Alignment #1 for Authentic Living: Do What You Want to Do

Very important as the basis for each of these Six Alignments I learned at Eden is...

learning to become very present in your own life, day to day, moment to moment, millisecond to millisecond!  When you are present body, mind and soul to yourself, your environment and to the people and energy around you, these alignments will come more naturally and produce more love, peace and inspired learning in your life. 

So...

Alignment #1:  Do What You Want To Do

No...really!   Stop worrying about how you will appear or offend people...just listen to yourself (there's that get present thing again) and do what you WANT!

You can rest assured you will ALWAYS get immediate and useful information back from the Universe. Use it or don't.

But for God's sake and your sanity, get in your body, listen and DO WHAT YOU WANT! ♥

This has helped me with the art of allowing...when others do what they want and don't try to guess what they SHOULD do, or what YOU want them to do, it frees all of us to allow for natural consequences good, bad or neutral, set boundaries and communicate our needs.

When I do what I want I can observe the affects on myself and the people around me.  It makes me an observer of my own life and empowers me to choose based on desirable or undesirable outcomes.  Doing what I want helps get me closer to living the life, relationships and purpose I truly want to be living in this world by providing immediate feedback to my choices rather than having to navigate the thinking and psychology around why I choose what I choose.  I choose it because I want to!  It works to bring more life or it doesn't.

As someone who's always had...well...no boundaries, accepting that others do what they want has helped me be true to myself by setting better boundaries or reaching out with authentic communication if I am uncomfortable or don't understand someone else’s choices.  Not to mention making it easier for me to let go of um, well...eh hem..some...(cough, cough)...control issues! Whew! :)

Practical Tip:  Stay present...pay attention and accept the feedback the Universe provides when you do what you want! Use it...or don't! 

Do what you want! :)
