“Getting the Best Results Requires Effort”

Surrendering to the change that is happening, you are allowing yourself to shed whatever is burdensome & no longer in alignment with the life you want to live. Just like an ash tree in Autumn, you are very good at dropping away anything that’s not useful, working or needed in preparation for the next cycle of  your life.  However, you may have difficulty relaxing through the great shift happening, reacting out of fear or irritability. You could face moments of trouble trusting that life knows where this is going. Remember that it’s all happening the way it needs to in order is usher in a new way. Additionally, you may be eager for this new start to hurry up & begin, but there’s some messy work that has to be done first. You may be annoyed at having to wait or put the work in. Instead, you’d like to jump ahead to the pretty end enjoying the results without doing the stuff in between. The Floor Scrapers remind us of the hard work involved before one is able to restore, refinish and enjoy the fruits of our labor -the importance of doing the job right. This requires elbow grease to get down to bare wood, preparing the surface & sanding out imperfections. You know it has to happen so there’s no point in wasting your energy stressing & grumbling about it. It’s part of the process and makes for more pleasing results. To help with your impatience, focus on the new energies coming in, bringing growth & new opportunity rather than getting caught in the frustration of the process in between. While working through the process, be sure to take breathers, schedule some time-outs & take your time. Search for someone to talk with to help relieve annoyances that arise.
