Becoming New: Trusting the Quiet Season Before the Breakthrough

There are moments in life when we don’t feel stuck—but we don’t feel fully “there” yet either. We’re in between. We’ve outgrown the old version of ourselves, and though the new one hasn’t fully arrived, we can feel it forming. This space, this in-between—is sacred. It’s the cocoon before the butterfly. The calm before clarity. The exhale before the breakthrough. 🌱 Embracing the Quiet…

Whatever you do, keep on moving. Lack of action will have you going down into mental spirals that will cause confusion, anxiety, and depression. Regardless of how things may appear like in the moment or what fears may be clouding your mind, you have to keep moving. Be mindful of the present, and focus on the things you can change today, not on what could happen tomorrow. Do not become paralyzed, because more often than not, things tend to end up being much better in the end than we previously thought possible.

“it'll all be worth it in the end,"

[thesophistiicate]

the secret to living a calm and confident life lies in being organised and prepared. when you are always scrambling, searching, stumbling, you create an energy of chaos. part of respecting yourself is adequately preparing yourself for what lies ahead, through organisation and practise.

how to level up during the winter arc

winter arc ; oct to jan

1. build a strong routine - examples: wake up immediately and journal, don't scroll in the morning, meditate, drink 1 glass of water

2. create realistic goals - be more practical. when we set big goals and they don't happen we brush them off and say 'i'll just do it next week' hence delaying action

3. visualize - visualize how the highest person of yourself looks like

4. be consistent - wake up at the same time, be consistent, and don't scroll when you wake up, just take action everyday ! things don't just happen overnight

5. habit stacking - habit stacking follows a simple formula of "when i do [current habit], i will do [new habit]." for example: "when i drink my coffee in the morning, i will listen to an educational podcast."

6. use habit trackers/to-do lists

7. don't give up when your day isn't perfect - be flexible and understand that not everything has to be checked off, life happens

8. don't go through hardcore restrictions - since it's festival season, there are chances that you might not be able tick off some habits but that's okay !

9. listen to your body - do what you feel is best for you, don't beat yourself up if you aren't able to do something

let go of the feelings you've had in the past year, "i wish i did this" blah blah. don't beat yourself over it. just move forward. why keep waiting for tomorrow when you can start today? show up for yourself. why do i want to achieve this goal? it has to be for you.

just. start. now.

We don’t talk enough about the importance of having a personality that is so rooted in yourself that the exterior world is unable to change you. It’s so easy to allow ourselves to get influenced and carried away by what everyone else is doing that we forget to take a step back and think if how we’re acting is actually in alignment with our core self. Going back to basics and being yourself to the fullest without feeling the pressure to conform and be just like everyone else is one of the most freeing experiences one can have.
