The Power of the Space In-Between: Honor Where You Are
“Remember, the space in between isn’t a place of stagnation. It’s where transformation happens. You don’t have to have it all figured out today. Just take the next step forward, and the path will reveal itself.”
Have you ever felt like you’re standing between two worlds? One foot in the life you know, and the other reaching into the unknown, unsure of your next step? If this resonates with you, you’re not alone—I believe there’s power in this very space.
When you desperately want something—whether it’s a breakthrough, clarity, or a fresh start—it can feel like you're frantically searching for the answer, as if you've lost your keys. You may find yourself rushing, striving, forcing things to happen. But in that very urgency, you’re blocking the flow of what’s meant for you. The magic only flows when you release the need to control and allow yourself to be still enough to listen, to be present.
Recently, I was reminded of how important it is for me to reflect, check in and really allow myself to be present with the feelings and thoughts that seem to feel like a pressure cooker ready to burst. I don’t know about you, but this time of year tends to cause me to feel extra unsteady, almost as if I’m a pinball being tossed around.
When we’re straddling two worlds—one foot in the past, one in the future—it’s easy to feel torn. The old world feels safe, even if it’s no longer serving us, while the new world feels uncertain, foggy, and unattainable. But here’s the truth: you don’t need to force the shift. Trust the power of the space in-between—this subtle space where transformation happens quietly, powerfully, and on its own terms.
Below I included some of my favorite ways to support my entire being with compassion & curiosity when I’m in a space of uncertainty and overwhelm. Remember, these are just offers, take what feels true and aligned and gently leave the rest behind.
1. Lean Into the Present Moment
Instead of focusing on what's coming next, pause and ask yourself: "What is here for me right now?" Allow yourself to be grounded in the present moment, even if it feels uncomfortable. The present is where all the power lies.
2. Trust the Process
Let go of the need to have everything figured out. Trust that everything is unfolding as it should. Your job is to show up today and take the next step, no matter how small. It’s not about the destination; it’s about embracing the journey.
3. Practice Patience and Surrender
Surrender doesn’t mean giving up. It means releasing your need for control and trusting in divine timing. The universe, God, or the Divine has its own plan, and it’s unfolding perfectly for you. Surrendering is an act of faith and trust.
4. Cultivate Peace in Uncertainty
The new world might feel cloudy, foggy, and uncertain. Rather than waiting for complete clarity, be at peace with the uncertainty. It's part of the process. Peace comes from trusting that you are being prepared for something greater.
5. Honor Your Growth
Recognize the growth you've already made. Take time each day to express gratitude for where you are right now. Even if you're not exactly where you want to be, celebrate the progress, the lessons, and the steps you’ve taken to get here.
If you're in that space of transition, feeling uncertain but curious about what's ahead, I invite you to take a moment to reflect: What would it look like to step fully into the new world, without fear of falling back? What would it feel like to honor both the old and the new with peace and gratitude?
