WEBVTT 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:07.019 Welcome, welcome, welcome. Friday Night Live, 00:00:07.280 --> 00:00:08.779 Friday Night Live. Welcome, welcome, welcome. 00:00:10.460 --> 00:00:11.839 All right, we're just gonna do a quick check 00:00:11.839 --> 00:00:16.239 -in. We are live, 12 seconds in. Let me see what's 00:00:16.239 --> 00:00:21.100 happening here. There we go. What's up, Facebook? 00:00:22.660 --> 00:00:26.539 How we doing? Hey, what's up, YouTube? Hey, we're 00:00:26.539 --> 00:00:30.149 getting this thing figured out, man. I just can't 00:00:30.149 --> 00:00:32.350 look at LinkedIn. I don't know. I'm pretty sure 00:00:32.350 --> 00:00:36.369 that that already always works. So we're gonna 00:00:36.369 --> 00:00:40.109 just do that there. All right. Again, welcome, 00:00:40.210 --> 00:00:44.770 welcome, welcome. The chat is live. Hello, everyone. 00:00:47.170 --> 00:00:51.149 How awesome is that? All right, y 'all. Friday 00:00:51.149 --> 00:00:55.409 Night Live. This is actually session four of 00:00:55.409 --> 00:01:00.950 the alignment reset series. And this is the last 00:01:00.950 --> 00:01:04.329 session for the alignment reset series. But what 00:01:04.329 --> 00:01:06.489 we'll also be doing is that we're going to continue 00:01:06.489 --> 00:01:09.609 to do Friday Night Live and eventually we will 00:01:09.609 --> 00:01:13.829 have guests and all that stuff, right? So man, 00:01:13.989 --> 00:01:16.629 just welcome, welcome, welcome. My name is El 00:01:16.629 --> 00:01:20.609 Michael Burt, as you may know. And tonight we 00:01:20.609 --> 00:01:24.069 are closing out the alignment reset series. And 00:01:24.069 --> 00:01:27.069 it's not because alignment is finished, but because 00:01:27.069 --> 00:01:30.359 this is a point where it stops being something 00:01:30.359 --> 00:01:32.180 that we talk about or think about and starts 00:01:32.180 --> 00:01:35.739 being something that you practice, I practice, 00:01:35.840 --> 00:01:38.299 we practice, us, we practice, right? So over 00:01:38.299 --> 00:01:41.079 the last few weeks, we've been talking about 00:01:41.079 --> 00:01:44.959 disruption, identity shifts, identity, and the 00:01:44.959 --> 00:01:49.680 in -between space where the old you been operating, 00:01:50.519 --> 00:01:52.700 it just doesn't really work anymore. But the 00:01:52.700 --> 00:01:55.099 next way hasn't really taken full shape yet, 00:01:55.120 --> 00:01:58.180 right? And that space brings up a lot of you 00:01:58.180 --> 00:02:00.420 know, just brings up a lot of stuff for people. 00:02:00.760 --> 00:02:03.079 And it's not because something is wrong, but 00:02:03.079 --> 00:02:07.079 because in that space, awareness of where you 00:02:07.079 --> 00:02:10.680 are, who you're becoming, all that stuff is really 00:02:10.680 --> 00:02:14.620 increasing. And awareness has a way, man does 00:02:14.620 --> 00:02:20.460 it, it has a way of showing you where your life 00:02:20.460 --> 00:02:27.080 isn't coherent yet, right? So in short, alignment 00:02:27.080 --> 00:02:31.699 lives in practice. It shows up in how you move 00:02:31.699 --> 00:02:35.319 through the day, how you make decisions, how 00:02:35.319 --> 00:02:40.000 your internal friction, it's like, how is it, 00:02:40.539 --> 00:02:44.740 how is it really working within you? Right? And 00:02:44.740 --> 00:02:48.060 it kind of shows you also where alignment, when 00:02:48.060 --> 00:02:52.599 alignment is present. And there's less arguing. 