Every year I go through the same cycle of feeling both excitement and heavy uncertainty at ‘what’s next’. At this stage I’ve gone through the cycle enough times to know it’ll always work out - even if it works in the opposite way I expected or things get really bad before they get better. I always find a way through by taking it one step at a time. Nothing in life is certain, but part of the adventure is trusting yourself to navigate it nonetheless.

An interesting thing I’ve started doing is talking to the part of me that fears/is uncomfortable with the unknown. I always find - by gently asking questions - the uncomfortable feeling/part comes from events (usually in childhood) when the unknown brought “bad” things when I didn’t have agency or established trust in my ability to navigate said things. A sense of peace always follows

I love that reflection exercise! Thank you. When I do this, the uncomfortable feeling often comes from looking into the far future at where I’d like to be and getting overwhelmed because of the perceived distance and unknowns in getting there. As an example I have a tendency to be on ‘step 5’ of a goal/desired outcome but be worried about step 25. I become overwhelmed because it’ll feel almost impossible to get there but that’s because I’m focusing way too far out on things that most likely will be sorted out by the time I get there because every step of accomplishment/embodiment leads to the next. I haven’t become the person who can tackle step 25 - but by focusing on all the steps before that I do. That’s the process I have to have trust in. My ability to become the person who accomplishes my goals no matter who crazy they may seem today.
