Routines are great, but sometimes they need to be adjusted. Make sure you stay adaptable to the adjustments you might need to make within your daily routines An example of this is writing my Daily Note. It has become clear to me that shifts I’ve made in my morning routine require me to adjust when I write my Daily Note (you’ll notice this is hitting your inbox in the evening instead of the morning). If I want the Daily Note to continue being something that is delivered in the morning, I need to adapt to a new morning routine:
I no longer can consistently write my Daily Note before 12:00 most days—maybe 11:00 if I don’t have a client meeting scheduled, and that doesn’t work for me. So… Tonight, for the first time, I will write tomorrow’s Daily Note. I’ll still do a meditation before writing so I can download the message; I’ve yet to plan a Daily Note in advance of preparing to write it each morning with meditation or some reading. Life forced some changes to my morning routine, and I’m adapting. I’m actually excited about this because it will also allow me to add something new, or I guess bring something back, each day…the Daily Note podcast on the AlignedLife Podcast. I want to schedule a 12:30 recording of the Daily Note podcast into my daily calendar, where I read the Daily Note and provide additional context for the post. I did this for a few months, and it was really helpful for me in processing my ideas and further exploring what I wrote. Recording and publishing these short episodes doesn’t take very long. If I know the Daily Note has already been published for the day, I won’t find my Self cramming in writing and recording in the middle of the day. Be on the lookout for the AlignedLife Podcast feed to be active daily soon. If I weren’t able to adapt to the changes in my morning that were not all my doing, the Daily Note would suffer, and the podcast version may have never returned. Be sure to stay flexible and open to adapting when necessary. See you tomorrow and keep pursuing, JC |

Love. Love is the answer. We enter this world in a natural state of love – it’s all we know how to do; just watch a group of young kids play. It doesn’t matter what the other kids look like, what belief system their family has, where they came from, or what sports team their parents root for. None of that matters because they don’t see any differences–they just see another human being because they are operating from a place of love. Read any book on consciousness, and love is one of the...
“As soon as we become aware of money, we develop beliefs about it, beliefs we cling to, sometimes for the rest of our lives, often at the cost of our souls.”-George Kinder It might seem extreme to say that your beliefs about money, especially those that you developed without being aware of, can cost you your soul, but if you think about it, it’s true.If your beliefs about money prevent you from becoming the person you were created to be by keeping you in relationships, careers, and living a...
Inauthenticity. A cause of burnout that no one talks about is inauthenticity. This inauthenticity is not always by choice, and often, it’s not even something the individual is aware of. Waking up every day and putting on the act of being someone you aren’t or don’t want to be is exhausting. This “act” often comes in the form of our professional Self, however, there are many suffering from inauthenticity in relationships, friendships, and other areas of life. Life is exhausting enough without...