00:02:52.819 --> 00:02:55.460 So there's less arguing with yourself. There's 00:02:55.460 --> 00:03:00.740 like, less explaining, less mental noise. And 00:03:00.740 --> 00:03:04.479 this is not saying that things necessarily become 00:03:04.479 --> 00:03:07.740 easier. But what I would say the way that I describe 00:03:07.740 --> 00:03:11.719 it is that it becomes cleaner. It shows up cleaner, 00:03:12.439 --> 00:03:14.939 cleaner in your language, cleaner in your actions 00:03:14.939 --> 00:03:18.520 and your and all of that stuff that tension is 00:03:18.520 --> 00:03:20.860 pointed in the same direction. So one of the 00:03:20.860 --> 00:03:23.560 ways that you can tell alignment is forming is 00:03:23.560 --> 00:03:26.909 by paying attention. to where coherence starts 00:03:26.909 --> 00:03:29.650 to show up. So when that starts to show up, just 00:03:29.650 --> 00:03:32.629 say, just look at your language. How you talk 00:03:32.629 --> 00:03:35.530 to yourself when no one else is listening. And 00:03:35.530 --> 00:03:38.250 I would say that a line language is direct. It's 00:03:38.250 --> 00:03:41.370 simple. There's less story around why something 00:03:41.370 --> 00:03:45.270 is showing up or why it's not showing up or why 00:03:45.270 --> 00:03:47.430 things are happening or why it's not happening. 00:03:48.849 --> 00:03:53.490 Then also what I notice in my life is that it 00:03:53.490 --> 00:03:57.930 shows up in your body. You know, it shows up 00:03:57.930 --> 00:04:04.710 when things are not subtle or settled. It shows 00:04:04.710 --> 00:04:08.810 up in your decisions when things feel clear or 00:04:08.810 --> 00:04:12.330 even if they're uncomfortable. And then as I 00:04:12.330 --> 00:04:14.270 look at my calendar, I looked at my calendar 00:04:14.270 --> 00:04:17.170 over a few weeks when it's full or when it's 00:04:17.170 --> 00:04:22.430 empty or when it's scattered. That's where alignment 00:04:22.430 --> 00:04:24.430 or the lack of alignment kind of shows up too. 00:04:24.620 --> 00:04:29.600 And in all of that, it's not judgment. So don't 00:04:29.600 --> 00:04:32.019 judge yourself when you see yourself or feel 00:04:32.019 --> 00:04:36.620 yourself being incoherent or when language doesn't 00:04:36.620 --> 00:04:40.560 feel clean. It's just something to notice. And 00:04:40.560 --> 00:04:44.300 what it shows up for me now is information. So 00:04:44.300 --> 00:04:46.300 I don't judge myself when I'm not in alignment. 00:04:46.980 --> 00:04:49.060 I just notice. I'm like, ah, man, I'm not in 00:04:49.060 --> 00:04:53.420 alignment. I get back into alignment, all right? 00:04:54.420 --> 00:04:58.079 And there's no real effort there. It's just being 00:04:58.079 --> 00:05:01.040 still. So alignment doesn't necessarily come 00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:04.139 from a lot of effort, but what it does come up 00:05:04.139 --> 00:05:08.480 as is subtraction. So listen, I had a conversation 00:05:08.480 --> 00:05:13.319 today with my friend and producer where I may 00:05:13.319 --> 00:05:16.220 need to close one of my businesses. And it's 00:05:16.220 --> 00:05:19.100 not because something went wrong or something 00:05:19.100 --> 00:05:23.310 was off. but because it no longer belongs where 00:05:23.310 --> 00:05:25.029 the holding company, the Orion script is going. 00:05:25.589 --> 00:05:28.550 And it may simply just be complete. And it is 00:05:28.550 --> 00:05:30.790 just like something that I no longer need. And 00:05:30.790 --> 00:05:34.170 it's no longer what I need to hold onto anymore. 00:05:35.350 --> 00:05:38.910 So alignment happens when you stop maintaining 00:05:38.910 --> 00:05:41.589 patterns, commitments and internal agreements 00:05:41.589 --> 00:05:45.589 that require like constant self negotiation. 