"It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad."
- C. S. Lewis
It's been said a million times—Change is inevitable. Some people can roll with change as if it's nothing, while others find it so unnerving that they strive to stay exactly where they are for as long as possible. Which doesn't feel like living at all.
For those of you who struggle, since we cannot outrun change, we might as well shift our thinking around it, and then lean into a few crystals whose very essence is to support change.
First, for the shift. While change can feel extremely overwhelming and unnerving, it's one of the bravest things we can do as humans. When we look change in the face and say, "Yes!" we open ourselves up to possibilities that we haven't yet imagined. It's a way for us to expand—expand our minds, our bodies, our spirits, everything.
I have a really good friend who deals with change by literally yelling out, "Plot Twist!," when something changes. The humor she is able to maintain around change is nothing short of beautiful.
Imagine the next time change comes around instead of recoiling you reach out with open arms and say, "Show me what you got!" Or "I trust that the Universe has my back, and I can't wait to see what's coming next!"
When we shift our thinking from "ordeal" to "adventure" we ask the Universe to open up the opportunities to things that will serve us better. The energetics of this kind of thinking will always be matched with positive feedback... even if it doesn't seem like it at first.
