Changes

WHEW! I have missed connecting with you all these past few weeks. “Busy” is an understatement. Nonetheless, business was handled and I’m so glad to be back 😊

So much has changed in such a short amount of time and I’ve been on an emotional rollercoaster. I initially had no intentions of taking a break from The Dash Room. I planned to get my emotions, experiences and lessons into an impactful message but I lost clarity. I couldn’t find the words to inspire or even share in my transparency of the ups and downs of it all. I was moving to a new state for a promotion, then I wasn’t. I had support and then I didn’t. I was excited and then I was depressed. I felt confident, then I felt like I wasn’t ready. At a certain point, I couldn’t stop thinking that it would be easier to just stay where I was. Then I started feeling guilty that I had any negative emotions at all since God was clearly blessing me.

And that was it – I had stopped consulting God about these plans and opportunities. I wasn’t mentally tapped out, but I didn’t feel strongly rooted in my decision. The emotions and opinions of others, the demands of my current role and my new role, and the hustle and bustle of moving started to push God out of my line of sight. I was slave to my emotions.

I’m a firm supporter of embracing your emotions, but not reacting to them. I find I’m more solid when I’m dealing with what I feel and moving accordingly. For me, this means acknowledging what may have led me to feel a certain way, how it impacts my future and what I can do about it.

Once I paused to feel God comforting me, I started to find my grounding again and regained clarity. I was in charge of my emotions and back to bossing up & handling business. Don’t get me wrong – I am tired and could use a day off LOL but my spirit is fed and my mind is focused. My life is full of “new” but I’m not being bullied by the changes; I’m thriving in them (shout out to GOD and the support system of a lifetime).

If and when you face a change (or a lot of them at once), I encourage you to put a reminder of your foundation in a visible place so that you don’t let your emotions and external factors keep you from your blessings!
