You don’t have to hit bottom before making changes. Instead, there’s a way to read the signs and know when it’s time to go in another direction.
These people were ready to go off the deep end and drown in a pool of their own outrage.
• A businesswoman got upset when she received information that stopped an important deal in its tracks.
• Because her boss has it in for her, another woman wondered if she should leave her job.
• Ready to begin his vacation, a man got angry when he discovered his property had been trashed.
However, when they noticed their emotions were getting the best of them, each stepped back, observed and course corrected by changing their attitudes.
What was the sign that alerted them to shift?
They didn’t feel good because they were angry. From this awareness, they knew they were on the wrong track and out-of-alignment with their inner GPS. When emotions are high, it clouds our ability to hear guidance accurately that comes from our Essence.
A clue that let’s you know if you’re going in the right direction is how you feel.

What can you do if you’re not happy about something? Empower yourself by releasing the emotions and be open to take action on new options.
That can take some practice, and it’s an acquired skill.
Yet the faster you notice you’re not feeling good, before momentum runs away to the point of no return, the easier it is to redirect your focus to more productive perspectives and solutions.
By the way, that’s what each one in the above examples did.
Each discovered great resolutions to their issues. How? They made conscious choices not to let their emotions get the best of them. They paused, pivoted and headed in a new direction.
It doesn’t matter if it’s a new challenge or if you’re wondering how the heck your life got to this point; you can choose now to change direction.
Don’t feel bad and spin your wheels wondering why you’re on a particular track. Just make a decision to change.
No sense in beating yourself up, either, as it doesn’t help.
You’re definitely not alone in needing to change direction. It’s so common, we have lots of way of saying it.
• Get a fresh start
• Begin a new chapter
• Do-over
• Turn this ship around
• Turn a new leaf
• Pivot
• Course correct
• Shift gears
The good news is that you’re alive so there’s time for a change, even if it’s just your attitude.
Are you going in the right direction?
Well, are you having fun yet?
Sometimes all it takes is changing the way you see things for the answers to make themselves known.
