Accept Where You Are Now
Sometimes we don't make a life change because we don't know HOW to make it happen. My advice? Just begin. Take small steps. When you do, the Universe will respond by putting the right people and opportunities in your path and good ideas in your mind. There might be a class you take, a volunteer activity you join, or a business you begin. Think about what's fun, enjoyable and interesting for you. That's your intuition guiding you. Do at least one new thing every day. Life changes like this don't need to be difficult and dreary!

Be Courageous!
There's an old saying, "If you always do what you've always done, you'll always get what you've always gotten." Intuition moves us out of our comfort zone. It tells us to get going in a new direction. We all lack confidence sometimes. If this is a big issue for you, try the "fake it until you make it" mentality. Ask yourself, "What would a confident person do in this situation?" and then try it! It would be wonderful if there were a self-confidence fairy who could sprinkle "confidence dust." The truth is, confidence rises in us when we do the thing(s) that scare us. It builds our courage muscles.

Dare to Be Yourself
You are uniquely you. You have your own distinctive gifts, talents, ways of looking at life; your own "you-ness." If you seek out answers from friends, family, your significant other, you'll get a wide variety of conflicting advice. The best advice is from your own inner wisdom. What's true for you? Take time to meditate, dream and discover what you're truly yearning for. It will probably not look like anyone else's path. There's a great book by palliative care nurse Bonnie Ware, who wrote "The Top Five Regrets of the Dying." Their biggest regret? "I wish I'd had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me."
Have Fun With This Change
The path to a "big change" doesn't have to be weighty, difficult and challenging. Intuition guides us always. Put simply...Pay attention to what drains you. Move away from that! Pay attention to what lightens your spirit. Do more of that! Ask yourself, "How can I make this fun?" Eventually, you'll look back years from now and realize it was the fun, small steps that got you through to the Big Change! Keep dreaming. Keep taking action. You'll get there. Make it a fun adventure!
