Sustaining That “Good Feeling” Amidst Change

As we journey through this week’s theme of “Such a Good Feeling,” we’ve talked about the power of gratitude and the knowing that anchors us. We’ve also explored how to take inspired action and overcome limiting beliefs. Today, I want to shift the focus to how we hold onto that “good feeling” even when life throws us curveballs or transitions.

Change is inevitable. Whether it’s a new opportunity, an unexpected challenge, or a moment of uncertainty, life’s twists and turns can sometimes make it hard to stay connected to those feelings of joy and certainty. But with the right mindset, we can not only face change but embrace it, finding gratitude in its lessons and staying rooted in the knowledge that we are capable of navigating whatever comes our way.

Finding Gratitude During Change

When faced with change, our instinct might be to resist, cling to what feels comfortable, or worry about the unknown. But what if we could shift that perspective? What if we approached change with curiosity and saw it as an opportunity to learn and grow?

Gratitude becomes a powerful anchor in these moments. It’s not always about feeling thankful for the change itself but for the strengths it helps us uncover, the new paths it leads us to, and the ways it makes us more resilient. This perspective doesn’t mean bypassing real emotions; it means holding space for them while also acknowledging what is good, steady, and true.

Staying Anchored Amidst Change

Here are a few strategies to sustain that “good feeling” and sense of knowing during times of change:

1. Pause and Reflect: When change arises, take a moment to pause and reflect on what you know to be true. This might mean acknowledging the strengths you’ve developed over time, your support network, or past experiences where you navigated change successfully. Write these down as affirmations to remind yourself of your resilience.
2. Shift Perspective: Challenge yourself to see change through a lens of curiosity. Instead of asking, “Why is this happening?” try, “What can I learn from this?” or “How might this be guiding me toward growth?” This simple shift can bring gratitude into even the most uncertain times.
3. Create a Grounding Practice: Establish rituals or habits that bring you back to your “good feeling” state. This could be a morning gratitude journal, mindful breathing, or taking a walk in nature. These practices serve as gentle reminders that, even when things are changing, your sense of inner knowing can remain constant.

Journaling Prompt: What is one change I’m currently experiencing, and how can I find gratitude in its lessons?

Embracing Change as Part of the Journey

Remember, life’s path is rarely a straight line. It’s filled with twists, unexpected turns, and moments of pause. Each change, whether welcomed or not, is part of your story—an opportunity to grow, deepen your understanding, and reaffirm your trust in the journey. By holding onto gratitude and your sense of knowing, you can stay connected to that “good feeling” and use it as a source of strength and stability.

The more we practice finding gratitude amidst change, the more resilient we become. We learn that while we can’t always control what happens, we can control how we respond, grow, and move forward with intention.

This week, take a moment to journal about the changes in your life, both big and small.

Reflect on how you can embrace them with gratitude, knowing that each step is leading you toward your next “one more dream.”

Stay grounded, stay grateful, and keep that “good feeling” close, no matter where your path leads.
