Can’t See The Forest For The Trees
Right now, all I can see is trees - the tree that is right in front of me, the tree that is right beside me, and it feels like….all the trees behind me. I am trusting the forest is there, but it feels really overwhelming right now. The things I have to do just keep piling up and the post-its I use to remind me of things are falling like leaves in autumn.
So, I have to take a deep breath.
And focus on the big picture - chaos now so there can be clarity later.
Just like when I clean - it’s always incredibly messy and uncomfortable before it looks how I want it too.
I have to trust the process.
Moving forward is never seamless and maybe that’s one reason why folks try to avoid it.
I have to tell myself that there is a forest waiting for me.
It’s vast and promises me possibility.
In a year, this chaos will be forgotten and I will be onto something else.
The trees are:
-doubt
-overwhelm
-scarcity
-fear
-imposter syndrome
But there are other trees that I am not seeing:
-boldness
-tenacity
-growth
-curiosity
-freedom
-ease
-replenish
-creativity
Therefore, if I can look for those ones - they will help me move past the others.
