distractions

This morning, I was thinking about the two bald eagles I saw on Friday, and I can’t help but believe that most people driving along 116th St. in Fishers did not see the two massive birds hanging out and flying around. I could have missed seeing them had I been distracted by my phone, other thoughts, or even changing songs on the radio. There is no shortage of distractions today, which might keep you from receiving important messages from the Universe—you might be missing your bald eagles because you aren’t paying attention. Not only might distractions keep you from receiving messages, but they can also be getting in the way of you getting connected with your Self; spending time on social media, getting pulled into media headlines, or participating in gossip all keep you from spending time with your Self—time which will help you get closer to your authentic life. You don’t need to give those distractions up in totality, but reducing the distracted time will give you the time and space to connect to the things that matter most as you pursue your authentic life. The more you experience moments like I did Friday, the more you’ll want to make sure you reduce the distractions in your life and become more in tune with the Universe. JC |

"Motivation often comes after starting, not before. Action produces momentum." -James Clear Over the next week, you’ll start hearing more about people’s New Year’s resolutions, and we all know that only a small percentage will make it past the middle of February. One reason most resolutions fail is the lack of momentum at the start of the year. I don’t think you need to or should wait until January 1 to start doing something different that is going to help you move closer to your goals. But,...
I hope you had a great week! A little heads up--I'm working on a short Google survey to find out what would make these Weekly Notes more valuable, or if they are what you prefer as they are. I'm contemplating going back to curating a few pieces of content each week that align with the Authentic Life, but I only want to dedicate the energy towards curation if enough people say they'd like it. This week, I dropped another episode of Convos with Friends on AlignedLife and am excited for more...
