Transition is hard…

Transition is hard. Like really fucking hard...

That’s why you need to be well equipped. You need your BEGINNING BACKPACK - full of all the right tools to help you move through transition with grace, instead of resistance.

Let’s make a packing list of the equipment to carry inside your Beginning Backpack. You’ll need...

1. VISION

You gotta look forward. Even if you don’t have it all figured out right at this moment, you have to keep your eyes up. When you fall, fall forward. If you don’t have a vision for a future, CREATE ONE.

2. SCISSORS

Cut all those people, things, ideas you’re holding onto so tightly. Some things… can’t come with you.

3. GRACE

The journey is arduous and you are so human it is impossible not to make mistakes. Be gentle with yourself along the journey.

4. FORWARD HEALING

Grieve as you go and as you grow. BOTH can co-exist together.

5. THE BUDDY SYSTEM

Get some quality support. Buddy Up!

6. AN ANCHOR IN THE STORM

Be deeply rooted in prayer, rest, your mission, words that elevate, passion, music, people, etc. When the storm gets really intense, go back to this to keep everything from being washed away.

7. REFLECTION

Form a relationship with your check marks. Celebrate the small wins so you have fuel to keep going.

8. ROOM

Give yourself room to grow, forgive, heal, explore, feel, and desire. Create the space where you are - in THIS moment.

9. MOVEMENT

Take action. Move your environment. Move your static energy. Don’t stop. Keep up your momentum and flow.

10. MAP

Have a loose sense as to where you’re going so you don’t get lost in one the black holes of grief. Make sure the map is flexible as you learn.

11. NOURISHMENT

You have to uplevel your nourishment so you have the strength and clarity to keep going. Nourish yourself with everything you consume - everything you listen to, look at, spend time with. Negative interference can distract your clarity.

Are you equipped with the tools you need in your beginning backpack? Are you best prepared to navigate your transition with grace?
