Becoming ready for any of these steps is not something we decide with our mind. Most situations, behaviours and actions are rooted into our nervous system states and they all serve a purpose until they don’t any longer. 

I am sure you too have had that experience more than once when you feel something is not right and you still choose to go with it - only to find out later on that you indeed were right about it and it wasn’t the right option for you.

There are always 2 ways to look at things. One comes from the aspect of your mind as thoughts and beliefs & the other one comes from the aspect of your body as sensations and feelings.
