Letting go of the familiar can be terrifying, especially for those of us who “plan” our lives. But if we are dreaming of something better, we have to let go in order to allow the new opportunity to arrive. We know this and yet it can be hard to stay the course, especially when our new direction is not clear. Here are some tips that help me:
- Breathe — breathing is key to staying calm — even just 2 minutes of doing slow, deep belly breaths can calm down your nervous system considerably
- Stay focused on your intention — keep visualizing and affirming what you want — this is especially important when you are not sure how to get there
- Trust that all is unfolding perfectly — you don’t have to know the how or the why — it’s being handled by a higher power than you
- Talk with a friend — never underestimate the power of good friend reminding you that it’s all possible
