Do you ever set a goal that feels like it's living on another planet? Starting a side hustle, landing that dream internship, or finally writing that novel – these are "stretch goals," the ones that make us dream big but also wonder how we'll ever accomplish them. In this post I'll cover how using vibrational alignment can help you achieve these big aspirations for your life.
What Is a Stretch Goal?
A stretch goal is a specific target that’s above or beyond what you normally aim to achieve. These types of goals require a solid motivation and a mindset focused on discovering new opportunities and solutions because it is a new level of results you're after.
Why Are Stretch Goals Important?
A stretch goal pushes you out of your comfort zone. You have to cross familiar boundaries into new feelings, new actions and new ideas, Essentially, you're transitioning your energy from old to new so that you can match the level or energy your new goal requires of you to make it a reality.
Why Are Stretch Goals Useful?
In order to reach a next-level goal, you’ll have to use different methods and strategies that you most likely never used before.
One thing I've learned is that growth is always outside of our comfort zone, and we all have to get comfortable being uncomfortable to achieve our full potential.
What Is Vibrational Alignment?
Vibrational alignment is when your mind, body, spirit and energy work together in a flow state to live as your true, authentic self.
How Are They Connected?
These higher level goals can feel intimidating, right? That's where vibrational alignment comes in. Think of it as this: the closer your energy (or "vibe") matches the energy of your goal, the easier it becomes to reach it.
It's like tuning into a specific radio station – the clearer the signal, the better the reception.
Vibrational alignment helps us get that crystal-clear connection with our goals, making the journey to achieving them feel more exciting and less overwhelming.

According to the article written by Rebecca Joy Stanborough, MFA, for Healthline, “Your body is composed of energy-producing particles, each of which is in constant motion. So, like everything and everyone else in the universe, you are vibrating and creating energy.”
