Alignment is a word that’s become part of my vocabulary recently. Thanks to some ergonomic issues in my office, I’ve been forced to focus on alignment and the body. It’s not just our physical body that requires alignment in our workplace. Our mind and spirit also benefit from alignment in our work. The definition of alignment is “the proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts in relation to each other.”
When our God-given identity is not reflected in our work, we are out of alignment. We struggle to stay motivated, to find meaning in the work we are doing on a daily basis. We’re mentally, emotionally and spiritually all hunched over, in a defensive position. We feel frustrated and stuck. We don’t have proper positioning. Our parts are not in a state of adjustment in relation to each other.
When we have alignment of our body, mind and spirit, we are living as our True Self. Only out of True Self can we interact authentically with others.
3 Benefits of Alignment
Alignment with Your Masterpiece Work
It always comes back to self-awareness as the understanding of our Masterpiece Work. We have a deeper understanding of our self and what motivates us. We have more “Open Space” as we consider the JoHari Window. For more information on the JoHari Window, listen to the JoHari Window podcast here.
As a leader, operating out of your True Self is a catalyst for others to do the same. When you’re in alignment with your True Self – Body, Mind and Spirit – you are living into who God created you, your being and doing is in alignment with His Masterpiece design for you. You’re doing your Masterpiece work.
In this podcast, we talk about alignment in our workplace. Our mind and spirit also benefit from alignment in our work. The definition of alignment is “the proper positioning or state of adjustment of parts in relation to each other.”
