The Align Wellness Podcast

Next week is the start of the Full Potential Challenge happening in my new membership: Daily Practice. While I don't actually believe we'll ever reach our Full Potential, I love the idea of striving towards it because we will accomplish so much more that way.I believe that we are forever a work in progress and that we are meant to evolve and grow. It's by working towards or reaching a goal, that we start to see how much more is available to us. Listen to this week's episode to hear more and check out the links below to join the challenge or connect on social media.Join the Full Potential Challenge:https://www.meganschmidt.com/daily-practiceFollow me on Instagram@megan.schmidt.coaching and @dailypractice.method

Yesterday I was listening to a talk from Sydney Banks on "The Power of Thought" and I wanted to share some take-aways from what he shared. Some of the key points in today's episode are:Becoming conscious of what you think is always the first stepIt's not what you think but that you think that is so important to rememberYou can't help thoughts that pop into your mind, but you can choose to stop or continue to think themWhat makes for a happy life?Everyone has their own alignmentActing on positive thoughts creates a positive life, acting on negative thoughts creates a negative thoughtListen to learn more on the power of your thoughts.Ps. If you want to take your personal growth work deeper join me inside the Align membership!Follow along on Instagram

In this episode I'm breaking down a lesson I learned from a Kabbalah teacher, David Ghiyam, about the purpose of personal and spiritual growth.The inner work and personal transformation you do is what "creates the vessel" to receive the things you want in life.There is no God in the sky that you need to convince.Your free will is to transform yourself to be able to "hold" more energy. It's the inner work you do on your thoughts, and feelings so there is no faking or pretending.Take every opportunity that life gives you to work on your negativity.Listen to the episode to learn more. 

I've been a vegetarian for over 16 years and while I don't think that just being a vegetarian makes you healthier, it led me down a path of learning about the food industry, learning about ingredients and food labels, and being conscious about what I feed myself and my family.It can be paradigm shifting to learn that just because something is in the grocery store doesn't mean it should be consumed and this is especially true when it comes to the "food" products that are marketed to children.I believe that the best way to improve your health is to eat a whole food diet as much as you can. You will eat approximately 3 meals a day (plus some snacks in there for some) and exercise only once a day, or for some people it might be 3 times a week or less. But many people have an emotional connection to certain food products or they turn to food when they are stressed, overwhelmed, or even happy. This can be why it's the hardest thing to change for people.Knowledge can be power, so start researching what those ingredients are in your packaged food and look at the nutritional label as well. All of it will help you be more informed and empowered in creating peak health. 

This week we are talking about the importance of personal growth work and what "working on yourself" actually looks like.This episode was inspired by the quote from Neville Goddard: "To seek on the outside for that which you do not feel you are is to seek in vain, for we never find that which we want; we find only that which we are." and Personal growth work benefits you and it benefits everyone around you. It's a win-win situation.When we are all working towards our highest selves and coming from "clean energy" we change the world.Ps.

It's been a minute since my last episode! After a couple months off I felt inspired today to share a back to the basics episode on the 4 components of an Aligned Life.I really do believe that each of us has a responsibility to be all that we can be and living an Aligned Life isn't just a nice concept but something that we each deserve to create for ourselves.By doing the work to manage your mind, create peak health, build fulfilling relationships and be on purpose you literally make the world a better place to be because you are elevating your own frequency and showing others what's possible in the world..Ps.Share this episode with a friend who also loves personal growth..Take this work deeper by joining me inside the Align membership.

