Being in a body can be strange. You’ll never experience yourself outside of your body the way another person experiences you. Because your point of view is naturally directed outward from your body, it takes awareness and directed effort to look inward, to reflect.
Looking inward is important, because it allows us to see if we are in alignment with who we are, or who we want to be. When something feels off in our lives, it’s usually because our outer world is not in alignment with our inner world. Things aren’t lining up.
To live an aligned life, a life where you feel peace within you, fulfillment, happiness, and a sense of … not necessarily purpose, but a groundedness … who you are and who you are being, i.e. your choices and actions, need to be in alignment.
