Transitions are explorations and frustrations. I am often asked, “Why is it so hard to figure out what is next for me?”
You haven’t been here before and who you were in the past is a part but not the whole of who you are. Shift your perception of having to grab answers now and drop into the mystery. Our world is in an unknown, as well. Ask, what did I use to love to do? Who did I like spending time with over the years? What place brings back great memories? Simply begin to know you again.
1. What is peaking through like in this photo? What do you have a glimpse of interest in today?
2. What is needed for you to explore your new life? Support, resources, a push out the door?
3. Who can meet you for coffee and simply focus on you and this question of what is next for you?
4. What do you remember that leaped you out of bed. Late last night when I was curled under the covers, I saw the full moon beaming through my windows . I grabbed my camera, no shoes, and had to see what I could see and photo.
The photos weren’t great but the leap was fun.
5. Play. We forget to play and it ignites us
6. Plan something that nurtures you. Really do it and not just chat about it. I want to go for a massage but I talk myself out of it because it takes time and might not be a great experience, let alone spending the money.
7. If nothing comes to mind and heart, decide to value the life you have right now. Your life is meaningful.
Have a fun weekend three day weekend.
Send me your questions. Let me know what keeps you up at night.
