In my 15+ years of consulting professionals, business owners, and managers, I’ve noticed that many of them are trying to be mindful and positive, to have a good vibration. But some of them have struggle to be stable on their new level.

Let's take a step back (for reinforcement and awareness) and share with you a few tricks to find out if you have passed to another stage in your development. Has it ever happened to you:

  • to constantly seek the approval of others;

  • to lose heart when someone does not speak kindly of you;

  • the opinion of others (for you) to be more important than your own one and than your personal self-esteem;

  • to have low self-esteem;

  • to think that others are better (in several or many respects) than you?

When we are not connected to ourselves, when we are in an energy imbalance, when we do not love and we dislike ourselves, others are our mirrors and they show us and project our attitude towards ourselves through their own towards us. If we start developing one healthy care and self-love, as well as real self-esteem, the attitude of others will also change. And very naturally, quite harmoniously, people who are not energetically harmonious with us, will simply stay out of our focus and world.


1. One of my indicators that I have entered a new stage, was that I stopped caring about the opinions of people who were not important to me. Of course, I deeply appreciate the feedback from people who are

authorities for me ‒ with their professionalism, kindness, humanity, creativity and authenticity. From them with great gratitude I receive both positive and negative feedback. I admit that my sweet ego is still worried about the negative feedback about the things that are too important for me and the people who are very important to me. But I try my best to take the constructiveness and improve what I think would be for my well-being.


2. Another indicator for me for the new stages in my life is the change of the environment. If I look around and the people around me are different than before (I am not referring here to my closest friends, who have been with me forever, always supporting me and hearing my crazy ideas and intentions that, to whom I can share my soul and acknowledge my fears and challenges), then I have passed to a new stage and respectively to a new level.


3. The third indicator is the changes in my reactions. If I've been all my life acted, felt, reacted in one way and suddenly realized that I'm naturally doing something I haven't thought about before, that is a wonderful sign for me.


4. The meaning in the work, in what I do. At every stage of life I loved my job. But the motives, the meaning I make, the contribution I aim for, the sense of satisfaction I want to experience, change. The value changes.


5. The following applies to relationships: who is next to you and what you are seeking for.


6. The attitude, care, love that I give to myself. At my current stage, it is extremely important for me to have the time for mindfulness, for development, for intent. My promises to myself are my top priority and I focus on keeping them.


My new business projects are also part of these promises. Here you can include so much mindfulness, mission, joy, of course knowledge and experience and the process flows with such an ease.


To me, to my soul, these wonderful projects are needed for prosperity, because that's how I give also to myself.


I know very well that success in its true splendor comes from the authentic, from people with congruence and integration, from those who live what they offer to others.


Because otherwise it wouldn't was sincere.


7. The prevailing emotions. Have you observed the changes (long-term) in your emotions?


Think of your own signs that you have reached a new level!Do you have the senses to follow your positive development?