This week i'm sharing 6 ways you can create better mental health and have a rock solid mindset.A few things I really want to emphasize are:We are not meant to "feel good" all the time, because we don't! Life is both "positive" and "negative" and so nothing has gone wrong when we are experiencing negative emotions. And as you have probably heard me say on other episodes, the negative emotions are always guiding us to what we do want, so learn to listen to the message.Another important point is that putting in "work" or "effort" is really what creates those fulfilling feelings. We are meant to create and accomplish things, not just consume content. So if you find yourself feeling low or unhappy, do something helpful for someone else, create something, finish a project, get outside, workout, eat something nourishing, connect in real life with someone close, or get some rest.Check out the full episode for more tips and details on creating better mental health..Follow me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/megan.schmidt.coaching/.Visit my website www.meganschmidt.com.Join the Align membership at https://www.meganschmidt.com/align-membership

Yesterday was my full marathon and on this episode I'm sharing the details of what went well for my training and on the run, and what didn't go well or what I would do differently for my next marathon.If you are a runner or have a race coming up, I hope this episode will be helpful for you!.Follow me on instagram @megan.schmidt.coaching.Visit my website www.meganschmidt.com.Join me inside my Align membership: Mind, Body and Soul - learn how to develop your mindset, create peak health, and live on purpose.

The marathon I've been training for since January is finally here (on Sunday) and I've been sick for the last 11 days. On this weeks' episode I share about my mindset and dealing with the disappointment of missing runs and adjusting my schedule and goal time. I also talk about making meaning of circumstances and learning lessons during those difficult times.One of the last things I share is that everyone should run a marathon (if you feel called to!) because of how it changes you. Physically you will get into the best shape, and mentally you will become so strong and determined and it will completely change your self concept.Subscribe to my Youtube Channel and watch my weekly episodes there!.Share this episode with a friend who also loves personal growth work and be sure to leave a review if you haven't yet!.If you are ready to take this work and apply it you can join me inside my Align annual membership or with 1:1 coaching inside my Path to Purpose program. 

I'm currently training for a marathon, which is on May 26th, and the process has me thinking about the importance of doing hard things and creating a big vision for yourself.The point of having a big goal is about the person you become in the process of working towards it. Even if you don't accomplish the goal (this time), you will have become so much "bigger" and improved yourself so much more, than if you set a smaller, more "realistic" goal. You'll learn so much about yourself by working hard and holding a big vision.You show yourself respect by doing what you know you need to do, even if you don't always feel like it (and many times, you won't).Lean into discomfort because that's the only way to expand your comfort zone and bring in anything that's outside your comfort zone.Subscribe to my Youtube Channel and watch my weekly episodes there! .

If you want to create a life that's aligned and fulfilling you need to be clear on your values and what matters to you.In this weeks' episode we talk about:-how to know what's in alignment for you-valuing what you want to value-learning why something matters to make it a value-the Universe wants you to be fulfilled just as much as you want it for yourself-the ruthlessness that is needed for creating an aligned life-effort creates long lasting fulfillment-and morePs.

I've talked about Confidence a few times on the podcast but this week I'm sharing a few new perspectives about it that you might not have heard before.As I share in this weeks' episode, confidence is not something that's outside of you, it comes from inside you, from how you think about yourself.I also share how we need to have awareness on why we say something or do something. Is it coming from confidence or low confidence? Saying or doing something with the intention to get people to think a certain way about you is clearly not confident. This requires a lot of self awareness but is powerful self growth work. .Subscribe to my Youtube Channel and watch my weekly episodes there!.Share this episode with a friend who also loves personal growth work and be sure to leave a review if you haven't yet!.If you are ready to take this work and apply it you can join me inside my Align annual membership or with 1:1 coaching inside my Path to Purpose program. 

This week I'm sharing the 5 things I see as the biggest "blocks" that hold women back from creating better health and wellness for themselves AND how to overcome them.I truly believe we all want to be our best, feel our best, and do our best, but wanting something isn't always enough.Especially as a mom, it takes a certain mindset and time management to prioritize your health.Listen to this weeks' episode if it's your goal to create better health for yourself this year.Ps.

