It is all change for me from this week.
I start childcare of my 10-month-old grandson for two days per week.
Next month I start a 9-month course related to my spiritual direction work.
Therefore, my coaching and spiritual direction appointments can no longer be spread over any old day.
What is changing for you over the next couple of months?
Are you looking forward to the changes or are you anxious?
If anxious, are your fears based on fact or assumption or simply nervousness of the unknown?
It can often help to name the fears and look at what feeds them.
I get nervous if I have a journey to make. I have many stories of getting lost when driving and also getting on the wrong train (e.g. thinking I’m going to Clapham Junction and ending up in Rochester!).
I have no sense of direction so can’t get myself out of trouble when I go wrong.
Those past instances created a fear when a journey was to be made. I notice it rising in my stomach and, these days, I remind myself that it is not a tragedy and I always get to the destination in the end and that I now have the blessing of Satnav.
How do you speak to yourself to quell anxiety?
Get in touch if you’d like help.
