With Change Comes Fear....

But Through Fear Comes Courage....

We all go through changes in life: they are unavoidable.

Some people thrive on them but for many, they can cause anxiety, anguish and fear.

Me, I feel a mixture of emotions.

Even when we are at a place in our lives where we don’t really want to be, the idea of making changes in order to better it can sometimes seem too daunting.

And the work entailed to take the first steps too tiring.

But if we stay where we are, isn’t that just as exhausting?

And if we really think about it, can’t change actually be exciting?

Of course it can!

I feel the more we accept and embrace change, the less overwhelming it can be.

But is that always possible?

I think so.

In recovery, we go through many changes. Some seemingly negative but also many positive.

In body, mind and soul.

And the same goes for life in general too.

People move on, times change, life continually moves forward.

Although not always easy and often extremely scary, sometimes if we just take the time to slow down, observe and breath, the realisation that everything will be okay sets in.

And with the fear that leads up to and through change, comes life and all it’s endless possibilities.

And that’s exciting!

So I guess what I’m trying to say is this-

Although you may feel afraid and unsure about changes ahead, know that you are not alone and although nothing is set in stone,

Your future is bright.

Release the lion within yourself!
