The important thing is this: To be able at any moment to sacrifice that which we are for what we could become. - Charles DuBois
Do you struggle to step into your new life because you’re still hanging on to the old one? No matter how badly you might want to change your life, clinging to old circumstances that no longer serve you will prevent you from being able to move forward.
It’s scary to let go of what is familiar to us, even if it doesn’t make us happy. Most of us would rather stay in comfortable and familiar circumstances (even if they are unfulfilling) rather than move into new and uncertain territory. That’s a normal reaction, but a limiting one all the same.
In order to make room for better circumstances, you need to let go of your current ones. You don’t have to do it all at once, but at least one thing at a time. Are you clinging to old friendships that don’t contribute to your life anymore? Are you still working at the job you’ve had since young adulthood even though your pay is capped and you’re bored out of your mind?
Are you stuck in a loveless marriage but too frightened to move on? Whatever situations are keeping you stuck, be willing to release them in order to make room for something better.
When you begin this process, it brings up all kinds of scary feelings. When you remove a set of circumstances that once served as a foundation, other parts of your life may collapse of their own volition. You may find yourself floating in a dark void that may not be filled up right away.
You may feel empty, lonely, terrified and unbalanced. All of this is a normal part of the growth process. Simply turn within and allow your inner guidance to lead the way. Ignore any temptation to succumb to panic and instead just go with the process one moment at a time.
Enjoy the weightless feeling you get after releasing something that no longer serves you, and keep affirming that something better will fill that void soon – and it will happen sooner than you think!
