The Future is Now (or, at least, the Fear about the Future is Now)
March 15, 2010
Y’know how Havi has this weekly tradition of sharing Very Personal Ads? Yeah, it’s kind of neat. I’m sort of blog-cheating by posting here what I wrote over there.
My VPA this week:
I have big stuff coming up. Moving to a new town; moving in with my significant other for the first time; finding (hopefully!) a new job. I would like to be calm about the scary parts of the transition, and excited about the happy parts. I would like to feel confidence about it all!
How this could work
- I could trust my own planning while recognizing that some things you can’t plan for!
- I could receive support and encouragement from my significant other and my friends.
- I could have insights or ideas about ways to make the physical transition easier.
- Same with the mental/emotional transition!
My commitment:
- To keep taking small steps of preparation.
- To remember to trust the love that my main squeeze and I share.
- To breathe through the scary stuff, and ask the movies called “Your Future Is Going to be Terrible,” (parts 1 through 50) to stop playing inside my head. They can go hang out in the DVR in my head, and I’ll promise to watch them next year sometime.
- To make time for shivanata and writing in my journal (even though I feel very busy!)
