I see my sickness surfacing
Permalink  

I have a chance of a wonderful oppurtunity that could bring great joy and adventure to my life. Then my cycle starts

Day 1 - excitement and gusto

Day 2 - reservation and hesitancy

Day 3 - wishy washy ... maybe

and usually on Day 4 I feel the full impact of the old familiar DOOM bubble return because I have been so well trained to my hopes being dashed and finding a big ugly surprise at the end of the rainbow. And then I turn tail, hide and self sabotage to keep from trusting that this oppurtunity is being offered because my HP wants me to experience it, for whatever reason. Not this time, I see my sickness for what it is and the attempts to keep me in the same old cycle of mine and its creation. I am switching teams and this

Day 4 - I am making the decision to Let go and Let my HP take me where I am meant to be and to be part of that team I have to take the first step and say yes.

Thanks for letting me share.

Jen
