Permit Yourself to Thrive
Don’t resist fear; lean into fear.
If you allow it, fear will control your life and when you let fear control the action, it will control the outcome. What if instead, you witnessed your fear as a need to explore, a need to learn more about this feeling that is arising for you. If you let it, fear can instead drive your success pushing you to take advantage of the opportunities that may seem unrelated in the moment.
The Guidance is intentional. The timing, opportunities, sadness, fear, and success are all put on your path for a reason at the perfect time. It is up to you to lean in and go for it. Witness the fear as a nudge to step in and take the opportunity for a life far greater than you could have imagined.
Have grace and compassion for Self
It is essential to have complete grace and compassion for yourself when you are going through these transitions or taking on a new opportunity. It is crucial to know that it is okay to fail and mess up; that is the only way we, as human beings, learn. Know that if things don’t work out, this opportunity was given to you to learn and grow, that although the outcome was probably not what you predicted, it still has meaning to your journey.
A few ways to get through the self-doubt and push through the fear are:
Reframing your thoughts
Staying true to your boundaries
Breathing exercises
Grounding practices
Leaning on community and people
Know that you are so resilient, that you have done hard things before, and you can do hard things again. Know that this is not the most challenging thing you have done; it is just another thing you need to get through right now.
Take a leap of faith, and lean into the fear. The Universe has something grand planned for you. Something in alignment with your purpose, perfectly on time.
Permit yourself to thrive
If you have ever had a glowing light of clarity, you may have recognized that a lot of the times those moments come at a time of change. A time of transition into a new stage of life. As humans, generally we default to panic mode when those challenges arise, but when you allow yourself to feel those emotions that arise, you give yourself the permission to thrive.
There is power in unlearning and remembering who we actually are. And who we are is not wrong, there is a lot of duality to which I am not exactly who I want to be but I'm ready to grow.
I had a great conversation with a long-time friend over on the Journey to Alignment podcast, where we discussed what it means to permit yourself to thrive.
