Spending hours in front of a computer has become my way of life these last few months, and will certainly continue for many more, as I learn this thing called 'code.' Surprisingly, especially to me, I'm catching on fairly quickly. I guess you could say, I'm a GEEK now! 🤣
But seriously I have to tell you, it was super uncomfortable going through this 'shifting of careers' process. Almost everything in my life had to be altered in order to make the transition - relocation, shutting down my therapy practice after 22 years, finding a mindless job to cover the bills while I study, which may be the most distressing of all, considering I haven't worked for anyone other than myself since the 80s. Even my body freaked out for awhile with all these changes taking place. But now that I have settled into this new world of web design I must say, I'm absolutely loving it!
Sometimes it's scary to step out of our comfort zone and daily routine. We want our lives to be different, yet quite often we either don't believe we got what it takes, are too afraid to try, or we simply lack the motivation required to make our dreams reality.
One thing's for sure, we always know when it's time to stretch ourselves. Yep, we know deep down inside when our soul is yearning for growth. Not listening to that inner nudging can cause depression. We feel depressed because we are 'pressing down' our soul's desire for expansion.
So as someone who has just forged an ENTIRELY new path for herself, I encourage you to listen to your heart and really go after what you want. It probably won't be easy, but in the end that's exactly the thing that'll make it so dang powerful!
Live your dreams, baby!
