16 Uncomfortable Feelings That Actually Indicate Youāre On The Right Path
1. Feeling as though you are reliving your childhood struggles.You find that youāre seeing issues you struggled with as a kid reappear in your adult life, and while on the surface this may seem like a matter of not having overcome them, it really means you are becoming conscious of why you think and feel, so you can change it.
2. Feeling ālost,ā or directionless. Feeling lost is actually a sign youāre becoming more present in your life ā youāre living less within the narratives and ideas that you premeditated, and more in the moment at hand. Until youāre used to this, it will feel as though youāre off track (you arenāt).
3. āLeft brainā fogginess. When youāre utilizing the right hemisphere more often (youāre becoming more intuitive, youāre dealing with emotions, youāre creating) sometimes it can seem as though āleft brainā functions leave you feeling fuzzy. Things like focusing, organizing, remembering small details suddenly become difficult.
4. Having random influxes of irrational anger or sadness that intensify until you canāt ignore them anymore. When emotions erupt itās usually because theyāre ācoming upā to be recognized, and our job is to learn to stop grappling with them or resisting them, and to simply become fully conscious of them (after that, we control them, not the opposite way around).
5. Experiencing unpredictable and scattered sleeping patterns.Youāll need to sleep a lot more or a lot less, youāll wake up in the middle of the night because you canāt stop thinking about something, you find yourself full of energy or completely exhausted, and with little in-between.
6. A life-changing event is taking place, or just has. You suddenly having to move, getting divorced, losing a job, having a car break down, etc.
7. Having an intense need to be alone. Youāre suddenly disenchanted with the idea of spending every weekend out socializing, and other peopleās problems are draining you more than they are intriguing you. This means youāre re-calibrating.
8. Intense, vivid dreaming that you almost always remember in detail. If dreams are how your subconscious mind communicates with you (or projects an image of your experience) then yours is definitely trying to say something. Youāre having dreams at an intensity that youāve never experienced before.
9. Downsizing your friend group; feeling more and more uncomfortable around negative people. The thing about negative people is that they rarely realize they are negative, and because you feel uncomfortable saying anything (and youāre even more uncomfortable keeping that in your life) youāre ghosting a bit on old friends.
10. Feeling like the dreams you had for your life are collapsing.What you do not realize at this moment is that it is making way for a reality better than you could have thought of, one thatās more aligned with who you are, not who you thought you would be.
11. Feeling as though your worst enemy are your thoughts.Youāre beginning to realize that your thoughts do create your experience, and itās often not until weāre pushed to our witās end that we even try to take control of them ā and thatās when we realize that we were in control all along.
12. Feeling unsure of who you really are. Your past illusions about who you āshouldā be are dissolving. You feel unsure because it is uncertain! Youāre in the process of evolving, and we donāt become uncertain when we change for the worse (we become angry and closed off). In other words: if what youāre experiencing is insecurity or uncertainty, itās usually going to lead to something better.
13. Recognizing how far you still have to go. When you realize this, itās because you can also see where youāre headed, it means you finally know where and who you want to be.
14. āKnowingā things you donāt want to know. Such as what someone is really feeling, or that a relationship isnāt going to last, or that you wonāt be at your job much longer. A lot of āirrationalā anxiety comes from subconsciously sensing something, yet not taking it seriously because it isnāt logical.
15. Having a radically intense desire to speak up for yourself.Becoming angry with how much youāve let yourself be walked on, or how much youāve let other peopleās voices get into your head is a sign that youāre finally ready to stop listening, and love yourself by respecting yourself first.
16. Realizing you are the only person responsible for your life, and your happiness. This kind of emotional autonomy is terrifying, because it means that if you mess up, itās all on you. At the same time, realizing it is the only way to be truly free. The risk is worth the reward on this one, always
