Imagine you start to realize that how you are thinking and behaving no longer reflects who you really are. Maybe something just doesn't feel right anymore. Maybe you simply think differently. Whether or not you realize it, this is a blessing in disguise.

Its easy to recognize you are constantly growing and changing physically. At the same time, your mental awareness is stretching at its own pace. As you become more discerning, your impulses and intuition seem to point you in new directions because you're becoming more attuned to them.  How do you know if your instinct is right on?

Rather than focus energy on thoughts about what isn't working, spend energy on what is. For instance, if it feels right to practice some sport or skill, do that. If you notice you're improving in some area of your life, then focus more on that.  If your appetite is growing or shrinking due to  activity, listen to the messages and eat accordingly.

If your gut tells you to seek advice, do it. If newly-discovered talent is getting you attention and work opportunities, then concentrate on that. Whatever generates positive developments in your life is a meaningful direction to take.

Similarly, if you sense you no longer relate to the behavior of people you have known, gradually create distance. If spending time in a particuar setting evokes negaive feelings, stop going or at least minimize the period you spend there.

If you no longer feel good about some of your eating habits or leisure activities, then its your prerogative to make different decisions. To stop doing those things that evoke negative feelings is a step toward shifting focus to transform your mindset and action.

Choosing to view everything as a blessing in disguise means you realize you have a choice about how to live your life.  You can decide everything that happens is sending you positive, subliminal messages. After all, what motivated you to get out of bed every day?
