Have you ever watched a young child take their first step? They slowly get themselves together, rise up on their chubby legs, sway around to get their balance – and very gracefully fall on their behind.
The little one tries again and again.
She hears a sweet voice encouraging her to take her first step. She looks up and is now able to focus on what is in front of her rather than looking at her soft white shoes.
She allows herself to smile, lets out a belly laugh, and off she goes…
I was recently reminded of this, as I needed to learn how to take my next step forward.
As you know, life can throw you a curve ball when you least expect it. You’re going along feeling confident, focused, in the flow – and then suddenly your world changes forever.
Let me share with you what helped me find peace in a most challenging time in my life. Perhaps, you’ll find this helpful if you are ever faced with a life-changing event that requires you to slow down and look inward.
How To Take The Next Step Forward
- Allow yourself to go to the deepest part of your soul and feel your pain. The gut wrenching pain that only you can feel, taste, and smell.
- Allow yourself to weep, really weep, and let it out.
- Allow yourself to get messy! I mean really messy!
- Allow yourself to just be – nothing more.
- Allow yourself to tend to your own needs.
- Allow yourself to do the best you can – even though you believe it’s not.
- Allow yourself to go the dark places that scare you.
- Allow yourself to grieve for what was and what will never be a part of your life again.
- Allow yourself to be vulnerable.
- Allow yourself to let your armor down and begin to share your emotions with trusted friends.
- Allow yourself to eat lots of junk and not feel guilty, (even though you may get a stomach ache).
- Allow yourself the time needed to regain your balance and seek out those who can assist you in your own healing.
- Allow yourself to be cared for, to receive and ingest the light deep within.
- Allow yourself time to rest … lots of time to rest.
- Allow yourself time to get use to your “new normal”.
- Allow yourself permission that you don’t need to have a plan or an answer.
- Allow yourself to sit back and celebrate a life well lived.
- Allow yourself to daydream, to think big and never stop yourself from doing what you want to do – without feeling guilty.
- Allow yourself to embrace life with all of your heart.
- Allow yourself to love fully.
- Allow yourself to soften, to be fully present with yourself and others.
- Allow yourself to create sacred space for ceremony.
- Allow yourself time. Time to say “I love you” and drink in what that truly means.
- Allow yourself to sway like a young child until you regain your balance.
- Allow yourself to be courageous and take the next step into your new way of being.
