Relief IS Guidance
A dear friend just reached out feeling pretty anxious and even defeated. He doesn’t feel good (to put it mildly) at his current job, but he had just been “rejected” for a different job. So, he’s trying to answer the “should I stay or should I go?” question.
Here’s what the Angels and I said (besides sending him big hugs!):
When you soothe yourself as best you can and gently consider each possibility, which feels like relief?
In this sort of situation, relief is your body and guidance saying yes.
You’re being invited to navigate life differently. You’re not far from a much better feeling place! You can totally do this.
As we continued to explore this decision with our dear friend, the Angels and I added: There's huge power in choosing yourself … your health and wellbeing … over sacrificing yourself for a paycheck.
As you feel into this, the question isn’t: “Do I keep working at [this job] or have zero income?” That’s an unanswerable question.
The question to hold gently as a possibility is more like: “Do I choose to work at [this job] another day/week/month?” Then notice what your body does. If it feels heavy or contracts or makes a yuck response, that’s a clear no from your Divine guidance.
And, on the other side of the equation, if you ask: “Is now the time to quit [this job]?” and you feel relief, that’s a hell yes!
How does all this feel to you? Any “yeah, but’s” or WTFs?
