The universe is trying to tell Me something
Spoiler alert: This post is all about me and what the universe is telling me. Think of it as a public journal entry. I have a feeling some or most of you will relate to what I am experiencing.
I am all over the place these days! I am having trouble focusing on the here and now? My brain is a bit foggy. I switch gears in the middle of doing one thing to do another. My physical well-being is on the fritz - I tested positive for COVID for the 1st time. I thought I was invincible - immune to COVID. Nope. My emotions are all over the place too. I am happy one minute and sad the next. There was a scene in a show I was watching that just did me in…I was sobbing. What the heck! Seriously!
The more my mental, physical, and emotional well-being goes astray, the more unfocused I become. I shared the fact that I tested positive for COVID with some very astute coaches. The key takeaway is that this downtime is a gift - everything I think I need to do can wait. It’s a time to be still, be aware, and watch for messages from the universe.
So that is what I’m doing. I am slowly becoming acutely aware of why I am unfocused, physically depleted, and emotionally drained.
First, I am grieving the loss of my parents - my father a few months ago and my mother six years ago. It comes out of nowhere. That’s the way grief works. My desire to talk to them is deep and profound.
Second, I am in transition. In fact, I have been in a constant state of change and transition for close to 10 months now including a relocation and a loss. I would normally be close to settled in my new life except for the fact that I plan to move again. I feel untethered, ungrounded, and exhausted.
I honestly don’t know when these feelings are going to subside. What I do know is that it’s my job to be still and experience it all. It’s not going to be pretty or comfortable, yet, it’s absolutely necessary.
The universe is chiming in. It’s giving me wise, caring friends for guidance and reminding me that what I am experiencing is to be expected and actually has a purpose. It’s showing me what is important and what can be left behind. My intuition is playing a role too. In fact, it’s a potent combination when combined with the universe.
So all of you who are going through something, slow down and listen to what the universe and your intuition are telling you. There’s wisdom there.
