An Empath's Guide: Signs & Synchronicity

Have you ever noticed signs and coincidences in your life before? Maybe you smiled, then went about your day. But what if you actually followed those signs and treated them as a roadmap for your life. Not just the big coincidences, but every interaction. When I was working on my business, I was feeling overwhelmed with all of the things I wanted to accomplish. I knew the main theme of my brand needed to have trees, sunlight and the colors of green, blue and purple. 

This theme has always had meaning for me. As a curious child looking up at the sky trying to connect with God. I loved trees and contemplated our connection to nature. As a deeply empathic person I sensed everything, which wasn’t always easy for me. I had a lot of anxiety that traveled with me throughout my life. It wasn’t until I learned the secret of meditation and surrender that I found the inner peace I longed for. 

But what about purpose? Surely our purpose changes throughout our life. Student, career, mother… These are a few areas of my life I have felt purpose. Is there an ultimate purpose? I don't believe it is consecrated in any of the titles and hats we wear. The first time I surrendered and asked God to use me and the gifts I was given, I unlocked the first synchronistic path that led me to a new career. Unfortunately it was noted, but I didn't stay tuned in and life continued in its usual ups and downs. It took a lot of years before I finally realized the power of what was within. Not just inner peace, but the buzz of energy when you treat your life like a treasure hunt.

So back to my earlier frustration. I closed my computer, telling myself to take a break and trust the process. I went on a field trip with my son later that morning to see the Shakespeare play, a Midsummer Night’s Dream. As soon as we entered the theater, in front of me was the most beautiful set of an enchanted forest with greens and purples. The universe had planted a reminder right in front of me. A sign that I needed to keep going.

We can choose to listen and act or not. Learning to hone in on synchroncities is one step. It can help you strengthen your intuition and become more aware. Especially in the backdrop of our busy lives.
