Many people seek out my services when they are in the midst of some type of life change. And although the types of change they are experiencing may differ, each person describes the manner in which their change began as by having an inner feeling – long before there was any evidence of an outer change.
You know when you don’t like your career any more, and that it’s time to look into doing something else; You know when you are no longer in alignment with your partner and it’s time to release the relationship; You know when your body is not feeling well and it’s time to make healthier life choices. But, the question remains to what, where, and how?
WHEN IT’S TIME FOR A CHANGE IN YOUR LIFE, there is always a feeling in your gut…an inner guidance, that… you-know-what-you-know feeling, and it’s called your Intuition. Some people may experience a feeling of restlessness, anxiety, or even boredom. Others may experience a knowing that something is out-of-sync. Whatever, the experience, when you consistently feel any of these signs, consider it a Divine sign that it’s time to release, loose, and let go of something that is no longer working for you.
Now, for many people, when they become uncomfortable, the pain associated with the discomfort is motivation enough to become a change agent. These are the people that when they dislike their careers, they release their passionless pursuit and find something more fitting, work to synchronize their relationships, or take conscious action to improve the quality of their health and wellness; they do whatever it takes to move into a better feeling place – a higher vibration.
The dilemma for the remainder of us comes when we allow ourselves to live with that inner knowing and the prickly feelings in our gut; instead of viewing these feelings as a Divine sign, we make the conscious decision that “oh maybe it’s not so bad, I can stick it out.” But, this is a B-I-G, colossal mistake!
“What we resist, only grows stronger!”
When we choose to ignore the signs and symptoms long enough, the Universe will Pump Up the Volume on the message it’s trying to convey. So, rather than hiding from our truths, here is a little written exercise of questions that may help you get clear about your priorities and prevent the whispering signs from turning into a full-blown crisis.
Question 1 | Who or what feeds your soul?
Hint…These might be people you enjoy spending time with or things that you enjoy doing. Begin to pay attention to the times in your life when you feel joyful, enthusiastic, passionate, and full of life energy. Write down the reasons why you enjoy these people or things so much.
Question 2 | Who or what depletes your soul?
Hint…This could be a particular situation, a habitual train-of-thought, or a specific person…a negative or non-supportive friend, partner, or co-worker, a career that no longer serves you, or a dis-ease or discomfort in your body; whatever it is that makes you feel dread, depressed, hopeless, alone, or fearful about someone or something in your life.
Question 3 | What do you need to do?
Hint…Things that fall under this category are the things that are unlikely to change overnight…such as you may need to sustain your current career until prepare for the next, or you may be obligated to remain in another situation, for the moment, due to an circumstance beyond your control.
Question 4 | What do you absolutely L-O-V-E to do?
Hint…Just for a moment, suspend any thoughts about the “how” and simply focus on what activities bring you pure joy.
Question 5 | What is your plan of action?
Hint…Review the list you just created. You should unearth some clear indication of things you need to release and the areas of your life that are depleting your soul. You will also discover what people and things make your heart sing. Your intuition guides you to the right choices through your heart.
Next, write about some small, consistent steps you are willing to take to align your life with your highest priorities; the people, things and circumstances that make you happiest. Remember, if you ignore all the messages you receive about your unsatisfactory life, the signs begin to manifest as symptoms in your body…headaches, fatigue, depression, ulcers, and other dis-ease. However, when you learn to honor the wisdom of what you know…your intuition, you will find that a Divine force rallies behind you to support your highest and best good.
