Living Life Aligned

12/11/2020 By Sarah Wyland

Authenticity. 

True to one’s own personality, spirit, or character. 

Not false or an imitation

Someone recently asked me what my silver lining in 2020 has been and my answer came easily: the chance to slow down and re-align with who I am and what I want. 

The chance to be authentic. 

2020 has been a blessing for me in that way. We will all look back on this year and think “damn, that happened.” But personally, I will look at 2020 and also think “why yes, that was the year I started to live aligned.”

We all get caught up in the “stuff.” We let our to do lists overtake us. We let the expectations of others – or our perceived expectations – guide us. We feel obligated to “not let anyone down.” We get caught up in the “boss babe” culture, the “hustle hard” culture. We do it all – or at least look like we do – while quietly asking ourselves: “when will I have time to do what I want? To put myself first?” 

My pandemic silver lining has been the opportunity to realize what does and doesn’t align with my life’s vision. We have all seen inspirational quotes that say things like “decide what kind of life you want and say no to everything that isn’t that” and “find what lights you up – and go do it.” We probably think “oh, I like that.” We double tap it or save it to our Inspirational Quotes pinterest board. 

Do we live it? 

Probably not. 

But suddenly, when I couldn’t coach gymnastics or train for weightlifting meets, I had time. Time to do some of the things I wanted to do. Time to reflect on what was working and what wasn’t. Time to realize I wasn’t coaching gymnastics because I wanted to. I still loved coaching and adored my kids, but I was sacrificing a lot of my personal time because I felt obligated – they didn’t have enough coaches and I was the only one coaching the special needs class and… and… and… I was doing a whole lot of that – a whole lot of putting the things I wanted to do on the backburner in the name of doing what I thought I was supposed to do or what was expected of me. 

By doing that, I wasn’t living in alignment with who I am and what I want. 

What does that look like, to live life aligned? 

Good Vibes Only

It looks like telling gymnastics no when they asked me to coach once they were allowed to re-open. I had realized I have a finite amount of time. I wanted my Saturday morning CrossFit class more than I wanted to teach preschool gymnastics. 

It looks like keeping my Fridays evenings free of obligation (shocking how even in a pandemic your calendar can book up) after a week of work and classes. It’s my time to sit on my couch, watch cheesy movies, and work on whatever I want to work on that’s not homework or “real” work. 

It looks like deciding to move to Los Angeles to make a go at becoming a showrunner and turning the stories that play out in my head into a way to make a living.

It looks like living authentically. 

Living aligned. 

Life. Aligned. 

It’s a conscious choice to live a life in alignment with who you are, what you want, and what you need. It’s not the easiest thing to do though. We fall into routine, into what’s safe. We do what we think is expected of us. We let dreams die, passions fall away. 

But are you happy living out of alignment? 

I wasn’t. 

I appeared to be. 

But inside, I was wrestling. I wasn’t happy. I was doing a lot of “stuff” but so much of that stuff was simply stuff I didn’t want to do.  So I set boundaries. I said “no.” I chose to focus my energy on things that brought me joy, that aligned with my passions, what lights me up. I trimmed away the things that weren’t working or bringing me joy. I made space for myself, for what I wanted my life to be and become. 

You may have noticed the phrase ‘Life Aligned’ floating around on my blog and social media. That’s because I have a story to tell – a story of living my life aligned. A story that I hope inspires you to live a life aligned. 

A life of authenticity. 

A life that lights you up. 

Here’s to life aligned.

I decided to hell with it and went all out just to run errands last weekend and it was brilliant. Beach waves, red lipstick, real clothes. I felt like a brand new woman.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We fall into a routine the easy way of doing things. It's easy to roll out of bed, commute to the living room, and put on a Zoom-appropriate shirt just before the first meeting of the day kicks off. We get comfortable with easy. But the good stuff rarely comes from easy.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my favorite parts of coaching are the women who go from "I HATE the gym" to "I look forward to my workouts!" or "I hate vegetables" to "My plate is so colorful!" They stop taking the easy way out (skipping the gym, grabbing McDonald's on the way home) and start doing things that might be a little harder or take a little longer but make them feel damned good in the end.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where are you taking the easy way out? What's it getting you? What if you tried something a little bit harder? Would it take a little longer? But would it be worth it?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

