Standing on the Threshold 🚪

I’ve been having a tough month. I’ve had some hard decisions about my fur baby and his seizures and I had some car issues that turned downright awful as I waited for my insurance company for over a month to .. well, do what they are supposed to do and what I pay them for 😵‍💫 I have had issues come up with my mother. A conflict with a dear friend. I’ve been asking Source… hey, what’s going on? I’ve got all I can handle here. I’m saying that in a Jersey accent for some reason…

I suppose… life is lifing and the powers beyond my comprehension need to teach me something. Or, maybe I’m on a threshold of something big. Something beautiful! 😍 And powerful. A Becoming Anew.

When you’re on a threshold:

You know that feeling…? When you’re at a crossroads? On the cusp of … something!?

Perhaps you’re on the threshold of something new… a relationship, a healing journey, a new job… or a cocktail of all of them. When you feel both excitement and fear simultaneously. There’s a sense of aliveness, a flutter of possibility, along with the vulnerability and uncertainty that comes with stepping outside your comfort zone.

These thresholds come with unmistakable signals in the body and mind. Physically, you might notice butterflies in your stomach, a quickened heartbeat, or a charge of energy running through you. Emotionally, you may feel equal parts anticipation and apprehension. This is your system’s way of letting you know you’re at the edge of what you’ve known… ready to cross into new territory.

Another hallmark is a sudden surge of self-doubt or even old patterns resurfacing, as if your “upper limit problem” is trying to pull you back into safe, familiar ground. When you notice old fears whispering that you’re not ready or worthy, that’s a reliable sign you’re standing at a threshold.

I encourage you to honor these sensations. Welcome them as messages from your deeper self.

Instead of retreating, take a conscious breath, acknowledge the threshold, and step forward with curiosity and compassion for yourself. Often, simply naming “I’m at a threshold” dissolves some of the fear and makes more space for excitement and growth to lead.

Remember, every breakthrough is preceded by a threshold. The discomfort is not a sign to turn back… it’s evidence that you’re right where you need to be for transformation.

Holding onto your threshold for dear life? Often.. we are too scared of the unknown and consider numbing.. addictive behaviors, or avoiding feeling our feelings in order to stall the threshold moments or simply avoid them.

What are you holding back or stalling on?

Striving and thriving,
