When your car breaks down, you get ill or something else happens that we as a society deem as negative, it may be a wake up call from the universe. A true superstar does not brush off these incidents as chance. Instead they know how to embrace the experience, kiss that monster goodbye and shift it into a miracle.

But how do we translate those signs we get from the universe?

Let me share a personal story and the exercises I used to transform my monsters:

I was chronically fatigued from October to December and kept saying to myself, “It is just stress. I am overworked and been traveling too much.” I didn’t probe further into the root of the stress though.

Since I didn’t listen to the universe, I got another sign. 3 weeks ago I discovered a lump on my breast. My gut feeling was, “Oh it is nothing, just stress. I am sure once I get some rest it will go away.” Still not listening.

2 weeks later and the lump was bigger. Time to see a doctor. Thankfully it turned out to be a cyst. But okay NOW I am listening. Geez I can be stubborn sometimes. LOL.

So I did 2 exercises to get to the root of the issue:

1. The first evening I used activity 2 in chapter 10 of my Red Carpet Home Study Workshop and focused on my releasing my emotions. I wrote, “I am angry because…” and let whatever I felt flow out of my pen. If you are doing this exercise, you can journal about any other emotion you are feeling. Ex. “I am resentful, sad, hurt, frustrated etc…”

2. The next evening I embraced the ‘monster,’ knowing that if I acknowledged the darkness, I can find the light and shift this. I wrote, “I have a lump on my breast because…” For you, simply write the sentence as to what your specific the issue is and ask as I did.

Between both those exercises I discovered that since I moved countries a few months ago, I have been feeling isolated and abandoned as I am in a new environment with new systems and routines and many of my friends from back home have moved on without me. So poof … health issues arose because it meant I would get the attention I needed.

Once I unleashed my superstar within and really faced that monster, I had the power to create a new existence for myself. So as of last week I have been making dates with my new friends, looking into volunteer opportunities, meet ups, things to do in my area, etc. I am already feeling far more alive and connected again in only a few days.

BTW the day after my journaling I noticed that the lump got smaller on it’s own… surprise surprise! Amazing what happens when we embrace the darkness instead of pushing it away.

So when you get a sign from the universe, listen! Ask ask ask and investigate what it is. Do the above exercises.

Once you discover the root of the issue, you can start asking yourself, “What miracles can come out of this? What actions can I take to transform this situation? How can I shift a negative into a positive?” Then watch the miracles happen. Remember, you are a superstar!
