Hey sis,

Last week, we talked about balance—and the realization that not every burner in our lives can be turned to high at the same time.

But once you decide something has to change, there’s another question:

What actually deserves more of your time?

Sometimes we put pressure on ourselves to already know the answer.

I know I did.

But what I’ve learned is that alignment doesn’t always start with knowing exactly what you want.

Sometimes, you have to create enough space to find out.

​​🎙️ A Note from Nikia on Alignment (click here to listen)​​

After burning out, one of the first things I did was create more space in my life.

And for the first time in a long time, I had room to explore—to try things I thought I might enjoy.

Some of those things eventually became things I loved.

But creating space to discover what matters is only the beginning.

You also have to protect what you discover.

Today’s Takeaway

Alignment doesn’t require you to already know exactly what you want.

Create space to get curious.

Explore the things you think you might enjoy. And when you discover something you want more of, protect it.

You don’t have to know first.

Some things you can’t think your way into.

You have to experience your way into the answer..

This Week’s Reflection

What have you been curious about but haven’t given yourself enough space to explore?

This Week’s Reflection

Protect Before You Produce.

Choose one thing you’re curious about—or one thing you’ve already discovered you love—and put it on your calendar first.

Then protect the space you created for it.

You don’t need to redesign your entire life this week.

Just give yourself enough room to discover what you might want more of.