00:05:45.970 --> 00:05:49.110 So That's where I was. I was negotiating this, 00:05:49.769 --> 00:05:53.050 negotiating that within myself. So in other words, 00:05:54.529 --> 00:05:57.290 in a simpler way, alignment happens when you 00:05:57.290 --> 00:06:00.009 withdraw agreement from ways of being that no 00:06:00.009 --> 00:06:03.370 longer belong and the familiarity of it loses 00:06:03.370 --> 00:06:07.009 its power and authority as a truth. So that's 00:06:07.009 --> 00:06:09.129 what I'm experiencing right now as I'm talking 00:06:09.129 --> 00:06:12.649 to you. What I'm going through right now is exactly 00:06:12.649 --> 00:06:16.980 that. So when that stops, when the The lack of 00:06:16.980 --> 00:06:21.100 familiarity and the authority, when that stops, 00:06:21.399 --> 00:06:23.680 and what I'm noticing is that my energy, their 00:06:23.680 --> 00:06:28.139 energy stabilizes. That's what people call the 00:06:28.139 --> 00:06:31.620 vibrational piece. All right? It's not positive 00:06:31.620 --> 00:06:35.100 thinking. It's really consistency of state, state 00:06:35.100 --> 00:06:38.819 of being, which is a coherence. And coherence 00:06:38.819 --> 00:06:42.660 reorganizes things around you. And this is a 00:06:42.660 --> 00:06:45.120 powerful, this is the powerful space right here. 00:06:46.759 --> 00:06:51.139 without force so coherence reorganize things 00:06:51.139 --> 00:06:55.939 around you without force and What the powerful 00:06:55.939 --> 00:07:01.199 thing around that is this There's a lot of times 00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:03.459 many times when I'm trying to force something 00:07:03.459 --> 00:07:07.339 and It doesn't work out. So over the past. I 00:07:07.339 --> 00:07:11.139 don't know how many years I've been in and out 00:07:11.139 --> 00:07:13.040 of alignment up and down trying to figure things 00:07:13.040 --> 00:07:17.319 out and When I'm in trying to force something, 00:07:17.360 --> 00:07:20.240 in the space of trying to force something, it 00:07:20.240 --> 00:07:23.579 doesn't work out. And when I look back, maybe 00:07:23.579 --> 00:07:26.939 a month later, I've been running this race and 00:07:26.939 --> 00:07:29.459 I'm in the same space and nothing's changed. 00:07:29.899 --> 00:07:31.839 And I know some of you may have experienced that 00:07:31.839 --> 00:07:34.620 yourself and that's the lack of coherence. And 00:07:34.620 --> 00:07:40.379 so as I'm practicing alignment with myself and 00:07:41.649 --> 00:07:44.009 understanding where I'm going and what I'm creating 00:07:44.009 --> 00:07:50.370 and who I'm being, I get to say, I get to do 00:07:50.370 --> 00:07:53.470 this thing without force, without forcing outcome, 00:07:53.990 --> 00:07:58.089 right? And one of the most powerful things that 00:07:58.089 --> 00:08:00.949 I get to experience is that I can't do this in 00:08:00.949 --> 00:08:04.490 isolation. And this is why community matters, 00:08:04.790 --> 00:08:09.290 right? So practicing alignment is hard to sustain 00:08:09.290 --> 00:08:12.290 in isolation. And that's why I'm glad I have 00:08:12.290 --> 00:08:14.910 someone who is really on the same vibration, 00:08:14.990 --> 00:08:19.310 understands where I'm at so that they can listen 00:08:19.310 --> 00:08:22.910 to me and understand where I'm at and then spit 00:08:22.910 --> 00:08:25.350 it back to me. I mean, and like, not spit, but 00:08:25.350 --> 00:08:31.250 you know what I'm saying? Just say it back to 00:08:31.250 --> 00:08:35.029 me and in the words that they use, but let me 00:08:35.029 --> 00:08:37.769 know that they hear me, right? So get community, 00:08:37.929 --> 00:08:40.639 right? Community matters. And again, practice 00:08:40.639 --> 00:08:42.759 alignment is not something that you show up as 00:08:42.759 --> 00:08:44.860 and it's always like it's all where it's just 00:08:44.860 --> 00:08:50.759 there. It's a practice and Friday Night Live 00:08:50.759 --> 00:08:56.159 exists. So what we what we practice doesn't stay 00:08:56.159 --> 00:08:58.419 abstract, you know, apply it to who you are, 00:08:58.460 --> 00:09:00.200 your life, where you're going, what you're creating 00:09:00.200 --> 00:09:03.159 for your life. And these Friday Night Lives, 00:09:03.220 --> 00:09:06.220 it's really a place where you could experience 00:09:06.220 --> 00:09:09.759 that. where you get to slow down, ask questions, 00:09:09.879 --> 00:09:13.059 ask better questions, and just stay connected 00:09:13.059 --> 00:09:18.940 while things are