Transitions are Part of the Journey

Without exception, when the moment of THIS NEEDS TO CHANGE, NOW, has arrived, all of us have felt side-swiped by that moment. It’s not convenient. It’s a moment that acts as both our albatross and our lighthouse, in equal measure. Kate Courageous 

The time to change, the time for change,  the time for a shift happens for me when I am going through discomfort. When things in my life seem t be ging haywire. I don't usually know how this change  will manifest itself in reality and I have stopped wondering because usually when it manifests it blows my mind, because it is a gazillion times better than what I thought it would be.
Sometimes it is hard, as humans we like comfort, we love certainty, we want assurance that all is well. In a transition period those are not guranteed...at all.
But it doesn't always have to be hard, when we let go, it becomes easier. Letting go does not mean giving up or settling, it means trusting the process, doing the wrk and trusting your intuition.

 I say this to remind myself. There are so many transitions happening with me at the moment. I will be honest, I want it to stop. I want comfort and certainty. I want peace. I want results.
We cannot move to the next level with comfort and certainty. Risk is required.
Risk and uncertainty are the qualities that bring out faith and trust. Two other essential qualities that are required on the Journey.

 The discomfort is part of the Journey. Accept that and it will help
Discomfort meaning doing new things that may scare you. Discomfort meaning feeling inconvenienced. Discomfort may mean vulnerability. 

 Do a new thing.
Do a new thing.
Do a new thing.
Peace

Redefinition of Lose

Rather than think about what you have to do to change a situation, consider what the situation might be doing to change you. How it might be seasoning and transforming and growing you. You are not responsible for everything and everyone. Allow that as a possibility. Jessica Dore There are some situations that are simply in your life showing you how to shift, how to be flexible, to grow, to transform. You long for change, yet you cling so to the familiar. You are so afraid of what you think you will lose. You are even afraid to lose the things you don't want. The familiar becomes your family, regardless of what it is. let's redefine "lose" I define lose as opening up to a new possibility The day I stopped saying that I lost my house, lost my marriage, lost my mind, things shifted for me The shift has to start inside How we define and relate to the circumstances in our lives transforms how we act. I started asking myself different question...

What Does Support Look Like to You?

  You save yourself energy when you learn to ask people what they need, instead of assuming you know best then acting on your own impulses. Allowing people to define what support looks like gives you an ability to assess if you have the capacity to show up - Minaa B If someone asks you right now, what does support look like to you, what would be your answer? It takes self reflection , self awareness and more importantly a whole load of authenticity to answer. On the flip side, do you rush to support others without them even asking- there may be times when that is required, however many a time we assume that we know what others want and need. The times when we do assume, after a while a feeling of resentment builds because "how could they be so ungrateful?" or "why are they not seeing their need for my help?" the other classic is "they must need my help to show them because they clearly are not seeing that they need support" We continue to assume what othe...
