Embracing Change and Finding Affirmation

by Ali Novitsky, MD

The picture I am including with this post today is the one that I shared on my social media this week, and I really wanted to share it with you all here.

I wrote,

“You know when you feel some big shifts happening AND you are about to make some decisions AND you don’t know if you are doing the right thing?

Then… you review your photos from the day and realize that your face, your energy, your soul is saying- yes, you are doing the right thing.

That scenario is what this picture represents to me. Thank you to my incredible husband, Mark, for catching this moment of truth for me.”

And, here is the thing. I bet you all are coming up on some big decisions, too. I trust that you know the answer. I trust that you know what is best for you. And, I urge you to make the decision that serves YOU best.

You may not realize how much energy and effort you put out into the world. It is a ton! I want to offer that you deserve so much love for how much you care. Where will you find this love, you may ask? Create some space for the massive self-love and self-compassion that you deserve. 

Remember, when we are feeling extra stressed and overwhelmed, it is actually an emotional need of ours that is not being met. When we meet our own needs, we can continue to make good decisions for us because it becomes non-negotiable not to.

So for today’s reflection. What is it that you need? And, how can you meet that need for yourself? When you can meet this for yourself, you will be better connected with yourself, and better able to connect with others. 

Wishing you a beautiful week ahead…
