Why you should just let the feelings flow...

This week's have been quite simple. I spoke about how difficult change can be in a previous post. & I still believe it is.

I certainly cried a few tears leaving again. However, I have really just cracked on with life like normal. I haven't seen travelling again as a huge change. Within 12 hours, I already feel quite settled in Chile again.

It is a funny one, because part of me loves the highs and lows of emotion.

When I was crying my eyes out this week saying goodbye to everyone, I really stopped to think how lucky I was to love so much and have such amazing people around me. It puts a very different light on feeling sad.

I also didn't think too much about moving to Chile for the winter. & sometimes, that's a bit sad - it is an incredible feeling to get excited about something. However, by also not thinking about it too much - we don't worry ourselves too much.

My simple lesson here - we feel the things that we choose to pay attention too.

We can always reason with ourselves ie. 'well I need to worry about X thing or it might all go wrong'. However, we should always challenge ourselves. We should ask whether what we're feeling is productive, or conducive to something useful.

If the answer is no. If it isn't supporting anything... Then see if you can practise paying less attention to it.

Just crack on and do the thing that scares you anyway.

I'm not saying this applies to all scenarios. Sometimes we should just be sad. We need to be. Sometimes, everything is so sh*t that we can't help it.

However, with the big scary work things, or relationships, or personal choices - try paying a little less attention to it and just make it happen. It could turn out amazing!
