I love my life- especially my job- but I used to struggle a lot in the past.
My main problem was the idea that giving up what I had to potentially end up with something better was a major gamble. It welcomed a lot of fear and anxiety into my life. It tainted even the best moments, and made me question everything around me.
What happened if I lost what was there?
Who would I be if I didn't have what I do now?
What would I become if I couldn't sustain my current way of life?
No matter what I did, I just couldn’t seem to get rid of the fears- and the fatigue they brought. And what annoyed me the most was that everyone around me seemed to be handling it so much better than I was.
Yes, I was comparing myself to others and that was problem #1.
I also felt like I had to constantly overperform simply out of fear that someone would take things from me before I was ready to make the decision to move onto bigger, better things.
But then, one day someone did step up and take from me all the things I'd feared losing. A few years later it happened again, and again... Until I finally woke up and realized there was a way out of this cycle.
Each time I lost, I won. Each time I feared it would break me, I was absolutely fine in the end. I didn't need to fear loss, because even if I had no idea where the change would land me, I began to realize that I had what I needed.

I realized I would always be fine.
Not only would I be fine, but losing something that didn't quite fit always made room for the next, bigger & better thing.
It was a complete change both for my habits and mindset.
Now even in moments when the doubt creeps in, & that fear begins to take hold, deep down I know I am capable of flourishing and creating within the space of loss.
