The Messy Middle: What No One Tells You About Starting Over

Here is a Quick snack for thought about resetting your life: 



We often glorify beginnings—the courage to start over, the fresh start, the "new me" energy. And we celebrate happy endings.
But what about the messy middle? That uncertain, awkward, soul-stretching phase between letting go and truly arriving?

That’s where most of us get lost.
That’s where I was—and maybe, where you are too.


The Space Between




No one tells you that after a big decision—ending a relationship, leaving a job, moving countries—there’s a strange emotional no-man’s-land.
You're not who you were, but you’re not yet who you're becoming.

People might cheer you on, but inside, it’s quiet. Uncertain. Even scary.

I used to think starting over meant immediate change. But really, it meant learning how to sit in silence and let the confusion breathe.


Things That Helped Me in the Messy Middle


1. Tiny routines
Taking care of my personal Hygiene at the right time. Decluttering a little. Morning walks. Tea or Coffee in silence. These small acts gave my days shape when my life didn’t have one.

2. Creative outlets
Drawing, writing, making little crafts—my soul needed to express, not impress.

3. Permission to feel everything
Sadness, anger, hope, boredom. All welcome. All real.

4. Imagining my future self
I’d ask: What would future me be proud of today?


You’re Not Alone



If you’re in the middle—unsure, questioning, doubting—know this: it’s part of the process.
You’re not behind. You’re not broken. You’re just in between.

The middle is messy because transformation is. And just like a painting, it often looks chaotic before it makes sense.


To the One in Transition

You don’t have to rush through this.
You don’t have to have it all figured out.

Breathe.
Keep showing up for yourself.
Something beautiful is unfolding—even if you can't see it yet.


Now REFLECT and set an adventure for yourself!
