Before we start by one request, if any new insights or awareness land with you during this episode, please send me an email at info at the Ian Hawkins coaching.com. And let me know what you found. I know the power of this word, I love to hear the impact these conversations have. Okay, let's get into it. When you experience any life changing moment, you experience grief, even events that feel positive. That positive, you're grieving the past version of you that no longer exists as you move up into a better place as you improve as you grow. Interesting, right? So even the good stuff brings grief. Mostly though, it's the bigger events. And when you're ready to change after that event, when you're ready to improve your life. When you're ready to move forward, life will give you signs, it will show you signs, clear signs. Some of them can be by repeated behavior that leaves you realizing you need to change yourself because you're not happy about how you're turning up in different situations. Sometimes it can be other people, maybe the same person, maybe a number of different people continuing to show this type of behavior towards you that you don't want to accept anymore. showing you that you don't want to tolerate that anymore. That's not how you want to show up in the world that whatever they are doing that credit response in you, you don't want to tolerate that anymore. Sometimes though, the signs are a bit more subtle. Sometimes, you might hear the same song, three different occasions. And for me, it's three times if I see something once a great second time I'm gonna, it's got my attention, maybe there's something to pay attention to. But if someone's repeated three times, particularly in a short space of time, and to me, that is all the sign I made that I'm being shown. I need to pay attention here. Now whether you believe it being a universal or spiritual type thing, or just looking at your unconscious mind showing you what needs attention, the signs are there. Our brain takes in billions of bits per second. But we only have the ability to actually process and deal with consciously, a really small percentage and the 10s of 1000s. So when you start realizing you want to change then, of course, the evidence that comes into your world because of your unconscious mind seeking answers, you're going to have repeated things. You've asked for something your unconscious mind that part of your brain that looks for solutions to what parameters you've given it will start giving the now I'm a believer that there's a spiritual aspect of that as well. And that things will show up in a magical way to show you. So like I said, three, the hearing a song Three times, always makes me think, what is it about this song? Is it attaching me to a childhood memory? Is there something to the words in the song? Does it remind me of someone? What is it? Sometimes it might be the same particular animal showing up. Now obviously cats and dogs are pretty random, you're going to see them lots of different areas, but maybe it's a slightly obscure animal that just keeps showing up in similar circumstances. Although they will talk about particular bird, just just follow the simple, seemingly follower, the Marina didn't pop up in the most bizarre circumstances and sit right next to them and scream loudly at the maybe that sort of person that you start see repeated numbers regularly. You've done a bit of a dabbling in numerology or angel numbers and that sort of thing. was actually thinking about this idea to do this particular to talk about this particular topic. And I was thinking about, okay, if I was to do a post on this, what would I, what I use as the image. And then I mean the shops later that day and I run into a into a guy sitting there and he's got his work shirt on. And the logo on the shirt was Angel sides, as in the paid signs, or create signs and these paintings and they're more graphic design type thing. And when it says, we have a chuckle, because I'm like, okay, cool. There's, there's another sign, there's your picture. And then I'm like, Ah, I walked past him, I thought that might be a bit much to ask him to take a photo of him. But then I didn't think about what I should just asked him like, it was just me, letting fear get in the way or letting me get the way. Thankfully, as I came back through that place, his actual van drove past in the mall, going quite slow, because it was the mall, there's people around and had his big Angel signs written on there, which is the picture that I will be working with his base. Forgive us for something. And there it was. That to me that's been more direct than my unconscious mind looking for solutions given I had to be there for an appointment at that particular time, that was like a direct sign. Here it is, oh, yeah, if you missed it, that's right, we'll send that particular sign past again, so you can get access to it. Now, however, you look at this, you can have a choice there where you think that's just coincidences, I'm not going to pay any attention. And usually, from my experience, that's from people who are determined that however they see the world, prior to prior to now, is right, to ego response that says, I'm right, I'm not going to be open to there been different ways that life will come at me. And they'll stick stubbornly to their beliefs are the people who've made the greatest change that seemed to be happier, are the ones that are open to what might come their way. They're open to the signs. And they're open to addressing whatever signs come up and looking at more solutions, looking at ways to understand, understand themselves, understand the situation and understand that there is a way to improve. So are you seeing the signs? Are you paying attention to the signs? Now I will say that you can get too caught in this space of trying to create meaning out of everything that I've been there as well. You see repeated number a couple of times, and you start looking it up at every moment, maybe hasn't even repeated, but you just see a repeated number set. Maybe it was a you know the time was to to to look it up and yellow, what does that mean? And then you can find a million different reasons when you google search something. Sometimes it's just you're on the right path. Keep going. You're doing really well. And that's all you need to do. They get caught in trying to make sense or make meaning out of everything. But do pay attention. To know that there are certain signs that will show you. You're on the right, you're on the right path, keep moving. And there are other signs that will show you you need to pay attention. Something is not quite right about this scenario about this situation. See the signs, pay attention, and then act accordingly.
