Moving Beyond Loss

Loss can come in many forms. A life, a lifestyle, freedom of choice, a place, relationships, purpose, and yourself to name a few. All can leave you with a sense of confusion or giving up when you can’t see your way through the unknown. Let’s explore what else is possible with all of this.

Loss leaves a hole in what was your life that you are now left to deal with. So what has to happen here? First, you are finished grieving for whatever your loss is when you are finished- only you know when you are finished. Next, are you living for the living? If you are not willing to find a purpose, a value in your life, you need to take a look at what lights you up? Will it be something you can be to help other people live a more joyful life? Is it an activity that you have always been curious about? Is it moving to a new job, town, state, or even country? What makes your heart quicken with excitement, anticipation, and happiness? Taking care of you is number one here. Be your most joyful version and everything else will follow. How would you like to create your life? What kind of people do you want to surround yourself with? Be that kind of person and they will be drawn to you.
    Live for the future you would like to create- not for the past that no longer exists. We often define who we are or what we can be based on what others have judged or determined you have to be. Stop limiting yourself.  It is time to get intimate with you. What do you trust you will always show up as? How do you honor yourself? Do you have allowance for you to make your own choices to be and do what truly makes you happy? Do you have gratitude for you? All that you have survived, your brilliance, all of the unique and wonderful things about you? Do you allow yourself to be vulnerable with you? What do you truly think, feel, think about, dream about? What do you keep hidden about you that might just be your greatest gift to the world if you would be it? If you can’t be present with all of these things in you, then you cannot be that for anyone else fully.
