Will You Get Uncomfortable?
Getting uncomfortable on purpose seems kind of backwards.
Yet when we leave our comfort zones and work our lives away from familiarity, that’s precisely what we’re doing.
I hate this part.
There is nothing more disconcerting than effecting a major change in your life. Really, how crazy is it to move away from the comfortable, on purpose, in order to create something that may be better…or, possibly, might be worse?
But that is how consciousness creates reality. We make our choices, decide to take action, and when the day is done we manifest something new and different.
Why must it be uncomfortable? I can think of several reasons for this. First, because when we are consciously choosing our destiny, we are doing something new, and different. Our society of lack and scarcity emphasizes creating comfort, so stepping away from that is rebellious. We are also taught from a very young age that it can be something to fear.
When you consider how many mixed messages, paradoxes, and other so-called truths or “reality” we accept in our modern society, it’s hard to believe we’re not more schizophrenic. Sex is dirty…but buy that product and you’ll get laid. Earn all the money you can…but the wealthy are evil. Be thin and healthy…but eat this delicious pie! Is it any wonder so many people suffer depression, anxiety, and other mental illnesses?
Another reason we get uncomfortable with change is because we don’t know how it will turn out. Might be good…might be awful. Could be amazing and empowering…could be horrific and disempowering. The unknown, and the wide array of possible outcomes, good and bad, will make you squirm. Is it any wonder we get uncomfortable from this?
And yet, it is necessary. Because change is inevitable.
Get uncomfortable on purpose, or just get uncomfortable
Have you experienced an unexpected change that made you super-uncomfortable in the moment? It may or may not have passed quickly, but it happened? That’s what happens when you experience a change that you did not necessarily drive.
Some change is majorly uncomfortable, but most is pretty minor. That said, because all change is going to be the cause of some discomfort, that is why we would choose to take it in on purpose.
So here I go, making myself uncomfortable.
Last week I stated that this post on this blog was coming to an end. This is the one-hundredth crossing the bridges post. That is measured in weeks, so it’s just shy of two years. I am going to be continuing to post on Fridays, but it is moving over to my author website, and getting some topical alterations.
I am not entirely comfortable closing this and moving it to my other website. However, I think it is a necessary change. It is also a step towards creating more accountability for my writing, and preparation to begin podcasting.
I am still working on the details of my podcast. There may be two. The first will be along the lines of the overall theme of conscious reality creation on this blog. It is tentatively titled Awareness for Everyone. I may be using it as a platform to launch some life coaching. My goal is to have the blog started up in September.
This is scary. I am going to be putting myself out there in a new and different way. There is new technology I must familiarize myself with. I need to determine formatting, and see if I will need any additional assistance from anyone to make this thing fly.
Uncomfortable can be exciting or scary, and it’s a choice either way
Part of why I keep writing about this here is to put it out there, so that I will make it happen. This is an intentional action.
So I said two podcasts. The second would be fiction. I would be reading a chapter or two of Seeker, the first novel from The Source Chronicles, every week. Serializing the novel. That’s a bit more complicated, but it could be very worthwhile. I really have wanted to turn it into an audio book. Finder, too.
The challenge, of course, will be changing my voice for different characters. If I go with that idea.
Change that I am choosing, deciding upon, and directing. Yes, this makes me uncomfortable, but I believe this is super worthwhile. I am more excited than scared.
Thank you for following along with these posts. I hope you will enjoy the new blog that will be happening on my author website. Please continue to work on manifesting your dreams, and consciously creating your reality.
Stay tuned. Cool stuff is coming.
As always, thank you for crossing the bridges between my worlds with me.
This is the one-hundredth, and final entry of my personal journey, the Crossing the Bridges series. My collectively published writing can be found here.
