Ever had a “Hello?? God?? Are you even there?? It’s me, Margaret?” moment in your life?
Those who can’t get enough of the Aging Fiercely Podcast 🤙 may recall that last week I asked the Universe for a sign to let me know if I was on the right path, making the right moves, firing off one badass decision after another—in other words, I desperately wanted validation that the Universe—God, Goddess, or Frank, whatever you call “It”—saw me, and I hadn’t been forgotten… like Margaret.
Well… fast-forward to earlier this week 🤔, when the Universe orchestrated a moment so small, an effort so tiny that it may have been missed had I not tried to entertain my kid with vases that looked like little carnivals. (It’ll make sense when you listen 🤷🏻♀️.)
In retrospect, I realized I had some work to do before any sign could appear. You see, when you ask for a sign but realize waiting around isn't the most productive thing to do, you have a choice. You can simply stop waiting and go on as per usual, or you can do something more powerful: open yourself up to new feelings and thoughts you'd like to experience, while—now this is important!—staying vigilant about preventing old thinking patterns from trying to sneak back in. You’re constantly course-correcting, monitoring your inner chatter—every 10 seconds if you have to—to catch yourself before you slip back into familiar mental grooves.
This is how you begin to become intentional.
This intentionality produces an unfamiliar decision-making power that doesn't reflect your usual approach, style, or brand. It's an entirely different way of operating. And if you choose to go down THAT path, well then that’s when something shifts so deep within, you finally get what you need.
In today’s episode, I explain how shifting my thoughts and focusing on my feelings created the change that finally brought the validation. Otherwise, I don’t believe it would have come. This speaks to the power of hearing what’s going on in your mind, and deciding to change not only where you place your focus, but how you feeeeeel within, and how that feeling-shift can translate into inspired action, which then makes all the difference.
