Trust

Just when the caterpillar thought the world was over, it became a butterfly. — Proverb

Nothing is ever as it seems. What looks bad today, can be a blessing tomorrow. — Iyanla Vanzant

Perhaps the most valuable part of going through so many radical changes has been the development of trust. Trust in myself, my worth and resilience, and trust that in the process of life itself things work out for the best in the end.

In the end, everything will be okay. If it’s not okay, it’s not yet the end. — Fernando Sabino

It’s the darkest and most trying times that have given the biggest breakthroughs. Similar to a plane taking off, the greater the resistance being faced, the higher the lift. Transitions from the known and familiar, into change and the unknown can still be very uncomfortable, nevertheless. While navigating them, if one is resistant and dwells too much in the past they often experience anger or depression. And if the focus is too far ahead into the future, anxiety can become a problem. Either one, unaddressed, can manifest as health conditions. But consciously choosing your focus and internal dialogue, with regular practices and tools (such as affirmations and breathwork) to ground and center in the present moment, can maintain peace of mind, protect health and foster internal trust and resilience.
