Make yourself comfortable.
Feel the support beneath your body.
Let your shoulders settle.
And become aware of your breathing.
There is nothing you need to change right now.
You are simply here.
Listening.
Think of a change you would like to make.
Something that comes to mind from time to time.
A conversation to have.
A decision to make.
A new path to explore.
Choose a change you can look at.
Gently today.
Perhaps alongside this desire.
You feel some hesitation.
A voice that says.
Stay where you are.
What if it doesn't work out?
You could lose what you know.
Take a moment to listen to that voice.
Fear often prefers what is familiar.
Even when our habits no longer make us happy,
At least we know them.
See if you can acknowledge the fear without pushing it away.
Where do you feel it in your body?
And your chest.
Your stomach.
Your throat.
Breathe gently.
And give it a little space.
If it feels right.
Imagine speaking to your fear.
I see you.
What are you trying to protect me from?
Then listen.
Perhaps fear wants to spare you rejection.
Failure.
Disappointment.
Perhaps it remembers a time when,
Being cautious,
Truly helped you.
You don't need to find a clear answer.
Welcome whatever comes.
Even if it is silence.
Now you might ask.
Is the danger you're worried about present in my life today?
Do you still need to play the same role?
Take your time with the questions.
Sometimes fear points to something we need to consider.
Sometimes it continues to protect us from a danger that belongs mostly to the past.
And sometimes we don't know yet.
That is an answer too.
Imagine saying to your fear,
Thank you for trying to take care of me.
I will listen to you.
And I will listen to the other parts of me too.
Now,
Turn your attention to your desire for change.
Without trying to justify it.
Ask yourself.
What would I like to experience?
What is calling to me?
Perhaps more freedom.
More honesty in your relationships.
A chance to learn,
To create,
Or to take up more space in your own life.
If a desire keeps returning to your heart,
It deserves your attention.
You can give it a voice.
Even if you don't yet know what you will do with it.
Let that desire speak in a few words.
I would like Then listen for what follows without forcing it.
See if fear and desire can be present together.
You don't have to wait for fear to disappear.
Before you move.
You can consider what it has to say.
And then choose one small action.
In the direction of what matters to you.
What might be that action?
Asking a question.
Exploring a possibility.
Writing down what you want.
Speaking with someone you trust.
A step small enough to take.
And meaningful enough to matter.
Imagine yourself taking that step.
What do you feel?
How do you feel?
Notice what happens in your body.
Perhaps fear is still there.
Perhaps you also feel a little energy.
Or simply a sense that you have been true to yourself.
Welcome your experience as it is.
Come back to your breathing.
Feel the support beneath you.
You can continue this conversation one day at a time.
Listen to fear.
Listen to desire.
And consciously choose your next step.
Take one more breath.
And when you're ready.
.
.
Gently open your eyes.
