Sometimes life brings us discomfort and we’re inclined to make a major (or minor!) move or life decision. But is it really the right time? There’s a small nuance in your energy that let’s you know when the right time is to act. It will also tell you exactly what to do.

Does thinking about the change bring exhilaration or relief?

Stop everything for 30 seconds or so and put this potential change in the forefront of your mind. Feel its feeling. Does thinking about and feeling through the change bring you exhilaration? Or relief?

If the answer is exhilaration, then maybe it is time to set this particular change in motion. Exhilaration means you are feeling open, receptive, hopeful and joyous. You are acting on inspiration, and life is ushering you on to the next step in your journey.

However if relief is the primary emotion, hang out for a bit. It’s possible your desire for change is the result of fear and you’re wanting to back down. Life is most likely asking you to “rise up” and the discomfort you’re experiencing is due to the fact that right now, you’re not rising to the occasion. Don’t beat yourself up — we all do it! But also, don’t back down. Not yet, anyway.

👍 As a rule of thumb, save the big changes and life decisions to when you’re feeling really good rather than frustrated, angry, scared, unhappy or depleted.

Breathe — you’re doing amazing and you are constantly in forward motion

Life as it is in this exact moment is your perfect tool to chisel, mold and shape the next greater version of you. The perfect challenges and conditions have found you already. In a way, you called them in to you. Trust that even when you feel like you’re going backwards, it simply isn’t possible. Trial and error is a thing. Failure is a thing. But these things are not bad — they just have bad reps! Know that everything you are going through right now is happening for you, rather than to you. Show up to life fully and follow its momentum. It will show you the way and the road is supposed to be rocky sometimes. It’s ok — look at it as fun. 😉
