Elements of Reflective Alignment
The Elements of Reflective Alignment aren’t steps to follow in a fixed order.
They are parts of a living process you can enter at any point, return to often, and adapt to any area of your life.
-
Examine the narratives, assumptions, and conditioning you’ve absorbed from family, culture, institutions, and personal experience.
Questions to explore:
Which beliefs still serve you?
Which no longer align?
Where did they come from?
-
Clarify your current values, identity, and direction, including your vision for the future and the principles you want to uphold.
Questions to explore:
Who am I now?
What do I value most?
Where do I want to go?
-
Translate your self-knowing into intentional action. Create rhythms, habits, and supports that uphold your chosen path.
Questions to explore:
What structures will help me live my values?
How do I make decisions that reflect who I am?
-
Notice when things drift from alignment. Unpack why and fine-tune your actions or beliefs to realign with your values.
