“What you’re calling confusion is often just a sacred pause between who you were and who you’re becoming.”
Let me explain:
We often label ourselves as “lost” when the truth is we’re simply in transition.
This space in-between where your old identity no longer fits but your new self hasn’t fully formed isn’t failure or confusion. It’s transformation.
It’s the cocoon between the caterpillar and the butterfly.
It’s uncomfortable, messy, and quiet because real growth happens in the stillness.
Let’s Deep Dive:
What Happens in the “In-Between”?
The Death of the Old Self
You’ve outgrown roles, beliefs, or routines that once defined you.
But letting go of what used to work can feel like losing part of yourself.
The Formation of the New Self
You’re gathering new insights, values, and possibilities but they haven’t crystallized yet.
This space feels shaky, but it’s where alignment begins.
The Sacred Pause
This is not a void. It’s a recalibration.
The world might call it confusion but for you, it’s incubation. Your becoming is in motion.
Bringing It Home:
If you feel lost, try asking:
- What part of me no longer feels true?
- What do I feel drawn toward even if I can’t explain why yet?
- What would happen if I stopped trying to “figure it out” and just allowed the in-between?
Your Turn:
Take a moment and journal this:
“I am not lost I’m shedding the old and making space for the new. My becoming is not chaos. It is sacred.”
Embrace the pause. You’re not broken. You’re becoming.
Learning never stops.
Take a moment to reflect and act on what resonates with you.
Keep evolving.