An uncle of an ex-boyfriend once told me "you have An uncle of an ex-boyfriend once told me "you have to be happy with yourself before you can be happy with someone else." I was barely 20, suffering through my first real heartbreak, and thought he was full of crap.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Turns out, he knew what he was talking about.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Internal work, the deep work, is hard work. Going to the gym, eating well, drinking enough water, and getting eight hours of sleep each night is easy compared to digging deep and learning why you do the things you do, why you are the way you are. Our internal forces drive us, and they don't always lead us in the right direction. If you're not right on the inside, your outside will reflect it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We're good at hiding our internal messes. We're tied together with a smile, showing up to our lives like we're expected to, no matter the turmoil going on just below the surface. But that outside you're reflecting to the rest of the world may not be the outside you truly want. You may not want your flashy job or your seemingly perfect relationship. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Figure out your insides. Do the work. Go to therapy. Journal. Meditate. Pray. Pull tarot cards. Going on a life-changing retreat. Whatever you need to do to access your internal life and get to work on healing it. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Eckhart is right. So is my ex-boyfriend's uncle. You've got to be right on the inside - be happy with yourself - to be happy on the outside.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Real Talk Time: I haven't been inside a gym in a m Real Talk Time: I haven't been inside a gym in a month. Bit of a surprise, coming from a fitness coach, no?⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Between moving and being in a city where gyms are closed, I haven't been able to workout the way I want to. Do I like it? No. But it is what it is. I'm still moving my body with daily walks and yoga sessions thanks to the @downdogyoga app. It's not what I want - I want to lift weights - but it's what I've got right now.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Plus, my fitness "wants" are changing. I could go to a CrossFit gym and workout outside, but I'm finding I want to train "old school." I want to just LIFT. I want to do the programming I write for my clients and hop on bike in a spin class on occasion. Going all out in a CrossFit class isn't holding the same appeal to me as it did a year ago.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
All of this to say, we change.  Our fitness goals change. Our workout preferences change. I've gone through a barre phase. A powerlifting phase. CrossFit. Oly lifting. Back to CrossFit. Now I'm trending back to the powerlifting days without the emphasis on competing. I want to be strong enough for day-to-day activities and yes, recomp my body. I don't have the same desire to do burpees for time.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Have your fitness preferences changed? How are you working out right now? Tell me in the comments! And if you are a client of mine on one of the at home bodyweight workout programs - yes, I've done a few of your workouts. I hear you - they ain't easy! But they're so good... ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Yesterday, I scrapped my long to-do list and:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️Hiked Runyon Canyon⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️Filled my fridge with fresh fruit and veggies⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️Finished up Empire Bling on Netflix (can I be friends with Anna? I like treasures too...)⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️Soaked in a tub with a @lushcosmetics bath bomb while listening to @taylorswift’s evermore' album and reading⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
▪️Went to bed early to finish reading said book⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It was heavenly.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
As an Enneagram 3, it's hard for me to tap out and take care of my mental health when there is so much to DO. Especially when a lot of those "to-dos" are things I LOVE (like coaching and writing!). But taking time out for one's self is too important to not do. After a month of upheaval - moving across the country ain't for the faint of heart - I needed a day to just be. And that was yesterday. Today, as I sit down to tackle that to-do list, I'm in an entirely different headspace and the work I do will show that.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I encourage you to take a day. A full day. Any day. Use that entire day to do the things you love, the things you want to do, the things that bring you joy. Take care of yourself first. You can't pour from an empty cup. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

[SAVE THIS POST] MEAL PREP TIPS: 3 Ways to Meal Pr [SAVE THIS POST] MEAL PREP TIPS: 3 Ways to Meal Prep Without Losing Your Mind
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Clients ask for meal prep tips all the time. At the end of the day, it's about finding a system that works best for your lifestyle. In general though, there are three ways to meal prep without losing your mind:
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
(swipe for more details!)
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
1) Pick 3 - Choose 3 meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner) and snacks for the week, prep them ahead of time, and have them in the fridge to grab and go throughout the week. This is a great option for those who don't mind eating the meals a few days in a row.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
2) Batch - Pick your proteins, veggies, and starches, take a few hours to prepare everything for the week, and mix and match meals throughout the week ahead. This is a good option for those who want both ease and variety. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
3) Prepare - If you like to cook, save time by prepping your ingredients ahead of time. Chop your veggies, marinate your meats, etc., maybe even pop a meal in the freezer. When you're ready to cook, everything is prepared and ready! This works well for those who enjoy being in the kitchen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Meal prep doesn't have to be overwhelming. Play around in the kitchen, figure out a method that works for you. maybe even log a few "go to" recipes. There truly is no right or wrong way.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your best meal prep tip?
I'm about to blow your mind.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 Where your energy goes, your reality follows.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I discovered this idea about a dozen years ago and it changed my life. Call it Law of Attraction or call it hustle, but the idea is the same: where you put your focus, your reality unfolds.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Think about it.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You decide it's time for a new job. It becomes a dominant thought. You daydream about the role you want while you churn away at your desk of your current job. You browse LinkedIn and Indeed for your dream job at every opportunity. You put time and effort into polishing your resume and cover letter. You. Want. A. New. Job.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
And then you get one. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You focused on it. You put your energy there. You took action. You made it your reality. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
It can also go like this:⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re having a crap day. You woke up late, didn’t have time to dry your hair, spilled coffee all over yourself in the car, hit traffic, was late for work, the deli got your lunch order wrong… You spend your day waiting for the next crap thing to happen.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You’re focusing on the bad. You’re expecting it. And it keeps on coming. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Where your energy goes, your reality follows. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
You get what you think about. You get it because that's where your energy is focused.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I want you to try something today. Think of a car. Any car. A Mustang. A Jaguar. A Corvette. Just pick one. Give it a color. I’m going with a white Range Rover.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Now, spend a few minutes thinking about that car. Google photos of it. Visualize yourself driving it. Once you’ve done that, notice how many of these cars you see in the next few days.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Let me know how it goes.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember - where your focus goes, your reality goes. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I’m about to see a lot of white Range Rovers.
First Monday in Los Angeles. First day of spring s First Monday in Los Angeles. First day of spring semester. First day with a couple of new 1:1 coaching clients. I like this Monday.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's good about your Monday?
