A Bit Past the New Moon
The new moon on Wednesday was big. I made plans. I didn't get to everything on my list.
There's always some big astrological event. Planets align. The moon is in a good sign while squaring something.
A lot of people think if they just make an attempt on the right day, everything will work out. They just show up, magically their life changes for the better.
It doesn't quite work like that.
I decided to make a change. I started on Wednesday. I had a very long to do list. Somewhere along the line, I had fear.
I believe you have emotions for a reason. I don't think emotions are something to overcome, or that you can't allow them to affect you. Instead of pushing through in spite of my fear, I decided to feel. After a few moments of admitting I had fear, I realized I wasn't afraid of what I wanted to do. I was feeling rushed. Being rushed created stress. What I was really afraid of wasn't the new thing; it was the worry that the new wouldn't be any better than the old.
I had to stop and think about why I wanted to do the thing. I want the new thing so I can live the way I want, without being stressed. Just because I started something new DOES NOT mean it has to be successful from day one. I am not on a schedule. Things can unfold at a pace that suits me. I have time to learn. I can become a master at my craft, THEN use my skills to support me.
After thinking that through, the fear disappeared. And yes, I still did the thing.
Change does not need to be rapid. Gradual is perfectly fine.
Blessed be, my dears. Stay safe and well.