unfolding, okay? And I'm just 00:09:18.940 --> 00:09:24.659 getting my little links ready up here. So if 00:09:24.659 --> 00:09:27.539 you want to stay connected with what we're building 00:09:27.539 --> 00:09:31.080 here, I really invite you to get on the newsletter 00:09:31.080 --> 00:09:37.809 and stay connected with us. And here is the link. 00:09:39.330 --> 00:09:41.350 And just really stay connected with us, you know? 00:09:41.389 --> 00:09:44.070 So I invite you to do that. Just get on that 00:09:44.070 --> 00:09:46.370 newsletter, stay connected, click on that link, 00:09:46.389 --> 00:09:47.909 or you can't click unless you're in the studio, 00:09:47.990 --> 00:09:50.870 but click on that link and get connected with 00:09:50.870 --> 00:09:52.970 us. And that's where we share what's unfolding, 00:09:53.730 --> 00:09:56.970 how to stay connected, like I said, to the work 00:09:56.970 --> 00:10:01.590 and community as we continue to grow and do the 00:10:01.590 --> 00:10:05.799 things. in a space where alignment just shows 00:10:05.799 --> 00:10:09.279 up for us, right? Doing the work. And if the 00:10:09.279 --> 00:10:13.259 alignment work is resonating and you want something 00:10:13.259 --> 00:10:16.700 you can spend time in and with between the conversations 00:10:16.700 --> 00:10:20.440 that we have, I wanna invite you to just check 00:10:20.440 --> 00:10:22.639 out the Empowered Path. And it's designed to 00:10:22.639 --> 00:10:26.279 support the kind of inner work that we've been 00:10:26.279 --> 00:10:29.269 talking about by giving you structure. reflection, 00:10:29.710 --> 00:10:31.409 and just the space to orient yourself without 00:10:31.409 --> 00:10:34.690 rushing the process. And the first chapter is 00:10:34.690 --> 00:10:37.230 available. And let me put that link up there 00:10:37.230 --> 00:10:46.850 for you. Yep, that link is up. There we go. And 00:10:46.850 --> 00:10:51.970 that first chapter is available. So, hey, get 00:10:51.970 --> 00:10:54.450 it. You know, take your time. Let it meet you 00:10:54.450 --> 00:10:58.379 where you are. And just, you know, just just 00:10:58.379 --> 00:11:00.899 consume it right so but this is going to be a 00:11:00.899 --> 00:11:05.700 short session uh today and before we close i 00:11:05.700 --> 00:11:07.539 really want to tell you about what's coming up 00:11:07.539 --> 00:11:11.039 next but because next week's conversation or 00:11:11.039 --> 00:11:12.940 this week's conversation carries on forward in 00:11:12.940 --> 00:11:15.860 a powerful way to next week conversation on the 00:11:15.860 --> 00:11:18.320 podcast i'm talking to and have sitting down 00:11:18.320 --> 00:11:21.539 with caleb mathews and caleb he helps people 00:11:21.539 --> 00:11:24.639 uh discover their true purpose and live confidence 00:11:25.240 --> 00:11:28.639 And our conversation goes deep into slowing down, 00:11:28.779 --> 00:11:32.120 listening, and recognizing what life has already 00:11:32.120 --> 00:11:34.500 communicated to you. So we talk about purpose, 00:11:34.620 --> 00:11:38.879 identity, over -stimulation. We talk about dreams, 00:11:40.019 --> 00:11:42.740 not being able to dream, dreaming, and all that 00:11:42.740 --> 00:11:48.139 good stuff. And also what he calls seeing the 00:11:48.139 --> 00:11:51.539 link in your life that most people kind of miss 00:11:51.539 --> 00:11:55.759 out because they're moving too fast. And we get 00:11:55.759 --> 00:12:01.279 to do that. Let's just kind of what the world 00:12:01.279 --> 00:12:03.759 is about right now, just moving too fast and 00:12:03.759 --> 00:12:06.960 not being present. And I remember asking him 00:12:06.960 --> 00:12:10.000 a question that really opened things up. And 00:12:10.000 --> 00:12:14.759 it was this. Let me get it here. What has life 00:12:14.759 --> 00:12:18.799 been trying to teach you lately that you could 00:12:18.799 --> 00:12:24.080 only learn by slowing down and listening?
