When you are in the unknown of a transition , feeling unsure and scared , you can comfort yourself by reminding yourself that all is well in this moment .
Bringing your attention back to the present moment and focusing on empowering thoughts can support you in feeling centered even in the midst of the storm . Add intentional breathing along with this mantra – when you breathe in say “ all ” and when you breathe out say “ is well ” in your head to support your nervous system in settling and allowing yourself to relax .

6 . Give yourself permission to relax and notice the miracles around you .

When you give yourself permission to relax during the change process , you send your nervous system the message you are safe . When you feel safe you can notice the miracles unfolding all around you . Even within the storm of change , there are blessings .
When you relax and take a big exhale releasing what is not serving you , you will start to notice the ordinary miracles and blessings around you , fueling your trust and hopefulness about the future . You can keep a “ blessings ” or “ gratitude ” journal to remind you of your resilience and ability to navigate change with grace .
