I often wonder if more of us don’t choose to risk doing what we’d love because the fear of the unknown is just too great. I wonder sometimes if this is why I was always too broke or too busy to take the time or make the time… I see that pattern in my friends too. There’s always a really good sounding reason why we can’t. But we owe it to ourselves to ponder, are we really protecting our fear?

As I’ve learned to risk my significance and honor the things I want to try, I find there is a serious period of adjustment that happens–especially when I take a vacation. I book it imagining myself having the best time swimming in the lake, sitting around the campfire, watching old movies…but the reality is often much different, at first.

I am learning to remember that bumpy landings are part of any new experience.

As we adjust to the new adventure we seek, there can be anxiety or a bit of panic. But it’s not permanent and it doesn’t mean we’re doing anything wrong.

If we never take the leap, the miracle may never come.

Did you happen to hear Episode 53 where I talk about getting out in the world and doing the things you always say you’re gonna do?

What happens to us when we unplug? What happens when we actually take the time and make the time? And, I often wonder if this is why more of us don’t. Why we say we are, “too busy.”

I know for me there is a serious period of adjustment that happens. Especially when I take a vacation… I book it imagining myself having the best time, swimming in the lake, campfires, old movies like Roman Holiday.

When you plan out fun things like that you think it will be fabulous, right? BUT! Does it ever occur to us that there may be a rumbly landing? There may be a period of adjustment where you need to get used to your new adventure or whatever it is you’re doing.

Rumbly landings. Just like when a plane lands and it’s scary sometimes – but you have a perspective that it’s just the plane and you know it will be over soon.

I am learning to remember that this is part of my experience, a rumbly bumpy landing, and keep in mind that this may happen. Perhaps there will be anxiety or a bit of panic. But it’s not permanent and I haven’t done anything wrong.

Lots of parents know what this is like now as the school year is beginning now.

Could we learn to not freak out and understand this is just part of things?

There MAY be a bumpy landing as we move forward in the new thing we’re doing. What if we remembered this?

I have a little anxiety whenever things start to settle down. Just a bumpy landing… no big deal. But I forgot that’s what it was, and for 24 hours I really had a hard time.

From A Course in Miracles

There is no such thing as a small upset. All upset is equally disturbing to my peace of mind.

10:00

Your ego mind will look for things to be upset about and it will keep changing the channel. Have you noticed this? It will take your two top scary stories and keep serving them up to you. When you don’t take the hook, it keeps trying other stories. What if we could practice saying, hey kiddo, you’re going into a new thing today, a transition, and it doesn’t need to be a big thing.

It doesn’t need to become a major crisis.

Some people I know, experience one bout of anxiety or even a panic attack trying something new, and they say NEVER AGAIN. It’s so sad to me. And those are the people who become so stagnant in their lives.

So, you may want to ask yourself, How do I keep showing up in new situations and transitions? Do I show up with a bad attitude, or do I show up in my shine celebrating my choices?

Interestingly, even though I was feeling anxious and completely forgetting everything I am telling you here right now, I still could see that there was love and support all around me.

My friends sent me letters and funny memes, they didn’t know.

Another friend sent me the best song on Spotify by Ram Dass and East Forest here. I was able to practice because I listened to this.

So there I was in the middle of the night having a panic attack, and I remembered my friends, and the giggles from campfire times, and the song above and I could practice.

At first I was so stressed and I could not settle, but little by little, it got better. I mention this post – as I was saying to myself, exit the wheel! Get off the ride!

Can’t worry about people who judge us for talking openly about how we feel. It’s more about them than anything else.
Keep the perspective. You’re on a journey.
How beautifully things happen, there is support for us always.
Sometimes it is what it is.
And really, there’s nothing you can do but relax your body and breathe.

Wouldn’t it be awesome if we didn’t have to make it about us or make it our fault…

If we could say bumpy landing… instead of conjuring disaster stories. Why oh why do we do this to ourselves when there’s upset and panic.
What happens when you take the time for yourself and you experience anxiety as part of the unwinding?

It’s just a rumbly landing… it doesn’t have to be made more than that.

I share a bit about vacation. And Lake Baths, and fun campfire times. I mention Epsode 7 where I share about camping on Beaver Island.

One night we decided to make up some fun Abraham Hicks rampages of appreciation. We tried to riff as many times as we could about abundance. How cool is that that we as a couple do stuff like this, after 23 years?! We feel into the kind of laughter where I couldn’t catch my breath. Funny for no reason!

My favorite abundance rap:

Constant abundance flows like a dance. Filling my shoes, my shirt and my pants!

Unexplainable tragedies can have the strongest light – miracles.

I know it’s tough, but can we expect love and send love?

Even in the face of tragedy, we still have two choices — love or fear.

Do we consider the way we’re choosing to channel our energy in times like these? Are we sending love and encouragement from a centered place? What are we contributing to the world?

What are we adding when we share on social media when it’s scary, upsetting, or negative?
Are we centered in sending light, or are we centered in fear?

Remember that whatever we dole out, we receive. Buy one get one free.
Being a force of love in your community.

Send love not worry.

Never forget, that tragedy can and often does turn to a miracle. Deep contrast brings a lot into the world that’s powerfully aligned to the good.

We can always choose to remember to send light. How can we stand in our power and offer love and light?
