Leave The Life You Knew
It’s alright if life gets unexciting sometimes, as long as we don’t intentionally keep it that way.~
Humans tend to resist change and cling to the familiar, even when life isn’t going well. We become attached to the status quo. However, change is inevitable, and whether we like it or not, life as we know it will eventually transform.
By embracing the universal force of change instead of resisting it, we may discover an inner strength that empowers us significantly.
Stability and preservation are essential for survival and progress. Knowing when to maintain the status quo and appreciate what has been achieved over time is crucial. There’s always a time and place for change, but it’s important to avoid changing things randomly without considering their effectiveness. No, back and forth.
Stagnation arises when we prioritize maintaining the current state of affairs over embracing growth and change. We must challenge ourselves to step outside our comfort zones and summon the courage to disrupt the existing situation, especially when we find ourselves clinging to comfortable but stagnant situations.
This experience may bring up a mix of emotions, including pain, liberation, discomfort, excitement, and energy. Taking the risk to unblock the natural flow of energy in our lives can be surprisingly freeing, even if it is initially uncomfortable. It’s important to work through the pain.
The process of personal growth and self-discovery is largely an internal one. It is akin to dismantling a dam that we have unknowingly built within ourselves, obstructing the natural flow of our life’s energy and potential. These internal barriers, often constructed from fear, doubt, and past experiences, can stagnate our progress and prevent us from reaching our full potential.
The work of overcoming these internal barriers can be challenging, but it is also incredibly liberating. It involves identifying and addressing the limiting beliefs and self-sabotaging behaviors that hold us back. This may require us to step outside of our comfort zone, confront our fears, and challenge our deeply ingrained patterns of thinking.
However, once these internal obstacles are removed, the river of our life can flow freely. We can tap into our innate creativity, passion, and purpose. We can experience a greater sense of clarity, confidence, and connection to ourselves and the world around us.
When we have removed the internal barriers that have been holding us back, we can simply trust the process of change and allow ourselves to be carried along by the current of our lives. We can surrender to the unfolding of our journey and embrace the opportunities that present themselves.
The journey of self-discovery is ongoing, and there will always be new challenges and obstacles to overcome. However, by consistently working to remove our internal barriers, we can create a life that is filled with meaning, purpose, and joy. We can live in alignment with our true selves and experience the fullness of our potential.
The content of this article was inspired by my journal entries from January 5, 2023, to the present. On that morning, I awoke with a renewed sense of purpose after forty years of feeling uninspired. The coach needed coaching.
I’ve been on a self-discovery journey and wanted to share an update with myself about my progress. I’ll be revealing more about myself than ever before, including how I discarded the seven layers of lies I’ve told myself over the years. This will be a deep dive into my spirit, so don’t be afraid. 🙂
Peace & Harmony, Coach Cher
