When it feels like things are falling apart… ✨

You’re not where you want to be yet.
You feel frustrated with what “isn’t working.”
You wonder how long you can keep putting in so much effort.
You wish your results would change so you can finally feel better.

And you sometimes wonder if you’re even on the right path.

I see you.  I feel you.  I’ve been there.

And every time I feel this way, here’s what I do.

3 Steps To Take When It Feels Like Things Are Falling Apart:

STEP 1. Allow yourself the space to really feel it.

Yes, you must face it and feel it to heal it. You must go there – to the darkest parts of your mind that wants to criticize, condemn and contemplate all the ways you tell yourself you’re not measuring up.  

And as uncomfortable as this all may be,
instead of pushing thoughts and feelings away,
remind yourself….
”When I acknowledge and accept, I can transform.”

You can even write your thoughts down in a journal just to get them out on paper – and this will actually help release the power they hold over you.

It’s helpful to write it out and “see it.”

STEP 2.  See each thought as a dark cloud.

So instead of pushing the thoughts away, think of holding them as little clouds in the palm of your hands and with each thought say…

I see you. 
I acknowledge you. 
I know you want to just keep me safe.
I send you love.

When you recognize that all of the crappy stuff you tell yourself, is just your ego trying to keep you safe (especially when you’re wanting to expand), you can approach your thoughts with compassion and send the fearful thoughts love.  

STEP 3. Declare to yourself “Anything that feels like it’s falling apart or is delayed is actually making space for something more wonderful to come together. “

or is delayed is actually making space
for something more wonderful to come together. “
