Aloha ,
A client came to me recently, excited.
She'd been seeing the same "sign" everywhere — and had decided it meant she was supposed to do something specific in her life. She was ready to act on it.
I didn't want to dim her excitement. But I did want to tell her the truth.
Not every sign is a sign.
Here's what I mean. When your mind is deeply focused on something — a decision, a possibility, a purchase — you start noticing it everywhere. Think about when you decide you want a new car and you've decided on a specific make and model. Suddenly that car is in every parking lot and in front of you when you're driving. Those cars were always there. Your brain just wasn't filtering
for it before.
The same thing happens with signs from your angels and guides.
When you're thinking
hard about a decision, your mind will find "confirmation" everywhere. A song lyric. A license plate. A conversation that seems too perfectly timed. And sometimes those ARE genuine messages. But sometimes... it's just a very motivated mind doing what motivated minds do.
So how do you tell the difference?
You get quiet. And you check in with your body.
Your emotions and physical sensations are messages too — just as real as any external sign. This is part of what I teach in the Angel Intuition Academy, and it's something a lot of women skip right over.
Here's how you tell the difference between a real sign and a motivated mind. Two things to notice:
Expansion or contraction? When
you imagine taking this action, does your body open up — do your shoulders drop, your chest soften, your breath deepen and relax? Or does something tighten? Genuine guidance tends to feel like expansion. Fear dressed up as a sign tends to feel like bracing.
Is it a YES — or just relief? There's a difference between feeling genuinely lit up by a decision and simply feeling relieved that you've made one. Relief over having made a decision, any decision, can masquerade as clarity. A true yes has a different quality to it — quieter, steadier, more like of course than finally.
Your angels and guides ARE sending you signals and signs, that's for sure. But part of developing a strong guidance system is learning to discern — to slow down enough to feel what's real versus what's just wishful thinking with good timing.
The signs matter. And so does what's happening inside you when you notice them.
That's where the
real communication with your Angels and Guides happens.
I'm CURIOUS...
Which resonates more for you right now...
the expansion/contraction check, or the yes vs. relief question? Hit reply and tell me. I read every one.
