What to Do When Life Gets Crazy! (Part 3 of 3)

Life is filled with uncertainty. At times it can feel very crazy making. This past week alone my intuitive reading clients were in the midst of several of those upsetting life events. One client reported that her ex-husband had inexplicably stopped paying child support for their three kids, forcing her to move in with her parents. A 61-year-old client who had worked at the same job for 18 years was told she was being laid off, and a 35-year-old dad of two young children found out he had a life-threatening cancer.

What do you do when life gets crazy? There are many options that guide us towards peace, resolution and renewal. You can read Part 1 and Part 2 on my blog.

Take Time to Pray

Prayer softens our hearts and requires vulnerability and openness to make way for something new. It may be an innovative idea or simply a shift in awareness that allows me to see the world through different eyes. Those things are especially helpful during times of crisis.

When I pray, I pour out my heart as if I’m talking to a good friend. Many spiritual traditions believe the heart is where we connect with the Divine. When I pray, I’m making a request to align with a loving, compassionate force that I believe wants me (and you!) to be successful and at peace in our lives. Below is an example of how I pray. If the word “God” produces conflict, use any word or concept that works for you such as “Divine,” “Universe,” “All That Is,” or “Beloved.”

Dear God —

I’m struggling with ______(this life event.)

I’m feeling ____ (scared, anxious, fearful…)

I am coming to you seeking your help and wisdom.

I know that you are guiding me by giving me new ways of looking at this situation.

There is always a change of attitude, insight, a miracle or help from unexpected sources. I open my mind and heart to all of those possibilities right now.

Give me the wisdom to guide me to the change my soul requires. I invite your peace, ease and grace.

Show me the thoughts and actions that bring resolution. I know your wish for ALL of us is prosperity, health and love. I accept all of that into my life now.

I rest in your love, your wisdom. I know that you hear my prayer and that I hear your answers through my intuition.

Give me understanding and discernment to guide me through this crisis. I am listening. Help me to make the right choices that bring me to peace.

Amen

Build a Bridge to a New Life

Creating a successful change in life can be downright overwhelming. Where do I begin? This is the biggest hurdle for most of us. I like the “small steps” approach. I ask my intuition, “What could I do today that will help me _____?” I fill in the blank with my current objective. I then pay attention to any ideas that feel interesting, that light me up or that I’m curious about. Those are the ones that are intuitively guided. They’re the very ones that lead me back to sanity and serenity.

What one thing could you do today that feels interesting, exciting or compelling? It doesn’t need to be a big thing. In fact, it’s better if it’s a small step! Perhaps you could research a class you want to take. You could go outside and take a walk. Call a friend. Write in your journal. Apply for a job that sounds interesting. Go to an exercise class. Write some marketing copy. Send a card to a friend you’ve lost touch with.

What is your intuition guiding you to do? Let me know! Write your thoughts below.
