New Beginnings:
Have you ever had the feeling that you were on the brink of something great? Like a big change, a move, or grand shift in your life. New beginnings can produce a quiet feeling of excitement, and nervousness. These emotions often arise from the transitional state between your current position and your anticipated destination, a space where you haven't entirely arrived. It is a transitional period filled with purpose, promise and uncertainty. During this unique time is essential to focus on the positive as well as remaining focused on your desired outcome. Transitional periods can make you feel vulnerable to the world around you, which is a grounding feeling that makes you pay close attention to everything going on in and around you. Although this may feel overwhelming it happens purposely so that you are able to tune in to the guidance that spirit is sending you in your environment. You want to remain hopeful and excited about the future so that you can help manifest the best possible outcome. Have you ever heard the saying that what you expect is what you experience? Well, this saying would apply in the circumstance of transitioning from one way of life to the next. It’s understandable to feel uncertain and anxious during difficult times. Here are some tips that might help you remain hopeful and excited.
First, imagine a positive outcome for your future. Make it your priority to visualize the big picture of things going well and identify the steps to achieve it.
Secondly, you want to practice mindfulness which largely means to focus on the present moment. Find joy in the simple things in life, spend time in nature and stop to smell the flowers.
Thirdly, express gratitude for the moment and reflect on the things you currently have in your life to be grateful for. Focusing on gratitude will help you to manage your thoughts and emotions so that you can transform them from negative to positive.
Lastly, be kind to yourself and others. Acts of kindness towards others will foster good feelings within and it temporarily shifts the focus from your situation to that of the person you are helping.
Remember, it’s okay to feel overwhelmed and anxious during uncertain times. However, by taking small steps to stay positive and hopeful, you can build resilience and overcome challenges. A greater new beginning is coming so stay strong.
