Can you identify the story that you are running in your head about this change?
Often these stories start with the sentence I can't; I don't know how I wish I could, and why is this happening to me?
If you take a more in-depth look at those stories, they are putting you in a frequency of victim consciousness and are keeping you in a state of disempowerment.
What would it look like if you remixed those "why is this happening to me" questions into "how can I grow from this" or "what is my life asking I do differently."
These insightful questions put you in a much higher frequency to first accept the change that is happening and then responds with grace and gratitude instead of a poor me attitude.
In week 4 of my CIJ class, we dive into penetrating questions; how we can use them in our daily lives to not only connect with other people more intently but the items offer us wisdom and guidance when change can feel so scary.
Have you ever had a chance to witness Buddhist monks make a sand mandala?
The amount of time, presence, patience and mindfulness that goes into each grain of painted and takes days to create.
These sacred visuals are representations of the vast universe.
Because of the teachings of impermanence, they destroy the Mandala once they have finished.
They believe that things do not die, but they merely transform. It is a practice of non-attachment.
It's quite mesmerizing, and if you get a chance to see it in person, I highly recommend it.
Meditate on this concept this week.
Think of the situations in your life that are changing and see if you can find a little more ease into letting go.
Knowing that nothing ever dies, it merely transforms.
