2. Align
Once you’ve made steps to defining the goal or vision for the new version of who you seek to become; in areas of work, and life in general, you need to take steps to align to your desired path or purpose. after which comes the flow stage.
3. Flow
Flow is the phase where things feel like they are happening with greater ease, less friction and where you are are totally in ‘the zone’. The define and align phases are where you put in the works; however, similar to planning, the define and align stages helps you have a great flow stage.
4. Grow

5. Evolve
Through periods of flow and growth, something begins to shift. It’s not just about learning and doing and understanding new things, we actually shift our ‘Being’.
