How many times are you shocked when a disaster happens like a relationship ends or the end of your career? Did you foresee it going to happen? What if I told you the signs that something might happen were there in front of you or that you can know before it surprises you? Well, you can and it is possible. We know that we go through routine and every routine has a start, middle and end fueled by energy. What stage of the cycle we are in, and how much of the energy is available, shows up for us in three different areas:
Physically
Have you ever noticed how your body responds when you start something new and exciting? It’s almost as if your body is being pulled forward without any exertion. What happens when that energy starts to dissipate? It’s almost as if you have to be pushed along from behind, right? The exertion is evident. You may not be a morning person, but can you tell how much easier it is to get out of bed when you are getting up for something that you are looking forward to? Your body is an acute barometer for the energy fueling aspects of your life. Notice fatigue or inertia as a response before you see a long-time love? Your body gives your signs to look out for. They mean big changes are on the horizon.
Mentally
But what about imagination? That is a good thing, right? Yes, as long as your imagination is getting you to act in your present. If your imagination comes up with a great idea that improves your work life, that’s a good sign. If your imagination makes you a better lover and shakes up your love life for the better, that’s healthy. If your thoughts affect your present, it means you’re safe on solid ground.
Emotionally
How much of the routine activities (dates or dinners or weekly business meetings) bring you satisfaction and enjoyment? If the habitual engages a flatness, or you start to notice you need more, the clock is ticking. These areas are all within your expertise and your awareness. When we close off our awareness to any of these areas, we put ourselves in the position of being surprised. The trigger seems to get pulled by someone else and that gets our attention. Yet, you actually have everything you need to get the tip-offs that you are ready for the next big changes. Start noticing. And remember, I am here to help you read those signs.
