While I was working on aligning all parts of me, I still didn’t feel motivated to work and was getting worried. Whatever transition I was in the midst of, I told myself, it was taking too long. But, then I realized, I couldn’t rush the process. I needed to have faith, let go, and allow the change process to take place.
As the days continued, I found myself wanting to read novels. Instead of feeling guilty about not working, I just let go, followed my instinct and gave in the transition process. I allowed myself to follow my feelings and do what I felt like doing. Instead of trying to control and change my feelings, I allowed myself to let go and just be in them and see where they would lead me. Before I knew it I found myself thinking more creatively than I had in a long time. I had ideas for designing new projects and had a new sense of excitement, focus and direction. I was able to engage in focused, concentrated work on my new ideas. I realized that allowing myself time and letting go was another part of the transition process. Reading the novels was providing me with nourishment it was part of the compost and fertilizer I needed to replenish the field before I started planting again.
