Transitions - the pause in between past and future

On the transition from caterpillar to butterfly - there is a short period of unsteadiness and vulnerability. This is where you take a breath and steady yourself and get used to your new form. It will feel overwhelming and uncomfortable," this is a part of the process of transition - the pause before you are able to spread your beautiful new wings.
- Sharon MacGregor

Transitions.. that time in between moving from where you were, to where you want to be... can be "overwhelming and uncomfortable" and brings up fears of every kind.  It can also be accompanied by moments of "glorifying" the past, where you run through the highlight reel of what you are leaving behind. Because you have no highlights of the future, you have nothing to build confidence in what is yet to come.

What do you do? How do you continue to move forward?

TRUST. Trust in yourself and your ability to persevere. Trust in your ability to take care of yourself and your responsibilities. Trust in your vision for your future. Coming back to how you want to feel (your CDFs), trust that these are relevant.

This will require some honesty about what was not working before -- so you can begin to visualize the UPGRADED view of your future. By doing this, you change your relationship to the past, and you will give yourself something concrete to focus on in the future.

#trustlife This will require some faith that life is working for you. No matter how uncomfortable it is right now, looking back at your life, you will see where things worked out in some magical ways, in ways you could not have even imagined, much less create.
When the butterfly emerges from the cocoon - life is completely different, everything is NEW -- even how she gets around is different. She could cling to her branch, keep her new wings closed, just craving the past... but what a waste that would be.

She simply needs to take a breath, accept that she is new, and life is new, and then slowly orient herself, and start looking at her new options. She can spread her wings and trust that she is ready for what is to come.

If you are also in this that pause in transition, it will be helpful to #knowyour5...
What 5 things worked out in the past in a magical way (without your input)?
What 5 things that were not working in your recent past?
What 5 things you will choose to focus on in this new leg of the journey?

As always -- build a  vision board -- to help keep your focus on what you want, and ignite your CDFs.

Are you ready to take flight?
