My Next Adventure: Thoughts on Transition and Growth

Today is my last day at my airline Administrative Assistant job. I am moving on to a new role, in a new field. I have been wanting this for so very long, and I am working hard to set myself up for success. I start my new position on Monday, November 17th. There are a lot of exciting changes coming, but also new challenges and stresses to work through. I want to jump in and hit the ground running, but I also want to take it slow and absorb and transform at a healthy pace.

I want to do a good job at the work I invest myself in. I want to work toward my strengths and pull my weaknesses into a level of inspection so that they can be slowly bolstered with new experiences and, ideally, transformed into supportive truths that shore up my strengths and allow me points of reflection for my own self-development.

So that is on my mind—the transition. And you know I love change to keep me agile and my mind fresh, but I don't want or need stresses that tax my relationships or create weaknesses in my bonds with those I love. I think about how much I care about the relationship I have with Josh. I want to maneuver through these changes in a way that empowers our relationship and reminds both of us we can create a decompression space (our home) where we can both find rejuvenation and support one another through stressful life changes.

I will be focusing on that big time this coming week. Mercury is going retrograde, so I have been told—and I guess it's brought thoughts on my own personal red flags: how can I get carried away and become unbalanced? How can I inflict unneeded pressure on others because I myself am not managing my own inner world in balance?

This weekend there is revelry and fun in Philly. Josh and I will be heading out tomorrow for a few days of togetherness with our friend community. This can also add pressure on our relationship because it's a long drive, it's a lot of stimulating external input, it's a lot of time away from home right before a big change, and it's a lot on Josh to embrace the changes in my life, including the social circle changes that have taken place over the last few years. So it's something that I want to make sure I get right. I want to protect our peace, but I also want us to both keep growing and to allow our friend circle and social experiences to positively aid our own individual self-development, and of course, I always want there to be more bonding between Josh and I through our interactions with our circle. I want love to be tripled and amped up. I want nervousness, insecurities, and hang-ups to be flushed out.

Onward into adventure. I wish my future self a happy transition process and the strength to stay steady and focused on love, family, friends, and prosperity.
