Good morning, all! Just wanted to share a breakthrough I had following out first call and from doing the worksheet. I've been struggling for a while with stress and related symptoms of that. This comes after significant life changes - moved from my lifelong home in 2022, struggled to find a job, launched a business, but haven't seen success (yet), and now I've been in my current job for almost 2 years. The job I was in before moving was extremely stressful and in that 20+ years I lived in survival mode. In these past almost 2 years things are completely different. I'm not under the same stress levels, I have flexibility, and the pace is much slower. Despite years of inner work to reach a state of greater inner peace, I've struggled to accept this (though I want aware this was what I'd been struggling with). I started creating new stories, resulting in guilt and shame. "I'm not doing enough," "I've gone backwards," "I just can't seem to get it together." Then, it hit me yesterday, my current reality is what I was manifesting, praying for several years ago, yet I couldn't seem to see it. Now that it is here, I've been resisting it. I finally realized I was trying to recreate the chaos, the stress, the struggle, because, after over 20 years of that, who was I without that? How do I operate without that? Then I realized my nervous system has only ever known that; it doesn't yet know how to operate in this new reality. I was listening to a course module from something I bought a few years ago, where the coach was talking about the curious paradox: once I accept myself, then I can change. So, I started asking, how does that apply to this? And I realized, I lean into this new reality. I stop making moral judgements against myself for not being able to operate in my old hyper-independent, over-achieving, fight or flight paradigm and move from a place of "how can I support myself in this new reality?" My prayer/ manifestation has been answered, yet my nervous system was continuing to operate in the old paradigm. I am not these negative things I've been telling myself, I'm simply living an answered prayer and need to give myself the space and time to acclimate. This realization shifted me in an instant.
