Shift 004 – Red and Green Lights

You can implement every strategy and follow every formula, but if the energy behind your actions isn’t aligned, the results will always feel off.

In our last Shift, we talked about recognizing when you’re taking action from pressure or force, that feeling of “I just have to get this done” or “I can’t stop until it’s finished.” We explored how your energy shapes your outcomes and why pausing to reset makes all the difference.

Today, we’re diving deeper into what happens when we don’t pause, and how to read the energetic red and green lights that show up in your body and business every day.

Red Lights Are Not Failures

We’ve been conditioned to push through discomfort. To hustle harder, stay consistent, and “make it happen.” But that kind of energy usually leads to one thing: negative energy.

When you find yourself feeling frustrated, angry, bitter, disappointed, or stuck, these aren’t signs that you’re broken or failing. They’re red flags.

Your body’s saying, “Hey, this isn’t working. Something’s off.”

• It might be the task itself.
• It might be your environment or the people around you.
• It might even be your mindset or energy in the moment.

Whatever it is, that inner resistance isn’t there to stop you, it’s there to guide you.

Pause, Investigate, Realign

The next time you hit that wall of frustration, try this instead of pushing through:

1. Pause. Step back from the task. Take a breath.
2. Investigate. Ask yourself: “What am I feeling in my body right now?”
3. Realign. Shift into a different state before moving forward.

This tiny pause creates massive energetic shifts. It moves you from reaction to intuition, from red light to green light.

When you follow your intuition, the next steps might not make logical sense, but they will feel right. And that’s what leads to aligned results. Those moments of peace, satisfaction, success, and even surprise.

Boundaries Are The Path Green Lights

Boundaries are what protect your energy and give your intuition space to lead.

They allow you to honor your timing instead of succumbing to pressure.
They give you permission to delay a decision, change direction, or say “not right now” without guilt.

Boundaries are your green lights. They say: You’re safe to move in the direction that feels aligned.

And that’s what real strategy looks like, one built on intuition and energy, not force and pressure.

The Shift

When frustration, anger, bitterness, or disappointment arise, take them as signs that your energy needs to shift. Not that you need to push harder.

• Pause.
• Reflect.
• Reset.

Even if that means revisiting the task tomorrow. Your energy is your strategy.

Try this, and see what shifts for you.
