This Is One Moment In Time

We are living in uncertain times. Technology and the tools we use every day are changing at a pace that can make our heads spin. The COVID-19 pandemic has changed our daily routines. Our jobs are changing, too, with a record number of people now working from home instead of going into the office.

Embracing the unknowns in our lives can be scary, especially when our minds are wired to see the negatives first. But we can change this through conscious thoughts and choices. So, don’t let your mind trick you into thinking this is how things will be forever. This is one moment in time, a moment we can and should embrace, but it’s only one moment out of a lifetime of moments.

The future can be whatever you want it to be.

That is, if you believe. You can choose doom and gloom or you can choose to think positively. You can believe in yourself and the future you desire or you can believe that you are a victim of whatever comes your way.

These different mindsets deliver radically different results.

Belief and positivity are choices you make. With practice, they eventually become automatic responses. When you choose positive expectations over negative ones and when you choose to believe that what you want is possible, your subconscious mind will work on making your dreams and goals a reality.

In the below excerpt from my contemporary romance, RESTART IN BRISTOL, Holly and Skye talk about embracing uncertainty and letting go of fear.

Excerpt from Restart in Bristol:

Holly’s voice was non-committal so Skye made a new appeal. “I recently read an article on embracing uncertainty. It said clinging to the safe and steady is stifling, and all it brings is more of the same ‘ole, same ‘ole. When one welcomes uncertainty, new potential arises.”

Holly pressed her lips together. “I like solid and steady.”

Skye puffed out a breath and called on her patience. “Grayson was solid and steady.” At the stoplight on Lakeshore Drive, she caught Holly’s gaze. “Is he what you want?”

Holly shook her head vehemently. “I get it. You’re right.”

Skye smiled. “What would you do if you let go of fear and trusted yourself to deal with things as they arise?”

Holly’s eyes moved to a faraway place and her lips lifted.

Skye put a hand over her cousin’s. “Don’t answer, but tonight you should do whatever you were just thinking about.” She pulled into Steph and Cruz’s drive. “No fear,” she said squeezing Holly’s hand.
