11 Tips for Surrendering to the Universe
Surrendering to the Universe is about believing that there is a Universal Plan for your life that is far greater than any plan you could create from the limited perspective you have. No matter how expansive your perspective is, it will never see things as the Universe sees things, for you have your own mental and emotional biases.
As a Spiritual Mentor, Author and Intuitive Guide I am always working with 1:1 clients and members in my membership community that feel overcome by fear of the unknown, have control issues, and feel lost on their journey. No matter the situation they find themselves in, I am walking the path alongside them as they remember their spiritual truths in order to strengthen their faith and trust in the Universe.
In this blog I am going to share 11 things you need when surrendering to the Universe. Life is not about knowing the outcome of where you are going, it’s about experiencing everything along the journey, creating moments that fill you with peace and joy, and most importantly pursuing your soul purpose in order to do your part in expanding the Universe. That is what we are all here for, to help expand the Universe with more light and love, and we do this in different ways depending on our journey.
So, what do you need to know in order to surrender to the Universe?
1 Have Patience
As humans we can feel so rushed to get to some future moment where everything is completed, yet the Universe is constantly reminding us that nothing is ever completed. When we learn to carry patience we can begin to feel at peace along our journey. Surrendering to the Universe is about knowing that everything is unfolding in the right way and at the right time.
2 Ask for Support
You are not meant to do everything on your own, and your need for control comes from a deep wound that says you have to take care of everything in order for it to work out in the way you want. The Universe says, what if there is something better for you, what if there is an easier way, what if you stepped back and everything worked out better than you could’ve planned. Asking for support can be done in many different ways, and ultimately it allows you to release the energetic resistance you’ve been carrying. You can ask your Angels and Spirit Guides for support. You can ask a mentor or healer for support. You can ask your family or friends for support.

3 Focus on the Blessings in Your Life
Having gratitude and appreciation for all the good in your life puts you in an energetic frequency of love. Surrendering to the Universe is about getting yourself into an energetic frequency of acceptance in order to let everything unfold as it’s meant to. When you are stressing and worrying you are creating resistance and you are not surrendering. When you are appreciating you are filling yourself with love and you are basically saying “thank you Universe for bringing these good things into my life” which allows the same energy to flow into your life.
4 Moments of Laughter
The energy you carry when you are laughing is complete enjoyment and you create a magnetic aura that says “life is fun”. The Universe wants you to see life as being fun because it truly is all about the experience you are having. When you are able to enjoy your experience while surrendering to the Universe your magnetic aura attracts more moments of enjoyment. In your practice of surrendering, find time to laugh and have fun.
5 Talk to Yourself through Your Worry
Your mind is 90% repetitive, so even if you try to avoid, ignore or deny your worry, the same thoughts will pop up tomorrow and the next day. Your thoughts don’t define you and they don’t have to control your experience. It’s up to you to change your thoughts and transmute the energy you are carrying. When you talk yourself through your worry you can more easily guide your mind back to a peaceful space in order to release the tension your mind has been carrying and come back to surrendering to the Universe.
6 Grace through Your Emotions
You are meant to have emotions, they are part of your experience. When you judge or criticize yourself for having emotions of anger, sadness, frustration or bitterness you are blocking the energy from flowing out of your energetic body. This is what stops you from surrendering to the Universe because the energy of these emotions are staying stagnant within you. When you carry grace for however you feel emotionally you allow the energy to flow through you and out of you. Then you are able to guide yourself back to peace and joy much quicker.
7 Fun Hobbies
You need to fill your time with things you enjoy doing. Rather than sitting around pouting about your current situation, or forcing yourself to do all the things you don’t enjoy doing, you need to create moments of fun and enjoyment in your life. Surrendering to the Universe is about reminding yourself that the Universe is taking care of the plan, and all you need to do is get into an energy that feels good so you can attract all the right opportunities to you. Having different hobbies that you enjoy allows you to live in the present, create uplifting energy, and it stops you from sitting around and worrying.
8 A Mantra that Brings You Peace
You are human, so it’s easy to forget some things, especially when you’ve been triggered into a stressful, overwhelming moment. Having a mantra that is easy to remember and is filled with uplifting energy is a great tool to use to guide yourself back to peace. For myself I used, “I am safe, everything is working out for my highest good.” and I would repeat this while breathing deeply until I felt my energy shift into something that felt peaceful.
9 A Way to Decipher Signs & Messages from the Universe
The reason you are choosing to surrender to the Universe is because you want to believe that the Universe can guide you on your soul path. How do you know when to take action on something if you don’t know what the signs & messages from the Universe mean? Part of surrendering is being able to trust yourself to receive the signs & messages from the Universe and decipher the meaning of these messages. Learn more about receiving signs & messages in this blog.
10 A Clear Purpose
The Universal Plan for your life is aligned with your soul purpose and the Universe wants you to live out your purpose because it helps the Universe expand. Over the centuries the Universe has been expanding energetically because of all the people who have been living out their purpose and working to bring more light and love into the world. The Universe expands because we are creating more energy, hence energy being limitless. When you are clear on your soul purpose and at least one aspect of how you can live out your purpose it allows you to surrender to the Universe even more. This is because you are focused on living true to your purpose now, rather than waiting for something to come to you in the future. Your purpose doesn’t need to be some grand thing.
11 A Strong Connection with the Universe
How can you surrender if you don’t feel connected with the Universe? How can you trust if you feel misaligned? Your connection with the Universe is the most important part of being able to surrender to the Universe. You are part of the Universe because you were created from the Universe. When you learn to connect with the energies that surround you it becomes easier to trust yourself and your path as you follow the Universal Guidance that comes to you.
Surrendering to the Universe is a commitment, it’s a lifestyle and each new day you are given an opportunity to choose to surrender or to try and control your surroundings. Your path to learning to surrender and embody alignment doesn’t need to be something you have to figure out all on your own. Opening ourselves up to receive guidance and support from someone else is often exactly what we need to accelerate our growth and our ability to live out our purpose.
