Surrendering Into The UnKnown
filed in Survival vs. Empowerment on Jun 10, 2007
You are still making your way from being in a significant relationship to being single and on your own. You are forced to make changes. You feel suspended in space with no safety net, and no clue what to do next. You are moving out of what was familiar, a relationship, into the unknown.
Fear, tension, doubt may surface from time to time and you may find yourself rushing into a solution to avoid being in an unknown space. Allowing yourself to stay in the unknown and lean into the not knowing as long as it takes is what is called for. You will be letting go of the anxiety and the need to take action to a deeper place inside yourself. Here is where a decision that is in your highest good is more likely to be felt. Often that is not easy. Here are some suggestions.
1. Sit quietly for 10 minutes in the evening, and breath into the doubt, fear or confusion you may feel. Relax your mind, and allow it be be empty. Do not try to figure anything out. Having a calm mind that is not over thinking, will allow you to hear your inner voice.
2.. Check in with yourself when you are about to make a decision. Are you grabbing, clinging or rushing into something because you want to remove your anxiety of not knowing. This is not a decision that is coming from a grounded place.
3. Give up your belief on the timing of when you think things should be done. If you impose a certain timing on yourself you may chose something that is not in your highest good.
4. Get comfortable with the “not knowing”, do not judge yourself or try to assert control over your situation. If you let go of your mind that is so busy trying to figure out, analyze and obsess over a situation, your intuition can unfold. Your intuition or “gut” feeling does not come from analyzing or obsessing.
Finding your right path is what is occurring. You do not want to be anyway you do not belong; so give yourself time and do not rush yourself.