It sounds so simple and obvious: you need to really know yourself for you to be able to create an Aligned Life. This weeks' episode will help you get to know yourself on a deeper level.I believe we all start off living default lives, trying to "fit in", be like others and follow the pre-paved path that everyone follows, only to find ourselves unhappy, unfulfilled, and obviously off purpose.Getting to know yourself is a life-long journey, as you are meant to continue to change and evolve.Tune in to learn my suggestions for getting to know yourself on a deeper level and download these journaling prompts for even more self discovery...........................................................As always, share this episode with your personal growth bestie and leave a review to help others find the show!Follow me on Instagram  for daily tips, inspiration and teachings on mindset, consciousness, health + wellness, and purpose.Join my Facebook group and watch my 3 day class: Your Intentional YearAnd if you enjoy this content and want to take this work even deeper then join my annual Align membership or sign up for personalized 1:1 coaching in Path to Purpose.

Welcome to the Aligned Life Podcast!A new year called for a slight refresh since we talk about more than wellness on this podcast. I am also sharing my episodes on YouTube so be sure you subscribe to my channel!This weeks' episode is about connecting to your purpose and giving meaning to your life.As I share in the episode, no one really needs to try to become more disciplined, they need to connect to their purpose and create a burning desire for more in their life, while BELIEVING they have what it takes to create more for themselves. Discipline is the effect and YOU are the cause.If you wake up with low energy and feel unenthused about your life or if you know you are here with purpose but you aren't living it at the moment, this episode is for you.As always, share this episode with your personal growth bestie and leave a review to help others find the show!Follow me on Instagram  for daily tips, inspiration and teachings on mindset, consciousness, health + wellness, and purpose.Join my Facebook group and watch my 3 day class: You Intentional YearAnd if you enjoy this content and want to take this work even deeper then join my annual Align membership or sign up for personalized 1:1 coaching in Path to Purpose.

Finding and living a purposeful life is a hot topic for people in my community and the personal growth space at large.This week I share about how we each have two paths of purpose in this life and what they each are so you can begin living on purpose and in your purpose in 2024 and beyond.To live a life of purpose you must have full belief that you are here on purpose and the people in your life are also here with purpose (even when they are triggering, frustrating, annoying, etc).Living your life in this way will bring you so much meaning and fulfillment.As I share in this episode, when you have a strong desire to "have it all" in life, you will also be tested at that same level.We will always be met where we are at.Enjoy this weeks' episode and make 2024 (and beyond) a year full of purpose and meaning for yourself.Ps.

Peak health isn't 1 thing, it's a combination of many habits that all stem from the belief "I matter".When you fully believe that you matter (and therefore your health matters), you will inevitably take steps towards creating peak health.In this weeks' episode you'll learn about how limiting believes are created, how sneaky some of those limiting beliefs can be, and why we must have radical responsibility when it comes to our beliefs if we want new outcomes in our health and wellness.Most people go about life from the belief: "I'll believe it when I see it."What I teach is that you will see it once you believe it, and of course this extends to creating peak health for yourself.If you hold active beliefs in you that:It's really hard to be healthyNo matter what you do, nothing seems to changeYou don't have time to take care of yourselfEating healthy doesn't taste good or is too time consuming or too hardetcThen you'll end up creating more of the same results because we create from our subconscious belief system.  And the thing about beliefs is that your ego will try to convince you that these aren't belief systems, this is just the truth. And that's why I share, it takes radical responsibility to change your health and your life. You have to be willing to change the way you think to get the results you want.Ps.

Last week on Instagram I put out a "No complaining challenge".Since what we think and what we speak about creates our feelings, complaining will obviously create negative feelings, and it makes sense that we should eliminate it from our life. The problem for many people is that complaining actually gives you (short term) energy in the moment, and the more you've done it, the easier it is to continue with the habit.It takes awareness and constraint to stop the habit of complaining, and also realizing that the energy you get from it is very short lived, and you'll always end up feeling worse later on.It's your attention on something that gives it life - so by you complaining you are essentially feeding that exact thing you don't want to continue.Complaining is  victim consciousness  -  you don't realize it when you are doing it, but you are getting energy from people feeling sorry for you. And as you know if you are a listener of this podcast, this puts you as the effect - not the cause of your life.If you want to create a fulfilling, aligned life then complaining has no place.Share this episode with a friend who also loves personal growth.

