Many things will happen in your life that are beyond your control. Sometimes we must trust that things will occur in our lives when they are meant to occur. Whether you believe in the universe, or a specific higher power, trusting that your time will come is important for your wellness journey. There is a plan for your life which may not always occur on your timeline. Waiting for your moment provides you with the opportunity to focus on what aspects of your life you can control and change. If your dream is to pursue a specific career path, you can enroll in coursework to make that dream a reality and trust that your time will come.
Trusting the process allows you to live in the moment, which provides you with opportunities to practice mindfulness and gratitude. You learn to appreciate the things you currently have while you wait for your moment to come. You also learn not to compare your journey to others who may be on a different timeline.
When you live in the moment and wait for your time to come, you appreciate your journey and success when it arrives. If you had to save for years to purchase your first car or home, you can look back and appreciate the accomplishment and time spent working on your goal. If you worked for years until you obtained a promotion, you can appreciate the skills learned which prepared you for your new role. If you believe in a higher power, trusting that your time will come can increase your faith and support you during difficult times.
A few ways to help you trust in the process include:
- Stop focusing on how things “should” occur especially when situations are beyond your control.
- Embrace waiting, use the time for personal and professional growth.
- Practice self-love which includes affirmations and self-care.
- Develop healthy habits, which can include sleep hygiene, exercise, and healthy eating.
- Celebrate your wins, focus on other accomplishments no matter how small they may seem.
- Learn from mistakes, challenges, and setbacks.
