Hello Beautiful Souls,

Have you ever experienced an internal transformation so big, so dramatic that you didn’t know what you were changing into? You’re doing your self-development work and suddenly the future just looked blank? You had no idea what was going to happen?

That’s really scary because of course.
We want to know what’s on the other side of change.
We want to know if there are lions and tigers over there!
We want to know what we’re going to need in order to feel safe and comfortable on the other side!

If we can’t see what’s going to happen, if the future looks blank, it’s really hard to quiet down those frightened voices in our head.

Something I’ve realized when I’m in those kinds of changes is that when I can’t see the future it’s because the future is so different from what’s happening right now that I don’t have the right perspective to be able to see it. I simply don’t have the mind set, the outlook, or the capacity that I need in order to envision that future. Who I am right now, versus who I’m going to be, are so different I can’t even see the future me – or where I’ll be when I get there.

The eyes that I have now, have worked for the past up til now, but the eyes that I’m going to need in order to see that future haven’t formed yet… I’m in the process of forming those eyes. The mindset, the perspective, the ways of thinking and being that I have right now, which again have worked from the past until now, don’t work for the future. I’m going through such an enormous change that I’m having to create a new mindset, a new perspective, a new way of thinking and being – and I haven’t yet. I’m still in the process of creating them.

The future isn’t dark. It’s just not visible with my current outlook – which is in the process of grand transformation.

This is really helpful because, actually, now I get excited when this happens.
When I can’t see the future I know I’m going through a huge up-leveling.
I know that the work I’m doing right now is so on point that I’m going to change a lot.
I’m turning into a really new person.
A giant metamorphosis.
A completely new me.
That’s exciting.

So next time you’re in a place where the future is totally blank, dark – you’ve no idea what’s going to happen – recognize that that’s because you’re allowing yourself such a big change that you can’t even see it yet. The you that you’re becoming – you’re not that person yet.
And you will be.

And as you move towards it, you will be able to see it.
It will start to become clear.
Breathe.
And keep doing your work. (It’s working! Yay!)

You can say something like this to yourself, “Okay, I’m on this side of this change. I’m still the old me, but I’m becoming someone new. I’m brave. I’m courageous. I’m going to do this, and it’s going to be amazing. Might not be easy, but wow, it’s going to be worth it.”

I hope that helps,
Eléna
