Are You Willing to Trust the Wait As You Make Your Fierce Change Journey?
Over 13 years ago, the first blog post I wrote was Waiting for Something. I acknowledged how waiting is part of our daily lives and how we often meet these times with impatience or annoyance. I offered a perspective change. Instead of considering waiting as an inconvenience, what if we treated it as a gift?
While waiting, we have an opportunity for something wonderful to transpire.
If we consider the waiting or transition time a gift, does that alter your experience?
What happens when we remain open and available to change?
Would you extend more love to yourself?
Would you be more willing to navigate the frustrations and challenges pursuing changes can bring?
Recently, I read a quote that brings another dimension to waiting and change. Trust is an essential aspect of your journey. This encourages a deep belief in trusting yourself, the process of change, and all that’s available on the other side. I offer author Mandy Hale’s perspective to you- “Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming.”
When I work with my virtual organizing clients, we begin with their big why in mind. We clarify what is driving the changes they desire. And why now? Understanding the why is integral to the change process. It provides the anchor and motivation when the process of change becomes challenging.
Clients might find it easy to let go and move forward during one virtual organizing session. They experience the state of flow, where their actions align with their goals, and they feel and acknowledge the progress. At other times, they feel stuck, frustrated, and impatient. This is normal. We lean into trusting the big goal and adjusting the organizing process if needed.
“Trust the wait. Embrace the uncertainty. Enjoy the beauty of becoming.”
Change is exciting, but it can also be difficult getting there. With some new tools available, you can trust yourself and the process, embrace the learning along the way, and bask in the joy that comes through your effort.
How do you navigate waiting? What enables you to embrace change? I’d love to hear your thoughts. I invite you to join the conversation.
