explain. Of course, instead of writing, I read emails. In God’ s perfect timing, Dr. Christiane Northrup’ s email newsletter came through with these words of wisdom:
To birth something new, whether that’ s a baby, a book, a seminar or talk, a new relationship, or a new career, you have to have courage and faith. You also have to be ready to embrace change. Change is tough for many. As humans, we really want things to stay the same. We’ re creatures of habit— and so am I— even for small things. You may not be aware of this, but it’ s possible to give birth in an orgasmic way. Believe it or not, the energy that gets the baby in gets the baby out. And that’ s true biologically, but it’ s also true in your personal life.
To tap into this incredible and powerful energy, you’ ll want to learn to‘ surf with’ change. When you feel resistance to change, be present with it. Grieve for what’ s no longer going to be there. That’ s the only way to usher all the good stuff in. You have to feel it and move forward to give birth to the new thing. Remember that when the good stuff comes in, it brings in joy. And joy can flush out the loneliness, the fear, and the other‘ stuff’ that is no longer serving you. I have stood by while hundreds of women gave birth to beautiful, normal babies. Just before the time to start pushing came, nearly every woman would say,‘ I can’ t do this! I can’ t do this! I don’ t know how to do this!’ And, suddenly, there was a beautiful baby. While she didn’ t know how to do it with her intellect, her body, and nature knew just what to do. You know how to do it, too. And your intellect may be the last thing to catch on. Have faith. Have courage. Keep breathing. And simply know that you’ re programmed for new beginnings.
Dr. Northrup’ s statement,“ I can’ t do this! I can’ t do this! I don’ t know how to do this!” replayed over and over in my head. That’ s when I combined my own advice with Dr. Northrup’ s encouragement, got still, and began to recognize and notice what was happening for me. I stopped verbally abusing myself for feeling the way I did. I honored what was happening, and allowed it to just be. Then, I had to make a decision. Was I going to hide the rest of my life and deny the world my gifts OR was I going to finish this book and live out my soul’ s calling?
Obviously, I chose the latter!
