How to Listen to Your Inner GPS and Find Your Next Step
Sometimes the next step in your life isn't obvious—you have to slow down enough to notice the nudges pointing you in the right direction.
In this episode of the Slow Living Podcast, Stephanie O'Dea goes back in time to talk about who she was and what her life looked like before 2008, the year she made a New Year's resolution to use her slow cooker every day and write about it online.
But the slow cooker wasn't the beginning of the story.
Stephanie shares how dreams, goals, and visions had been taking shape since she was very young, and how she learned to think of her life as having an internal GPS.
She talks about paying attention to the nudges and inklings that came from within—and, for her, from God or the Universe—to help guide her toward her next steps.
You don't always need to have the entire route mapped out. Sometimes you simply need to know where you want to go, pay attention, and be willing to adjust your course.
In this episode, you'll learn:
- How Stephanie's dreams and goals began long before 2008
- What it means to “program your GPS” for the life you want
- Why slowing down can help you notice your own nudges and inklings
- How intuition, faith, and curiosity can influence your next steps
- Why you don't have to know exactly how everything will unfold
- How paying attention to where you're being guided can help you create a more intentional life
You don't have to see the entire road ahead. Sometimes you just need to know your direction and take the next step.
