to strutting back onto the path of well-being and soulful connection. Here are four signs your soul might need a little TLC and how to get that sparkle back.
1. You’re Waking Up Like a Zombie
If dragging yourself out of bed feels like a scene from "The Walking Dead," it’s time to check in with your soul’s alignment status. Your soul craves a vibrant life, not one where you’re constantly feeling drained and disconnected.
How to Get Back on Track:
Sashay right into a "Me Day" (or a few “me moments”) that nourishes your soul. Treat yourself to some self-care that sparks joy and reconnects you with your inner being—whether it’s a mindful walk in nature, a soul-soothing meditation session, journaling your deepest thoughts, or simply basking in the silence of your own company. Life’s too short to wake up feeling like your soul’s been hit by a truck!
2. You’re Feeling Stuck or DISCONNECTED
Does it feel like you’re running in circles but not actually getting anywhere? Maybe you’re grinding through your to-do list, but nothing feels satisfying. When you’re aligned, your actions feel purposeful and fulfilling. If you’re stuck in a rut, it’s likely a sign you’ve veered off your path.
How to Realign:
Pause and Reflect: Take a step back and ask yourself, What do I actually want? Journaling or meditating can help you reconnect with your inner truth.
Shift Your Energy: Move your body, declutter your space, or try something new—even something small like taking a different route home. Changing your environment can spark fresh energy and ideas.
Reconnect to Joy: Do one thing that lights you up, even if it’s as simple as blasting your favorite song and dancing around your living room.
3. You’re Channeling Your Inner Grumpy Cat
If you find yourself rolling your eyes more than a toddler at bedtime, it’s a sign your soul is yearning for balance and harmony. Frustration is like a dark cloud over your soul’s sunshine—it blocks the light and leaves you feeling out of sorts.
How to Get Back on Track:
Grab your favorite journal and let your soul speak. Write down what’s causing disharmony in your life and brainstorm ways to restore balance and peace.
Incorporate practices like gratitude journaling, mindfulness exercises, or spending time in nature to realign with your soul’s true desires.
4. You’re Constantly Exhausted AND LOST YOUR SPARKLE
Sure, life gets busy, but if you’re always feeling drained, it’s a big red flag. When you’re aligned, you’ll still get tired (you’re human!), but your energy feels replenished when you do things you love. Chronic exhaustion, on the other hand, usually points to misalignment.
How to Realign:
Prioritize Self-Care: This isn’t just bubble baths and spa days (though, yes, those are great). Self-care can also look like saying no to extra commitments or giving yourself permission to rest. Create a consistent bedtime routine, minimize screen time before bed, and make your sleep environment as cozy and restful as possible.
Check Your Energy Sources: Are you spending time on things that drain you instead of energize you? Shift your focus to activities and people who uplift you.
Energy Clearing: Consider incorporating Reiki or energy healing into your self-care routine. These practices can help clear blockages, restore balance, and promote deep healing.
Final Thoughts
Being out of alignment can feel frustrating, but it’s also a powerful wake-up call. It’s your soul’s way of saying, Hey, let’s recalibrate! So, dust off that tiara, grab your favorite motivational mug, and get ready to strut your way back into a life filled with soulful connection, well-being, and a whole lotta sparkle.