Self respect comes through living in alignment with your values, keeping your word with yourself and taking immaculate care of yourself + your well-being.To me, peak health is the ultimate form of self respect because it's honouring your mind and body. Peak health is not a certain body shape or size, it's quality sleep, proper hydration, consuming whole foods, daily movement you enjoy, and thinking and speaking about yourself kindly and with respect.This is the time of year where many people overeat, over drink, get less sleep and forget about their self care routines if they have them. Today's episode is a reminder that taking care of yourself is your responsibility and a great privilege - not a burden.Ps.

Have you ever felt like you're stuck in rut or lost in life?Directionless? Apathetic? Unfulfilled? Off purpose?Whatever you want to call it, I believe it can happen to all of us at one point or another.The good news is: You're never stuck!The "bad" news is: You can't blame something outside of you for why you feel this way ( >_

In this weeks' episode I share a quote from A.H Almaas on how problems and difficult situations are created for you, by a part of you that wants the best for you.This may not be everyone's belief system, but it's a part of mine and what I teach in the Align membership and adopting this belief system has helped me live a more meaningful and connected life.

This weeks' episode explains why being proactive instead of reactive, is so important. There is a 1% realm and a 99% realm. Everything starts in the spiritual (or energetic realm) first and trickles down to the physical realm but depending on our consciousness, we see and react to the physical world, forgetting there is so much we can't and don't "see" yet.Share this episode with your personal growth bestie and keep each other accountable and on track to creating a life you love.Ps.

Falling in love with your life is two parts: there's the mindset and alignment.1. Mindset: you need to have the consciousness (thoughts, beliefs and feelings) available to enjoy and love your life.2. Alignment: you need to be in authentic alignment. This is the action piece: it's a process of stripping away what doesn't belong in your life and adding in what is aligned.With these two pieces in place it's inevitable that you'll fall in love with your life.We will be focusing on falling in love with your life inside the Align membership at the end of October.

This is a powerful and deep episode to help you "see" your patterns which are causing you pain, discomfort or keeping you small. A pattern is a reoccurring theme that shows up again and again in your life. The people or circumstances may change, but the feelings you experience is the same. It's a pattern when you've experienced it two or more times.The important thing to know about patterns is that they are FOR YOU, to help you grow and heal, even though they will likely be uncomfortable and even painful.The reason it's repeating is because there is a lesson there meant for you to grow on your path that can't be avoided because you are asking for the growth!Do not miss this episode if you are wanting to deepen your personal and spiritual growth!Share this episode with your personal growth bestie and discuss what your patterns are with each other for accountability and growth.Ps.

(Pro Tip: This episode is not just for runners ;))Each of these tips is a mindset tip, even if it doesn't seem like it at first: all change first starts in the mind as a thought.

Today's episode is a fresh take on Discipline. To me, discipline is freedom, but I don't really think about how I need to be a disciplined person, I think about what I want and what's important to me, and I spend time believing it's possible, then the discipline to accomplish things follows.Discipline doesn't have to be, nor should it be, your goal. Make what you want your goal then learn how to believe in yourself. The discipline will be the effect of that embodied belief.To the women who think of discipline as sacrifice or struggle, learn to reframe it to the freedom to give yourself what you want.On a spiritual, energetic and physical level, we must earn what it is we want. We need to expand ourselves to be/do/have more. Effort (or discipline) is necessary for us to earn what we want. Discipline is about being intentional about what you want MOST over instant gratification and this is a very high level way to be. How you feel can be very fleeting and in some cases we shouldn't rely on how we feel to determine what we do. This takes awareness and practice.Listen to today's episode to learn more.Ps.

