Eclipsing Yourself

There comes a time when you will eclipse yourself. You will outgrow yourself.

You can resist it, ignore it or try to bargain with it.

But you can’t stop it.

Trusting that you will be ok as you shed the old is a big ask.

You may be vulnerable as you shed. That’s ok, it’s just temporary and you can figure out how to protect yourself.

Bigger picture - you’re letting the old go because it’s too limiting and doesn’t fit you anymore.

An even more wise, powerful and beautiful you is waiting to emerge.

Eclipses used to be feared; it was thought that the world was ending.

It’s understandable if you also think that about yourself when you’ve outgrown your self.

When you’re being asked to let go again and again and again.

When you’re being told to trust the untethering.

Remember that light always returns in an eclipse.
