Feeling in limbo in the in-between
So many of us experience moments in life where we feel neither quite here nor there — having neither departed nor arrived. Being in limbo, the space in-between or in ‘nothingness’ is a right of passage when moving into your aligned life. With greater awareness and no longer on auto-pilot, you might begin shifting old patterns and letting go of what no longer fits but not yet sure what does.
There is deep wisdom & potential in allowing space for the ‘in between’ — for sitting with what is, what is no longer and what could be.
If you are feeling this, I want to remind you that you are exactly where you are meant to be. This space is such an important part of becoming more You. I know cliche, but it's an important reminder when we get so much pressure to rush, figure it all out and “know everything” beforehand.
An element of unknown is a criteria of intuitive living. But in our world of busyness, productivity and instant gratification tells us to forge full-steam ahead. In other words: Get through it as fast as possible. A pressure to have life all figured out in a perfect box with bow.
It can be a tender place in letting go & moving forward. But these life junctures are a gift. It is fertile ground where thoughts, ideas and inspirations are born. The change you were asking for.
You might be asking yourself, Who even am I? What am I doing? Where am I going? What is my place in the world? Just remember this isn’t something to figure out from the mind, but allow your body to begin to show you, in time, in its own way. Lean into trusting your authority today, without it needing to prove for tomorrow. We are all just constantly evolving more and more into our deepest, truest selves.
Don’t fall pressure to filling the empty space by settling or reverting back. This time will set the tone of the storyline that will play out for the rest.
Remember why you are doing this. Your future self will be grateful for your bravery. Get to know your new version of self as they present, like a third person. What does your future self like, want, desire today? Get to know the real, can feel “new” You.
Take this time to be in receiver discovery mode. To feel what is left unfelt in your body. To hibernate & come back to yourself. To anchor in your intuition in the present. Knowing very well that there is light at the end of the limbo tunnel. Your time will come again, and it is already here right now.
We all know that hindsight is 20/20, but could we give ourselves permission to simply sit in unknowingness until we arrive there?
It’s okay not to know what’s next.
It’s okay to feel the uncertainty & fear.
It’s okay to trust that all is well & this is a necessary part of your expansion.
You are supported, loved and will land on two grounded feet again. There will be times that we must walk through the space of limbo to get there. For now, love yourself through your ‘in betweens’ with the knowingness that it’s all okay. It’s all a part of this journey through the human experience, and you will be so grateful you held yourself through it.
Suggestions during this time:
Find safety in the unknown: ground into your intuition, remind yourself how loved you are in your relationships, that you have a roof over your head, people that want to support you, capabilities that will always be fruitful - you always have abilities to fall back on
Be in curious discovery mode: Be present and follow the Universe’s stimulus offering clues via your body’s response
Dare to choose different, decondition your thoughts and give yourself permission to shift your story
Remember you asked for this change, come back to gratitude of how far you’ve come and that you are in a space to create change
Be a passenger to your intuitive body, it is driving the ship: take the breadcrumbs as they appear without pressure of understanding “why” in the grand scheme of things
Get out of your mind, and into your body DAILY: whatever practices work for you
Have anchor points and structure in the unknown - friend, work out class, meditation, breathwork, practices that support you
Look to your human design for reconfirmation and clues - it can show you where to focus your energy and where your strengths are (should you forget)
Make a recording or journal entry to remind you why you are doing this (for any moments of doubt)
Trust and be kind to yourself, no matter what!
