Planning by Era=Game changer: Introducing the Aligned Living notebook

For the first few months of 2025 I’ve been flirting with my planning system to focus it more on supporting my alignment than glorifying tasks and dates.  While I’m driven I also have big goals for this year (anyone who knows me knows I’m always reaching for the stars) I wanted the way I feel this year to take the front seat and trust me I plan on feeling REALLY good.  

If you missed my 2025 Alignment planner set up you can read the full blog here.  In it I described that I have a dedicated place where my inner work and desire are recorded.  At first this started out on plain paper as a continued list of things that I wanted to keep at the front of my mind and heart. Fast forward I can introduce The Aligned Living Notebook and it's been a game changer! Why? Change does require new habits and plans. It also requires maintenance in between.  Let’s be honest, making the decision to change your habits isn’t often where we fall short.  Generally we fall short in the continual work, the valleys, and moments where we might not see light at the end of the tunnel. Insert The Aligned Living Notebook. 

When I wrote the Aligned Living Playbook this was the very tool that helped us establish the desire that we wanted, which helped identify the actual habits that are needed to start the new journey we are on.  The Aligned Living Notebook picks right up from where the ALP places us.  

Why I’m obsessed with The Aligned Living Notebook and you will be too:

Planning by life season vs a calendar the world operates on: 

There are multiple Bloom Guides features that help us to make plans around the desires of our Love List.  Career or business planning, New soft life habits, Intentionally dating, in your homemaking era or stepping into a season focusing on your health?  More often than not these seasons don’t line up perfectly with the standard quarters of the year.

Guided weekly areas to keep your “Why” and “Wins” at the forefront of your focus:

Dedicated areas to ward off the valley’s, celebrate what you’ve done and remember the “wins” that are revealed as you continue to show up for yourself.

Undated Monthly and weekly calendar layouts:

Start where you are no matter what is happening around you.  Being on the offense of our next era allows us to operate in the world as our highest self imaginable.  The tools we have in support of this make all the difference in the world.

Higher self and Next Era bookclub: 

I’ve been a planner enthusiast for a very long time.  The community I find in them has helped me develop some of the greatest skills and best friendships.  It was only right to develop one that compliments the soul work we are doing in the Aligned Living Notebook.  It meets monthly to give us a space to discuss our new seasons and support each other's inner work.

Alignment is so much closer than we think!
