The Vibe Check-In: A Gentler Way to Stay in Alignment

I recently saw a video from a well-known “manifestation specialist” suggesting a hack to stay in alignment throughout the day: set numerous alarms on your phone as reminders to check your vibration and make sure it matches what you’re trying to manifest.

So, I tried it.
I really did.

But I didn’t even make it two weeks.

As it turns out, being jolted out of flow every 90 minutes by a robotic alarm didn’t raise my vibe — it tanked it. And it didn’t just stress me out… it rattled everyone around me too. The constant buzzing started to feel less like alignment and more like anxiety.

While I can absolutely see how this technique might be powerful for someone else — especially if they thrive on structure or reminders — it just wasn’t for me. It felt more like spiritual micromanaging than spiritual embodiment.

So I gave it some thought. I sat with the intention behind the idea — the desire to stay present and in sync with my energy — and asked myself:

“How can I check in with myself throughout the day… in a way that feels natural, peaceful, and supportive?”

And a few gentle ideas came forward.

Here Are My Favorite Vibe Check-In Practices (No Alarms Required):

🌿 1. Anchor Your Check-In to Daily Rituals

Instead of setting a timer, attach your check-ins to something you already do:

When you make your tea or coffee
When you wash your hands
When you get into your car or open your computer

Each time, ask yourself:

“How do I feel right now? Am I in alignment with how I want to feel?”

This creates rhythm, not disruption.

✨ 2. Use Physical Anchors

Carry a small object — like a crystal, a ring, or even a coin — and let it become your “vibe touchstone.” Every time you notice or touch it, pause and take a deep breath.

Let that breath be your reminder:

“Realignment is always one breath away.”

🌕 3. Use the Moon Phases as Bigger Check-In Points

Instead of trying to force micro-alignments all day, zoom out and work with natural rhythms.
In my 28-day manifestation journey, we follow the CBAR cycle — Conceive, Believe, Achieve, Receive — aligned with the moon’s phases. Each phase invites a deeper self-check-in, naturally.

🌀 4. Ask One Grounding Question Each Day

Instead of checking your vibe constantly, anchor into one question in the morning and revisit it at night. Here are a few to try:

“What energy do I want to bring into today?”
“What would being in alignment feel like today?”
“What would it look like to let today be enough?”

You can keep a small Vibration Journal (even just a few lines a day!) to track what comes up. I include this practice in my 1:1 coaching sessions — especially for folks who prefer a less visual approach to manifestation.

💜 5. Let Your Body Be Your Feedback System

Your nervous system is wiser than your phone.
Tight jaw? Racing heart? Brain fog? Your body is already signaling that something’s out of sync.
Joyful sigh? Soft shoulders? Clear mind? That’s alignment, baby.

The more you practice tuning in to how you feel — not just what you're thinking — the more natural these check-ins become.

Alignment Doesn’t Have to Be Loud

What I’ve learned is that staying in alignment doesn’t require constant effort, or external alerts, or spiritual over-engineering.

It requires presence.
Curiosity.
Self-trust.

And sometimes, it means ditching someone else’s hack and crafting your own sacred rhythm instead.

So if alarms aren’t your thing, know this: You’re not doing it wrong.
There are softer ways. Wiser ways. Ways that meet you exactly where you are.
