When Life feels Uncertain...

The only constant in life is change, right? And that change happens in many different ways and for all kinds of different reasons. Sometimes we intentionally want to make a change, sometimes a change is forced upon us, and sometimes we are changing without even being fully aware that we are. Regardless of how it happens, change always comes with its own set of challenges because it is unknown. Maybe our changing brushes up against our childhood best friend the wrong way. Maybe change means we need to make a move and live in a different location. Maybe change means that we just don't like the things that used to be our favorites. One of the things that I have seen as a constant, in every successful change, is tuning in to our OWN inner knowing as the guide. Tuning in sounds really easy, and it is simple to do, but it can be hard in the world we live in- where everyone has an opinion about everything, including your life. With all of the noise of the outside world coming at you, it can be really hard to hear what you truly want. When it's hard to hear yourself, it's easy to fall in to the "I don't know. I don't know what to do next, or which way to go." Sound familiar? Of course, you don't know what to do when Joe thinks you should do X and Sally thinks you should do Y and society says it's better to do Z. The only opinion that matters is yours though! I know that sometimes our choices and changes affect other people too, and it is up to them to check in with their own Inner Knowing to respond accordingly. So when you sit alone, close your eyes, and breathe deeply to check in with your would inside, what do you notice? What feels like the next right step? I promise you are the only one who knows the right answer for you.
