Let this be a moment in your life where you create space to focus on what matters most. As if you were moving through a vast landscape with a magnifying glass with you, allow yourself time to explore and adapt, and look closer where you need to. And when you find yourself overwhelmed by distractions or unexpected change, remember that your focus can grow at its own pace. You have not wasted time when your focus has changed. As long as you’re still breathing, there is room to find new ways through this landscape.
In the areas of life where you are faced with something new that requires a lot of courage, this might look like giving yourself time to zoom in, assess, and acclimate. Perhaps, where you once thought you only had to focus on being endlessly strong or unyielding, you can give yourself permission to say “A larger picture is still forming here.” In the same way you would imagine a scene unfolding, you are free to move through this space allowing details to emerge and evolve naturally. Acting on courage here doesn’t mean you have to pressure yourself to figure it all out at once. Continue to breathe deep in this space as much as you can, knowing you will learn as you go. Zoom in where you need to zoom in, and let go where you need to let go. Shift your focus where you need to. – Morgan Harper Nichols
