5 Signs You’re in The Crossroads
5 Signs You Are in the Crossroads
There is a crossroads in every woman’s life, and you might be well into the journey before even realizing it.
“The crossroads” is a spiritual journey, a physical journey, and a introspective journey, all in one. It’s the journey of going from who you thought you had to be to who you truly are. It’s going from your scared, survival self to your most powerful, aligned, wise self. It’s going from living a default life based on what you “should” do, to living the life you’ve always known was meant for you to live.
The crossroads isn’t really a choice. It’s a kind of waking up to the truth.
Some women feel it but may choose to ignore it. If you choose to ignore the call, you may try to numb it by working harder, being even busier, or pretending that it’s not happening.
Here are 5 signs you may be on the journey of the crossroads:
1. You have less tolerance for pretending.
2. Your energy feels different. You may feel drained and tired, or you may feel unable to relax.
3. You start getting insomnia, or waking in the middle of the night.
4. Suddenly everything that you’ve built in life shifts, and you need something more. You need something more aligned with who you are becoming, who you really are.
5. You start wondering if there’s something else, or something more. And this feels a bit urgent, like time is ticking and you need to figure it out quickly.
The crossroads from who you have been to who you are becoming is part spiritual and part hormonal. And it can start happening to women as early as the mid-30s and can overlap with career growth, parenthood, postpartum and perimenopause.
So if you’re feeling the shift, just know that you are feeling “something,” and it’s not your imagination. And it can be a perfect opportunity to become the truest version of yourself.
