This is Your Time: Align Your Goals and Ignite Your Best Year Yet

Julie Murphy • December 31, 2024
A coin is sitting on top of a pile of rocks.


Let’s get real for a moment…do you ever feel like you’re living someone else’s life? Maybe you’ve checked all the boxes: steady job, bills paid, a routine that looks good from the outside. But inside? Something’s missing.


If this resonates, you’re not alone. So many of us go through life feeling stuck, drained, and out of alignment with who we truly are. The cost? Emotional exhaustion, financial stress, and the nagging sense that this can’t be all there is.


Here’s the good news: It doesn’t have to be this way.


You can break free. You can realign your life. And you can create what I call real wealth a life of joy, purpose, and freedom that feels as good on the inside as it looks on the outside.

Let’s dive in.


1. The Cost of Staying Stuck


Why do we stay in situations that aren’t serving us? Because the devil you know feels safer than the unknown.


But let’s be honest…staying stuck comes at a price:


  • Financially: Overspending to maintain a lifestyle that doesn’t light you up, or feeling trapped in a job that’s all about survival, not joy.
  • Emotionally: Holding on to relationships, beliefs, or habits that weigh you down.
  • Energetically: Misalignment drains your energy, keeping you overwhelmed and unable to move forward.


The longer you stay misaligned, the further you drift from the life you’re meant to live.


2. Why Financial Alignment Is Non-Negotiable


Let’s talk about money…because misalignment doesn’t just show up emotionally; it shows up in your finances too.


Here’s the thing: money is a tool. And when you use it in alignment with your values, it supports a life of purpose and freedom. But when your finances are out of alignment, they create roadblocks.


Ask yourself:


  • Are you spending to keep up appearances, not because it brings you joy?
  • Are you stuck in a job you hate because you feel financially trapped?
  • Are fear and guilt driving your financial decisions?


When you bring your financial life into alignment, it stops being a source of stress and starts being a foundation for abundance.


3. Letting Go of What’s Holding You Back


Here’s a hard truth: You can’t create alignment without letting go. That might mean releasing:


  • Physical clutter: Your messy closet might be more than just “stuff”...it could be a reflection of emotional blocks.
  • Old spending habits: Look at where your money goes. Does it reflect your values, or is it tied to outdated expectations?
  • Toxic relationships: Boundaries are hard, but they’re essential to living in alignment.


Letting go isn’t always easy, but it’s the only way to create space for what truly aligns with your soul.


4. The Courage to Choose Alignment


Letting go is one thing. But stepping into alignment? That takes courage.


Alignment often means making bold choices:


  • Walking away from “safe” situations that don’t feel right anymore.
  • Facing fears about money, success, or failure.
  • Saying no to what doesn’t serve you, even if it’s uncomfortable.


Courage doesn’t mean you’re fearless…it means you take action despite the fear. Trust me, what’s waiting on the other side of change is worth it.


5. Redefining Real Wealth


Spoiler alert: wealth isn’t just about money.


After 25 years of working with clients, I’ve learned that real wealth is about alignment. It’s about:


  • Financial freedom to live on your terms.
  • Emotional well-being rooted in your values.
  • Purposeful abundance that feels joyful and fulfilling.


A big bank account without alignment feels empty. True wealth is about creating a life that makes your heart sing.


6. Why Most Resolutions Fail (and What to Do Instead)


We’ve all made resolutions to “fix” our lives. But most resolutions fail because they come from the head, not the heart.


Here’s a fun fact: Your heart’s energy field extends eight miles, compared to just two feet from your brain. When your goals align with your heart’s desires, they have the power to stick.


So this year, ditch the surface-level resolutions. Instead, focus on intentions that align with your soul’s deepest truth.


7. Your First Steps Toward Alignment


If you’re ready to break free and step into a life of alignment, here’s where to start:


  • Reflect: What feels out of alignment in your life?
  • Release: Let go of one thing—a belief, habit, or even physical clutter—that no longer serves you.
  • Take Action: Set one small, soul-aligned intention and take your first step toward it.


And if you’re ready for deeper transformation, I’ve got something special for you.
