Sometimes when our lives are about to change, we can sense it before we can see it. These are a few of the experiences you might have right before a massive shift takes place.

1. You’ll start to phase out of denial.

When we’re really stuck in life, denial is the shield we use to protect ourselves from the panic of acknowledging everything that’s wrong because we don’t yet have the confidence to believe we can fix it.

When we’re approaching a big life change, what we’re really coming up on is the tipping point at which we are finally ready to reconcile what’s been “off” for a pretty long time.

This means that you’re going to be phasing out of the denial period, and into anger, regret, remorse, and even sadness.

These are feelings you’ve had pent up for a really long time, that you probably feel safe enough to release now because you know the story is changing, your life is adjusting as it really needed to be all along.

We don’t snap out of denial one day, we slowly come out of it in phases, and eventually, we arrive at acceptance that we weren’t happy before.

2. You’ll look back at the choices that lead you here.
