You Haven’t Lost Your Place

Sometimes when life shifts and changes, it can feel like we’ve lost our place.

During those times when our lives are changing, we may feel out of tune, out of rhythm, out of balance. Out of step. Maybe an old feeling is surfacing, clearing, so that we can learn something new and move forward to a new place. Maybe our attention is being diverted to a new focus so we can find and experience another lesson. Sometimes the form or shape of our life is changing dramatically. The old picture is being erased so a new one can be drawn. Familiar people are leaving; new people are entering. We may ache, feel irritable, and doubt the course of our entire journey. We may doubt whether the magical way we were living was even real and whether the magic will ever return.

Let the changes happen. Take extra loving care of yourself. Be attentive to what you need. The magic isn’t gone; it hasn’t disappeared. You’re just going through a shift. That means things are moving, and movement is good.

For now it may feel like you can’t find your place, but that’s because your place is changing.

We have to take risks and walk into the unknown. I wanted to belong all my life and never seemed to fit in. When I came into recovery, I found people who had been where I had been and had find away to live and not go back there.

Just for today, I know my place. The rooms of recovery, my home away from home.

Had a sponsor who told me to have a mat or some kind of carpeting under my feet when I am on my computer to keep me grounded. Wasn't sure why, was just learning about energies and how I tended to take on what was not mine, especially when it was negative. A friend gave me a book called Energy Vampires. It was about people who sucked you into their world and brought you don't with them if you allowed it.

Wanted to stay in the now and not go back to yesterday to stay or live with fear about my tomorrows.
