When making a decision that will change your life, there’s this limbo phase. The time when the adrenaline of making such a big decision has worn off and you’re left with this feeling that flips constantly from nerves to excitement.

In this phase, I’m aware I have a decision I can make. I can decide to put this huge life decision to the back of my mind to not freak out at the craziness of it whilst my comfort zone tries to pull me back in. Or I can overthink the hell out of it to the point of going insane! I guess I’ve sat somewhere in the middle of these two points. But as we get closer and closer to the day my life will change forever, excitement is creeping in more and more.

There are lots of variables in this limbo phase that could put the next phase of my life on hold. Selling a house is certainly a rollercoaster! Thankfully our selling journey has been a breeze so far, but I’m still protecting myself by not getting too excited before we’ve handed over the keys because the number of horror stories you hear about the UK housing market doesn’t exactly give you a ton of joy!

And the biggest realisation I’ve had in limbo land is to have confidence with your decisions and own it. The moment you tell someone about your decision and you have a slight wobble of confidence, the more concern they will have for you and the more you will begin to question your plans. So own it. You’ve decided to do this. Go for it 100%. If I’m ever struggling with this, I think back to when I was 18. I was fearless. I was confident. I approached everything with pure joy and optimism. And I want to make her proud.
