Not long ago we talked about goals and ambitions for the year ahead. While those are still in the forefront of my mind, life steps in and takes over, therefore changing the many ways of thinking that we continually experience. Today let’s talk about how to move through these changes and what it takes to trust the process.
When I Started to Trust the Process
Oddly enough, “trust the process” was something I wrote on my whiteboard several months ago, perhaps even a year. It’s something that’s sat by my bedside to look at each morning and night so that I continue to remember how life likes to play itself out.
It’s also something that I looked at differently with each day, understanding that with new times and days that it could mean new things and ideas. Trusting the process can be excruciatingly hard when life becomes uncomfortable, yet it’s a phrase that is known far and wide in the mental health community.
What’s a phrase that hits home for you this month? Is it a keyword maybe? Our a full sentence or book excerpt?

Trusting the Process is Different for Everyone
When I began to let go a little more and start accepting the fact that life knows what it’s doing, the universe started allowing me more time to understand what its plan was.
Trusting the process or letting go even a little is different for everyone but difficult for all of us. What does it look like for you?
Changes in our lives can throw curveballs that we never expect either in a good or bad form. I’ve had a few of both this year and it’s only February! I’d like to say that all changes have been positive but unfortunately not all change is for the good.
We age, our parents age, our pets age, and our children age. We grow new skin and shed it back off and all the while don’t notice a thing until it’s so quickly passed us by.
As I age year over year, I begin to understand more of how life likes to kick you while you’re down…but also how it gives you amazing opportunities to pick yourself back up.
How Do You Trust the Process?
Do you trust your process? Do you even have a process??
Changes create conflict, but conflict creates resolutions. With each new journey we step into a new part of our soul that is created and molded into exactly what it needs to be.
Through headaches, heartaches and anxiety we can come out stronger and more knowledgeable about these new challenges that are upon us.
What is your most powerful challenge to conquer?
Is it as simple as sleeping more soundly with background noises fluttering throughout your home? Or maybe it’s trudging through another pet with health issues that pulls on your heart strings. Is it a family member that relies on you for just a little too much or a friend that brings you down?
The good news is that we can change the changes that are upon us. We can look in the mirror today and know that we are more intelligent, beautiful, and capable than the person we were 24 hours prior.
Change is beautiful. It is necessary. And it is crucial to trust your process.
