Who are you afraid will leave if you start living the way you deeply want?

Get your pen and journal out because this is going to be a fun one.
Today’s question will help you get real with yourself. Oftentimes, we are afraid to make necessary changes in our lives because we’re afraid of what others will say. We are more concerned with continuing the norms around us because we don’t want to ruffle any feathers.
There comes a time in life when certain relationships no longer serve you. Or certain behaviors around certain individuals are no longer the route you need to take.
There may be a possibility you fear changing but there are people who will welcome that change as a long time coming. It could be that they were just waiting on you to take the first step. There is also the possibility change could cause you to lose friends, family, or a romantic partner because they aren’t ready for you to make that change.
Regardless of the possibilities, fearing the loss of anyone due to living the way to want is irrational, but understandable. As you go along on a journey of discovery you want those around you to either come along or be by your side in support. The reality that either of these options can be ignored by those you love and care about would strike fear in anyone.
Express that fear and mourn the loss ahead of change in your journaling. This way if things are fine, you’re okay. However, if things go south, you are still okay.
Remember to show yourself grace and compassion. Also, show the person or people you’re afraid to lose a little compassion too. Change is hard for anyone whether directly or indirectly.
