So, I was thinking today, why is change so hard?
Intellectually, I know that identity is at the heart of it. That when identity is aligned, the thoughts and feelings are congruent with actions and behaviours. There is no fear because it is an energy that flows from somewhere so very deep and authentic. But emotionally, change is tough.
It made me think of the butterfly. A symbol often associated with change. Just imagine for one moment, you are a furry, hungry grub; you get into bed and when you awake you're a magnificent winged creature.
But that doesn't just happen. Think of the physiology that has to happen. For a start you have to grow wings. You are no longer furry and green but multi - coloured and revered rather than squished.
I mean, how much internal and external shift has to happen to be something else? Can the butterfly believe its actually not a caterpillar?
Thinking of clients that want to be someone else. Of myself, and all that I want to be. Change is hard and deep and in some ways painful but we are hoping for that butterfly.
Don't sell yourself short, look at the wing bud and say, no, that's too much like hard work.
Let's be the very best we can be, express every part of ourselves and learn to freakin' fly!!
