How To Trust The Universe When You Don’t Know Where Life Is Taking You

How do you trust the universe when you don’t know where life is taking you? Trusting in something you can’t see isn’t always an easy thing to do.

I was once told by someone “trust that the universe is taking care of you and that all your needs are being met.” Those words stuck with me for many years and have helped me get through tough times in my life when I didn’t know where life was taking me.

How to Trust the Universe When You Don’t Know Where Life is Taking You

1. How to Trust the Universe - Release What is No Longer Serving You

When you let go of the things you are holding onto that are not working, it gives the universe room to allow new and better things to come into your life. These new things can only come in when you let go of the old. If you don’t let go of the old then there is no room for the new things to enter.

Full moons are a wonderful time to let go of things that we have a difficult time releasing. I love how the full moon helps us to release that which is no longer serving us. It also amps up our emotions into overdrive so that we can let go of these things we do not need anymore.

My emotions always seem to be heightened before and after a full moon. I always make big decisions at the time of the full moon. It is a beautiful thing to let go of that which is no longer working in your life.

Sometimes we can stay in experiences that aren’t for our highest good for a long time, but eventually a full moon comes around that helps us to drop all the baggage and move onto something better.

2. How to Trust the Universe - Listen to Your Physical Pain

When you get pain in your body, it is telling you that something is out of balance. It is a good idea to get into the habit of asking your pain what it is there for. It is there to tell you something and to help you out.

Pay attention to the feeling you get when you think about that pain. What is it stopping you from doing? These things are all connected.

For example, my knee started hurting one day and I do not have prior knee problems. I was 100% sure it is an emotional thing, as I didn’t do anything different that would have hurt it and it came completely out of the blue.

I always check in with my chakras when I get pain to see what is going on. So, I checked in and realized that it had something to do with my root chakra being blocked because the pain was in my knee. This chakra is connected to being grounded, financial security and material needs.

Every time something in my body hurts, I also look up the spiritual meaning. I looked up Louise Hay “Knee Problems.” It said that I was being inflexible. OK great, so what does that mean?

After some soul searching, I realized that I was very set in the fact that I would not get another job as I wanted to transition straight from my current job to be a full-time entrepreneur.

I was being inflexible in how I wanted my life to go and was not willing to bend and change what I needed to. I had an idea in my head about what was best for me and I didn’t want to compromise.

3. How to Trust the Universe - Allow Things to Unfold as They Will

Often, we think we know what is best for us and try to force our lives to go a certain way. This is called outlining. Outlining is when you tell the universe what is best for you and exactly how it should happen.

It is not always easy to trust that you are on the right path and that everything will work out for the best, so you try to control the circumstances. Believe me, I’ve done my fair share of this!

It is best to be flexible, go with the flow and not force anything to happen. This way the universe can deliver things to you in the best way possible. Your higher self can see the path but your physical self cannot. It is impossible for us to know exactly how something will happen.

I Put My Trust in the Universe & It All Worked Out

I wanted to quit my 9-5 job for a few months, but I was not in a financial position to be able to do it. That is why my knee was stiff and sore; I wanted to move forward but was worried about what would happen if I took that leap of faith.

The pain moved up into my jaw which was something I had never experienced before. I knew for sure then that my body was trying to get my attention. I needed to listen to my heart and feelings and not my head.

So, what did I do about it? I gave my notice at work without any sort of plan as to what I was going to do next. I needed to trust that the universe would take care of me and that whatever happens is for my highest good. My intuition told me that the job I just quit wasn’t right for me anymore. It was time to move onto something else.

I was willing to be more flexible and let the universe take me where I was supposed to go. It was guiding me to trust in things that I cannot see. I needed to trust that the universe would take care of me through the transition.

One of the most difficult things is trusting that life is taking you where you need to go. Letting go and allowing can be difficult but so rewarding.

Trust the Universe Knows What is Best for You

We can get visions in our head about what is best for us. But life can have another plan. Sometimes you have to trust that not being able to see the pieces of the road ahead is OK. In fact, most of the time our lives turn out different than we envision. This is not a bad thing. In fact, it can be quite exciting.

The path the universe is leading you on may even be more beautiful than what you imagine, even if you can’t see it yet. Your higher self and the universe knows what your soul needs and will lead you to where you need to go. You just need to let go and trust.

When You Trust the Universe, Your Decisions Feel Right

How do you know if you are on the right path or if you made the right decision? If you feel instant relief after your decision, then you know if it right. Or if your intuition tells you it is right, then it is.

It is about feeling your life more than thinking it. Tune into your heart to see if it feels right, not what your head says. If something feels right, it probably is. If your body and mind feel clearer, then you made the right decision.

After I quit my job my body was feeling much better. I was feeling instant relief. Within a day my pain disappeared. I also had a knowing that it was the right thing to do. It was a bit scary but also exciting to see where life was taking me.

Bottom Line: How to Trust the Universe When You Don’t Know Where Life is Taking You

Trusting in the universe that things will work out can take some practice. If you look back to past experiences where you were feeling the same way, you will see that everything did happen for the best.

So, sit back and enjoy the road you are on. Trust that where life is taking you is exactly where you need to be.
