what about change?

how are we managing with these life-altering changes to our previously strong structures? are we hanging on tightly to that we knew and loved? are we gripping fiercely to the control we thought we had? where is it that we may deny our own freedoms and limit our own potential? why do we think that holding all of these rocks in our buckets makes them more valuable?

what if we were light and our burdens were easy? how might it feel if we didn’t have a desire to avoid this change? would we still have as much difficulty with the challenges that show up each day? for instance, when an unpleasant experience arises - like confusion, guilt, or shame - what happens when we let go of what we thought the experience should look like. could we choose to open up to the magical mystery of the unexpected?

what is your intended goal with changes? is it to grit your teeth and bare it dutifully or to fling your hands up and shriek with wild abandon?

maybe it’s still easier to move from fear because it’s the place we’ve been moving from collectively. it is a hard pattern to grapple with and not a single one of us is alone in the journey. before jumping to the self-sabotage of “why do I have such a hard time with this? how come everyone else gets to do what they want? when will I finally understand and do better?” let’s just hang back with this idea: 

how are we dealing and coping with the life-altering transitions that are happening across the board? not how to fix what you’re doing or improve upon your efficiency - just to BE with yourself, a check-in. what is it that i utilize in my day when i am scared of what’s to come or grieving what i thought would go on?

now, do those methods work for you, meaning do they achieve the intended goal?
