It has been all systems go in the Ng household this last week. Our house move is coming together really well and everything has been APPROVED. It has really started to sink in just how exciting it all is and the change it is going to bring to our lives.
The amount of space we are going to have will is a game changer. Max has more space to run around and have fun, my office will no longer be in the garden and but for the first time ever we have a driveway!!!! This small feature, that many take for granted is going to allow me be FREE. For years I have been dictated to around timings and making sure I am back before people get home from work, just so I can get a space. We have chosen to not go to places in the evenings, as we will have nowhere to park when we get home and over time have restricted our lives. It got to a point where I couldn’t take it anymore.
I was starting to feel imprisoned in my own home!!!! Something had to change.
When we let external factors impact on how we feel and the actions we take we can become imprisoned in our surroundings.
This is how it feels when you are dealing with the aftermath of trauma. You feel consumed with fear and guilt and before you know it, you have created such a small but safe comfort zone around you that keeps you safe but stops you from doing so much!!!!
Giving yourself space opens your mind up to new opportunities, new actions, new thoughts, new beliefs and before you know it you start to change and begin to create a new life.
We adapt our lives to suit our situation and we often forget that through out all of this we still have choices. We find ourselves giving in to others and letting them or the situation around us control how we live our lives.
It is only when we CHANGE something, that we notice the difference.
If we always do what we have always done, we will always get what we have always got.
If I carried on letting others people’s cars restrict when I went out, I would constantly walk everywhere.
If I carried on blaming myself for doing something wrong, for putting myself in a position where these things happened to me, I would still be struggling now.
If you want to Change, BE THAT CHANGE.
The truth is change doesn’t just happen, it comes from a decision, a thought, a feeling from within you, that burns away and pushes you to break that cycle. You can’t just expect things to get better and still carry on doing the same thing.
Change creates new beginnings, it allows us to start again and let go of the old. It gives us SPACE. Space to take control, to breathe freely, to think clearer and to live life.
Don’t let your past steal your future. Make today the day to break that cycles of Fear, overwhelm, guilt or anxiety and give yourself space.
You can do this.
Love as Always
