I have started listening 🎧 to the Calm app more often now and there was one particular section when Jeff Warren was talking about letting go, being in the NOW moment and actually living the NOW.

It got me thinking of how I am not allowing the present to come into my life, I am not allowing myself to grow and change because I keep holding on to the past. I am always thinking of what was and I was afraid of the unknown. I wanted to find a new job but I never actually saw myself doing anything else but what I did for none years.

I have been doing the same job and I knew all ins and outs. I knew everything with my eyes closed and there was no effort or joy in it but I was comfortable and this was my plus.

A few weeks ago I was told I will be moving to a different role. I felt terrified as I knew absolutely nothing about it. Moving into an office vs face to face customer service and being on my feet all day long was a winner but I kept getting anxious about it. The fact that my training was next to zero made things even worse but for the first time in my life I thought of letting go and living in the now

Every time I had a negative thought about it, I tried to put it behind me and look ahead. I started my new role being so busy and trying to sort everything out like a pro but also being scared of pressing the send button on every single email.

You know what? I did it and nothing bad happened and I got praise from my boss on my excellent communication and work. I have to admit now that learning is good, new is good, change is not always bad. Scary? Yes! But the fact that I have the opportunity to grow and develop and see a different side of business beats the scary part.

Today I have a big meeting. It’s a handover and I am freaking out because I am supposed to be starting on a big project, on my own 😱 Where do I start? How? I guess I will have to get on with it to my best abilities and try not to fail.

Leave in the now and let go of fear and uncertainty.