Today's episode is about wanting it all: Why you should, why people don't and what that really means.In a course I'm taking this was a quote the instructor said: "You should want it all" and he also said, "not only should you want it all, the creator also wants you to have it all" and I am very aligned to this way of thinking. I think most people don't always know themselves well enough to truly *know* what "wanting it all" means to them because we look around at friends and family and just try to keep up with what others are doing. It's about being authentic and in alignment, and using your life journey to give yourself everything you want.

For you to create a better life for yourself you need to learn how to act greater than how you feel.I'm not talking about a feeling of intuition, I'm talking about the fleeting feelings we sometimes have that we use against ourselves. The feelings that we have when we are in a reactive state.In today's episode you'll learn the difference between being reactive and proactive and how being proactive during the times you have a strong urge to be reactive is when you have the biggest opportunity to up level yourself.Ps.  Share this episode with a friend who could also benefit from this information.Pps.

I have been so excited to share this topic with you on the podcast: The Shadow Self.The shadow is the term used to refer to the parts of ourselves we deem as unacceptable or unloveable based on our early childhood experiences. If we experienced shame or pain growing up, or saw other people go through a painful or shameful time we may disown certain aspects of ourselves relating to those events and place them in our shadow. This is done in an attempt to be accepted and loved, which is the most important thing in childhood.This Fall we are going to learn about and heal our shadow's inside the Align membership through an 8 week live course. In today's podcast episode I share more about Shadow and the live online course happening this fall. If you love personal growth, you'll definitely want to be a part of this!

A couple of weeks' ago I did an episode on The Law of Resonance and I shared something I learned from Dr. Wayne Dyer: "You don't what you want you get who you are."This week I share another thought: "You don't get what you want, you get what you believe." We also unpack beliefs a bit more: how deep they can run, where they can come from, and how to learn the energy of your actions.This is a very insightful and mind expanding episode, I hope you enjoy!Ps.

This week we are talking about stress.Your mind is beyond powerful - that can be the best news ever, or not - depending on if you use or mind or let it use you.When you google the definition of stress you'll get: "Stress can be defined as a state of worry or mental tension caused by a difficult situation."How I think about stress is that it's not caused from something "out there", it's caused from "in here" (your mind).A difficult situation doesn't cause you stress, how you think about a difficult situation causes you stress. It's important to remember that we do have power over our experience on Earth but utilizing the power of our thoughts and really questioning the thoughts we think.When you learn how to think about yourself as a capable person, for example, you may experience less stress when in a difficult situation because you believe you are someone who can handle tough things.Listen in to learn more, as well as learn some tips for when you do experience stress.Ps.

Today's episode is expanding on an Instagram post I made last week: "It's amazing how you always seem to find what you look for."I share examples from my own life of times I was looking for what I didn't want and found them to help you notice how you may be doing this too in your life.It's also important to know that our mind has a negativity bias and it naturally wants to expand the "negative" as a way to keep us "safe", so become a deliberate thinker and focus on what serves you.Ps.

It's a cliche because it's true - actions do speak louder than words.It doesn't matter (necessarily) what you say or what you tell yourself or others that you believe - it matters what you actually do, it matters how you actually treat people, and it matters the energy you do it in!Today's episode I share a story about me teaching this life lesson to my two older daughters and hope that you'll benefit from it as well!Ps.

A few weeks ago I was feeling overwhelm and looping in my thoughts so I went for a run and I had the thought: "Sometimes you don't need rest, sometimes you need to move your body and work hard."There is no shortage of information, distraction and mental overstimulation these days, even just being a mom and the massive amounts of questions or loud noises your children make can all add to feeling overstimulated. These are the times you might just feel like scrolling on your phone or sitting in front of the tv for the night, but I promise you, you will feel a lot better if you move your body.When you are really in your head, moving the body is the best answer.
