Trying to find your path in a book or through meditation? The sustainable journey looks for the quiet way.
If only we had a crystal ball that showed us that we’re on the path toward becoming the best versions of ourselves that we can be. As far as we know, crystal balls are a thing for fairytales. However, this doesn’t mean you can’t get some clues about the direction of your life.
That’s why we’re here to help by offering a list of 5 subtle signs you’re on the right path. Take a quick break from looking into Hofmann Designs products, and let’s get into it.
Feeling Emotions More Strongly
If you’ve noticed that you’ve been more sensitive to your emotions lately or that you’re feeling them more strongly than you have in the past, this is a good sign. It likely means that you’re no longer repressing or suppressing emotions. Instead, you have the courage and determination to face them – as you know this is a necessary part of growing and evolving into the person you were meant to become. Becoming consciously aware of your emotions is the first step towards increasing your self-awareness which is essential for guiding you along the right path.
Cutting People Out of Your Life
Have you noticed that you have fewer friends or acquaintances than you once did? While this realization may make you uncomfortable, it’s actually a sign that you’re working towards becoming a more authentic version of yourself. When you start to place more energy into your positive relationships with others and yourself, and no longer make time for people who bring you down, this is one of the ultimate acts of self-love.
Not Taking Things Personally
It’s challenging to not take the opinions or behaviors of others personally, and one of the clear signs that you’re on the right path is if you no longer give great importance to what others think of you. Instead, you know that others’ views of you are really just a projection of how they view themselves. You see with more clarity that the opinion of you that matters the most is the opinion that you have of yourself.
Seeking Out Solitude More Often
Forest bathing is a kind of therapy called for in some cultures like Japan. It can help you communicate better with people.
Introvert or not, if you notice that you’ve been seeking out time to yourself more often than you used to it’s a sign that you’re on the right path. You know that time for reflection and introspection is vital toward working on yourself and being the best version of yourself that’s possible, and this can only be done in solitude. While you still enjoy the company and connecting with others, you don’t place as much of an emphasis on going out every weekend or filling up your social calendar.
Feeling Uncomfortable
You may not have expected this, but feeling discomfort is actually a sign that you’re on the right path. All growth requires some discomfort, you could consider how it’s hard to lift weights, but you know that your muscles are growing. There’s no difference when it comes to putting in the work toward evolving into your highest self. If you feel more uncomfortable, consider these growing pains, as that’s exactly what it is. As long as you keep up the work, you’ll see the results in no time at all.
