This week's full moon in Aries had me feeling all types of ways (did anyone else feel the intense energy?)⁣
⁣
This past full moon was all about relationships, learning and growing through our own introspection but also through our interpersonal relationships (friendships, familial, romantic, work...)⁣
⁣
It reminded us that inner-work is done not only through solitude but also through relationships. We learn through how we connect with others.⁣
⁣
This Aries moon also reminds us to step into our power. As it falls in first zodiac sign, it symbolizes a new chapter or cycle and a new opportunity to try something new, something that excites us and ignites our fire. ⁣
⁣
Many of us are going through huge transformations right now. That's because as a society we are going through a shift in consciousness, trading out what no longer serves us (obsession with money, status, image) for what really matters (deep relationships, love, happiness, peace).

Are you going through a transformation right now?
​
Here's how you can navigate your transformation and become a "genius transformer"

1. Feel your emotions. Whether you just quit your job, left a relationship or started a new routine; you're going to get emotional. Some days you're going to want to jump ship, abandon your new goal or journey. My advice? FEEL THE EMOTIONS. RIDE THE WAVE!! Cry, shout, scream if you need to. Smile and laugh too. Whatever you're feeling, allow yourself to feel it.
2. Balance that emotion with the task at hand. After feeling your emotions, allow them to go. While it's important to have feelings and emotions, they can sometimes get in the way of what we are trying to accomplish. Think before you act and ask yourself if your action is being driven by your goal or your present emotion.
3. Understand you why. Why are you trying to change? Are you being forced to change by external circumstances? Are you ready to pursue your desires? Are you trying to invite more joy and harmony into your reality? Whatever your "why" is, really ground-down in it. Write it down 100 times if you need to. And know that your why is greater than any circumstance or barrier you perceive to be blocking you from achieving it.

How do you know you’re in alignment...?

When things fall into place. When things stop feeling so “hard,” when your worst-case-scenario story in your head is proven false. When you can breathe.

I truly believe the universe sends you struggles to force you into alignment. Obviously, we must work hard for the success we desire. But grinding in alignment feels ENTIRELY different than grinding against the grain, or grinding towards what isn’t meant for you.

Yesterday I was blessed with beautiful opportunity, but some chaos and confusion as well. Plans were canceled, rearranged. Transportation was disorganized. Communication was complicated.

But instead of crashing against my circumstances, I decided to flow with them. The result? Beautiful connection with strangers, several synchronicities, amazing opportunities and a deepening of my connection with those around me.

Being in alignment doesn’t mean everything looks perfect on paper. It means really truly feeling peace at any given moment, knowing you’re on the right path.

I challenge you to find a way to flow with life instead of crash against it. Next time something “goes wrong” unplug, look up from your phone, look away from your perception of unpleasant circumstances and realize the beauty around you in the sky’s blue hue, the bright sun shinning on your face, the sound of your footsteps, the smile from a stranger and this gift of life.
