You’re Empty Nesting ALL Wrong

You’re empty nesting ALL wrong.

Here’s why:

You’re waiting for your kids to call.

You’re hoping your relationship with your partner will improve.

You’re waiting for something to change.

You’re hoping for the life you had when the kids were little.

You’re waiting to become a grandparent.

Waiting and hoping is not how you live an empty nest life you love.

Waiting and hoping is a recipe for disaster, sadness, and feeling stuck.

You’re waiting and hoping because it feels safer to wait and hope on others or crossing your fingers that things will miraculously change.

Even though life flat out sucks right now it actually feels safer than:

Taking a risk.

Getting out of your comfort zone.

Meeting new people.

Trying something new.

Leaving your home.

Getting out of your own way.

It’s not your fault. Not one bit because your brain’s main job is to KEEP YOU SAFE.

Comfortable is safe.

Being uncomfortable or taking a risk is scary and your brain knows this so it says keep doing the safe thing.

Learning to interrupt your brain’s safety mechanism is the key to stop living an empty nest life that feels unfulling.

Here’s how to interrupt that safety mechanism:

Start believing that your current life can be different.

You have to believe it before you can see it.

Open yourself to taking a risk.

Get uncomfortable with doing something that feels scary.

This is how you start to get out of your own way.

And you will have to fail, over and over again, at all the new things until they start to feel comfortable.

Don’t quit. Keep trying. Keep doing.

Changing your life isn’t hard. You just think it is because you are unwilling to try something, anything new.

Stop doing empty nesting all wrong.

Try ONE scary thing today.

Repeat it again tomorrow. And the next day, and the day after day.

Stop waiting for life to change and start living life and it will change.
