Make Better Decisions When You Align Your Actions with Chantelle Andercastle

We all want to be in alignment because we know it’s a good thing. But what does being in alignment actually mean? And what are we aligning ourselves and our businesses to? Chantelle Andercastle joins me on the podcast today as we break down this buzzword and figure out how we can start taking aligned action. This week, episode 213 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast is about making better decisions when you align your actions!

Chantelle Andercastle is a mentor to service-based business owners and the author of the Aligned Action series for solo entrepreneurs.She offers hands-on help for clients to save time and skip steps, demystify business, and get things done in ways that feel aligned. Chantelle is the host of two popular shows, The Aligned Action Podcast and The Human Design Profiles: an Entrepreneurship Podcast.

In this episode of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, Chantelle Andercastle helps me define “alignment” and what we mean when we use it. She also gives you actionable steps to take right now to find your alignment by asking yourself, “aligned to what?”

Chantelle and I cover the following topics:

• Regularly reviewing and reflecting on your alignment ensures you are staying true to yourself and what matters to you. 
• Using tools like human design, astrology, Enneagram, Myers-Briggs, the 4 Tendencies, and others to gain insights about yourself.
• Keeping a record of your insights to be used as a foundation for decision-making that is in alignment with your mission, vision, and values.
• How system-based and inner reflections are equally important in understanding yourself.

From a productivity standpoint, once you figure out what you want to be in alignment with, you can use it as a blueprint so that every decision you make is a direct reflection of your mission, vision, and values.
