The Essence of Redirection

Redirection, or a pivot, can feel like such a disaster when you're in it. Everything feels like it's falling apart and things aren't going according to "plan".

We had this happen on the weekend for my son's birthday party. Long story short our meal plan for the afternoon was not going to work out for that time so we had to stop on the way to the venue to get burgers at Costco. The burgers actually turned out delicious and the meat that we were supposed to use at the party was used for tacos to feed our neighbours, and both my parents and in-laws, as well as our family of four. With plenty to spare/freeze, and the tacos were BOMB! So delicious and everyone agreed that it would have been a bit of a waste to just put it on a bun as pulled beef at the birthday party. Everyone pulled together to make it all work out in the best way possible (for our stomachs).

While we were in it though. We were stuck.

Oh it's not supposed to be burgers. Oh this should have been pulled beef on a bun. It was a recurring conversation. Just stuck in the what was supposed to be instead of what was unfolding. We went with the flow but it was very reluctant and stifled. Until the tacos and then it all clicked together.

This isn't just about food.

How often in our lives are we redirected for something greater, something bigger, something more aligned with our needs? Yet we kick and scream the whole way. This isn't the plan! This isn't what I *think* I need. Why am I being punished? Why can't things just work out?

The endless loop of victim mentality that whatever happened is the worst thing ever. But what if it isn't?

What if the universe is redirecting you away from bland beef on a bun to super flavourful tacos instead? Yet it's not clear until you surrender to the pivot and see the big picture.

We get so stuck in thinking that we know what's best. Or we know exactly what we want to manifest. But sometimes (always) there's a bigger and probably better plan unfolding. We just have to release control and remove the human emotions to fully see. Sometimes there is more work or insight needed as well, and that's okay! Just surrender, and if you feel drawn to further guidance, come see me and we can work it out together. <3
