I am entering a transition period in my work, which then triggers making a transition in more aspects of my life. I am excited about exploring new possibilities, but uncertainty gives me nightmares (possibly literally). I am essentially starting with a blank slate to mold as a I choose fit. I can develop the skills I desire, set the habits I have been putting off, and chart the path I have always wanted to follow. With potential being so great, I have to admit my fear is a strong runner-up. Rather than setting myself up for success in all of these areas, instead I think too much about what won’t work out.
As I contemplate this new season in my life, I remember I heard someone say that if you can worry, you can envision your future. So rather than thinking of all the things that can/will go wrong, I can shift towards thinking what I want to happen. If I can take just a fraction of my honed worrying skills, I can fill in the same level of detail on the life that I want for myself.
This is a very short post, but I want to get into the habit of posting here more frequently. That’s just one of the things I am envisioning for myself.
