Listen "Alignment: Connecting Our Experience with Our Values with Dr. Pam King"
Episode Synopsis
“When our life is aligned to what truly matters, that is when we experience the most enduring joy.”
In this episode, Dr. Pam King explains the 3rd step in the 5 A’s of Agility for Spiritual Health. Alignment is the process of becoming more reflective, drawing connections between our thoughts and emotions—and our beliefs, values, habits, and the experiences that shape us.
This is the step where we look for our intentions and expectations and hold them up to our raw experiences and the possible meanings associated with them. We begin by identifying what's true or what's false in our feelings and thoughts so we can more clearly move toward our purposes.
Show Notes
