10 (Unexpected) Signs You’re On the Right Path & Leveling Up
“Nothing can stop me, I’m all the way up”- Fat Joe
You can be the most confident and secure person in the room, but still need validation and approval. Wanna know why? Because we are hardwired for approval. It is quite literally in our genetics from like…forever ago. I’m talkin’ caveman days. We needed it in order to stick together in groups for our survival. So, if you ever feel like you’d really like to know if you are on the right path in life or not, here are some tell-tale signs you are- including some weird ones. (Disclaimer: if these do not resonate with you, it doesn’t mean you are on the wrong path, either- these are simply some signs I have noticed when I am in alignment to my personal path that you may relate to also).
1- Signs & Synchronicities- Yep, we’re starting with a classic one. Whether you consider yourself a spiritual person or not, if you’re open to seeing more than what meets the eye you will notice what may be considered signs or synchronicities. This can be in the form of repeating numbers regardless of their meanings (111, 1212, 777, etc), repeating symbols (daisies, colors, words, animals) or something totally personal to you. For example, maybe your late grandfather always carried a pocket watch which holds great significance for you. You might see pocket watches wherever you go, which can be taken as a sign. Regardless of if you choose to interpret the meanings of these various signs and synchronicities, they can almost always be viewed as a “green light” from the Universe that you are doing great and on track.
2- Feeling Better- We all have bad days. It is simply part of life. But when you’re on the right path, you will notice you’ll start to have a lot less of them, and a lot more good days. Your overall mood will improve. You will start vibing higher, and feeling like you have some sort of direction in life.
3- More Energy- When you wake up in the morning, you may start to notice you have a little more energy than usual. You may not need that second gallon of coffee. You might actually have the energy to cook yourself a good meal rather than get takeout. Overall, you’ll notice a bit of a boost.
4- Excited- You start to feel hopeful about the future. You may even start setting some plans in motion that you have always wanted to try, or you finally have some new ideas. Go after this spark of excitement- it’s trying to tell you something.
5- Triggers & Tests- This one is not so fun, and might want to throw you off your path entirely. Just when you think things are going well and you are feeling better, life throws you a sucker punch. For example, perhaps a challenging family member turns up and tells you your new creative project is stupid, or maybe someone cut you off in traffic and flipped you the bird for no reason. These negative curve balls are tests from the Universe to see how you can handle yourself on your path as you level up, as there will always be challenges to overcome in life.
6- Doing Different- Speaking of triggers…how would the old you react? If you get cut off in traffic, would you have typically flipped them off back and honked and screamed? Would you have cut off your rude family member? What did you do this time? Did you let it go and move on? Did you process your emotions better than before? If you have noticed any sort of progress than what you’ve done in the past, or done something different, congratulations! You’re on the right track.
7- Guilt- UGH this one is the worst in my opinion. You’re probably thinking “why would I feel any sort of guilt if I am on the right path?” Well, my friend, I will tell you. Now that you are leveling up on your path, you may start to realize all of where you’ve gone wrong in the past. Everyone you have ever hurt (intentionally or unintentionally), boundaries you didn’t set, times you didn’t play with your dog, gossiping behind someone’s back…it might all start to come back and haunt you. For me, some of my past mistakes didn’t surface until years after the fact, and the guilt lasted for months. There was nothing I could do to change it, and not much I could do with the feelings besides learn from them in order to do better. Guilt is one of the ickiest feelings we experience in my opinion, but one of the most powerful tools. We feel it in order to gauge our path- did that feel bad? Don’t do it again. If you start to have any of these feelings and memories resurface, don’t panic, move through it. It’s just your brain’s way of letting you know you had to learn a lesson. Do your best to forgive yourself, know that we all make mistakes, and do better moving forward. You got this.
8- Faster Recovery Time- You know what it’s like to have a run in with a stranger who gives you a nasty glance or makes a rude comment and it absolutely ruins your day? It just might even carry over into the next day too if it was bad enough. While these types of interactions or other inconveniences and small crises will almost always be annoying, if you are moving through them faster than before, that is a great sign.
9- Balance- Overall, life begins to feel a bit more balanced. Perhaps you’re improving in setting boundaries, but still maintaining a social life. Or, you’re getting enough rest and able to eat three meals a day. Balance can be found in the smallest of things in our day to day, you just need to have the awareness to give yourself the credit.
10- Vivid Colors- Everything around you might start to look a little sharper, and colors a bit brighter. This may sound strange, but something that I have noticed is an overall improvement and enhancement in my vision. This could even be where the phrases “adding color to life” or “bringing vibrancy to life” come from. When you’re leveling up, the world just looks a lot more colorful!
