You know that place where you can feel the energetic wave cresting, but are still in the waiting phase for it to finally and completely roll over? That place where it’s confusingly uncomfortable and feels like you are losing something and not simply gracefully “letting go”.
There comes a time when we are gearing up for breakthrough but we seem to go through the breakdown first. And there can be so much resistance because we have had plenty of time to create what seems normal to us that when it is time to level up and grow we can often freak out.
This means it is time to open up to a new normal. At different times in our lives it is time to outgrow the shell we had been in and expand, and this can create a lot of anxiety. It feels so strange and new that it’s scary. Even though you want that new energy, the new opportunities, the growth and wisdom, sometimes it feels like just keeping things the way they were is safer. Ultimately this isn’t true, of course, because eventually it’s incredibly painful to stay stuck.
I like the idea of creating a new normal. For me, it’s a reminder that normal is really whatever we decide it is in our world, and that normal does not have to mean stagnant or boring. Integrating your shifts into a new normal supports you in growing and expanding your understanding so the things that may have frightened you before don’t need to be scary now. You can grow into deeper understanding, grow into new energies you’re experiencing and learn to fly in this new freedom that feels so miraculous to embody.
