Chapter 1: The Challenge of Change

Change can be daunting, and I find myself experiencing this often—particularly during periods of transition in my life. Currently, I am navigating a significant shift, characterized by evolution and new beginnings, along with feelings of both death and rebirth.

The uncertainty that accompanies these transitions can evoke fear and a sense of isolation. While a part of me feels eager for new experiences, another part is paralyzed by the daunting nature of change. Facing the unknown often feels like a leap into uncharted waters, where the outcome is unpredictable. This unpredictability can be frightening.

However, I realize that remaining stagnant is not a viable option. To manifest the life I envision, I must let go of my old self and embrace a new version. This leap into the unknown requires trust that the landing will be gentle, even if I also have to prepare for potential harsh realities.

As I undergo these profound life changes, I have been reflecting deeply on my inner dialogue regarding these experiences. I've noticed recurring thoughts that are counterproductive: “What if…”, “I’m not ready yet”, and “I need someone to guide me.”

There's a tendency to seek external validation and guidance, which isn’t inherently negative. Yet, it’s crucial to strike a balance. My desire for someone else to direct my path often stems from fear—fear of inadequacy and self-doubt regarding my ability to achieve my aspirations independently.

This fear leads me to crave a "proven" methodology to realize my dreams, thus relinquishing my power. By allowing others to dictate my course, I risk ignoring my inner wisdom and instincts.

Fear can be subtle and deceptive. It often takes conscious effort to recognize when I’m allowing fear to undermine my power. Fortunately, plant medicine has been a valuable tool in this journey, reminding me to reconnect with my inner guidance.

Despite the noise of my thoughts, as I engage more deeply with my inner voice, it becomes clearer and more distinct. I am better able to identify and counteract fear-driven thoughts, recognizing when my ego is attempting to dominate my decision-making.

As I navigate these life transitions, I must remember that seeking assistance is valid, but I also have to honor my own process. It’s important to move at my own pace and trust my instincts as I welcome these new phases of my life.
