In the last post, we talked about the impact of stress and how it can be beneficial to let it go, but I didn’t exactly give any particular advice on how to do this. So with this one, I’d like to explore where it’s best to sit back and have a break so I can come back to life feeling rested and grounded.

Death: new beginnings, transformation, rebirth

So with this spread, I’m seeing that there are a few things I can do to relax and ground myself again so I can give my full attention to my tasks when things get busy again. One thing I need to pay attention to is how much I’m giving in terms of helping people understand the truth of their situations. There’s only so much I can say and so often I can say it before it dips into being controlling. That has never been my intention in trying to help people, but to the outsider looking in, it may seem that way. No… I need to take care to not do this too often. Secondly, I need to be aware of what I’m trying to balance in my life and where things can be lost. I usually have alot going on during the month of October and it makes sense that I won’t be able to do it all before needing to step back. But if I can find the happy balance between juggling the responsibility of being a business owner with the life details outside of that, then I will be able to make the next steps in my journey.

The other question to answer with this is what does my journey look like? Well, so far it seems that I’ve gotten past the first steps and made the best effort not to make any hasty choices in the process of starting my journey. I’ve been working towards achieving a prosperous, confident and independent lifestyle and this new beginning has given me the opportunity to come to that. I’ve had to transform some of the perceptions I’ve had of my past and who I am now and while this has been challenging, I definitely feel like the transformation has started in me, and I’m grateful for it. Why? Because that means I can move forward with my goals without fearing failure and self doubt.
