Staying in Process with Your Transformation

Greetings to You ~

Have you had days when you see wonderful possibilities?  Your confidence is high and you take a bold step?

How about the next day when you're not feeling as wonderful?  Old feelings of doubt surface and you're not sure about moving forward?  You feel a bit anxious and start to worry about things not working out the way you wanted them to.

This can stop you in your tracks.  Whether it's taking more action or releasing the need to be overworked and busy.  These are just old habits.

Acknowledge feeling vulnerable.  Acknowledge the feeling of being anxious.  Acknowledge the worry of what may happen or not happen if you make a change.

Allow your feelings to surface without judgment.  These feelings often come up after you're aware that you want to make a change.

Become unattached to the outcome.  We often judge a result as good or bad.  You don't want the "bad" result so you question whether or not it's a good idea to proceed.

Think of your habits as a cocoon.  There is some form of safety in those habits that we protect ourselves with.  A butterfly needs to come out of the cocoon on it's own.  Transformation is a process.

Don't hurry your own process of changing your habits.  The fact that you're aware that something needs to change is something to celebrate in itself.   

If you need to stay where you are for now, doing things the way you've always done them, reacting the way you always have, simply acknowledge and observe that.  Don't judge yourself.

There is no time frame in which you need to change.  Be gentle with yourself and know that you are transforming simply by being aware and noticing old habits.

Stay with the process.  When you're ready to change the habit, hold the intention of observing the result and your emotions with non-attachment. 

Be gentle.  Nurture yourself with some self-care.

You are incredibly valuable no matter what.

Peace and Joy ~
