Today, we’re diving into a topic that every single one of us experiences on the journey of transformation—that space between where you are and where you want to be.
You know the phase I’m talking about. You’ve set your vision, you’re doing the work—visualizing, journaling, taking aligned action—but your external world hasn’t caught up with your internal knowing yet.
It’s in this space where doubt creeps in. It’s where you wonder if your dream is even meant for you. If you’re feeling this right now, let me tell you—you’re not off track. You’re in what I call the “still space” of transformation. And trust me, there’s actually nothing “still” about it.
What Is the Still Space?
The still space is that sacred pause in your transformation journey where it might seem like nothing is happening. Maybe you’re still in the same job, the same relationship status, or staring at the same number in your bank account. On the surface, nothing looks different.
But beneath the surface? Everything is changing.
Think about what happens when you plant a seed. All you see is dirt for a while, right? It looks like nothing is happening. But under that soil, the seed is splitting open, sending down roots, and gathering nutrients to create a strong foundation.
The same thing happens in a chrysalis. Most people think a caterpillar simply grows wings and emerges as a butterfly. But the process is way more intense than that. The caterpillar completely dissolves into a cellular soup and reconstructs itself into something entirely new.
From the outside, the chrysalis looks still and unchanging. But inside? It’s a total transformation.
This is exactly what’s happening to you in your still space. You’re not stagnant—you’re actively becoming.
Why the Still Space Is Non-Negotiable
Every major transformation in your life has required this still space. It’s not just necessary—it’s non-negotiable.
Like a seed needs time to build its root system before it can grow above ground, you need time to build the foundation for your next level. During this phase, you’re shedding old beliefs, dismantling outdated patterns, and creating the conditions for your future self to thrive.
Every time you choose your vision over your old habits, every time you take aligned action without visible results, you’re participating in your transformation.
How to Work With the Still Space (Instead of Fighting It)
So, how can you embrace this phase instead of resisting it? Because let’s be real—we don’t want to be that person who’s constantly digging up their seeds to check if they’re growing.
Here are three powerful practices to help you move through the still space with confidence:
1. Guard Your Energy
Think of your energy as the soil where your dreams are planted. A seed can’t grow in toxic soil, so be intentional about what and who you allow into your space. Protect your energy like it’s your job—because it is.
2. Trust Divine Timing
Nature doesn’t rush, and neither should you. What feels like waiting is actually preparation. When doubt spirals hit (and they will), remind yourself: the universe is aligning things behind the scenes. You’re building the strength and capacity to not just reach your vision but to sustain it.
3. Focus on What Feeds Your Faith
Just like a gardener creates the right conditions for growth, ask yourself:
- What nourishes my belief?
- What strengthens my vision?
Make those practices non-negotiable in your daily routine. Whether it’s meditation, journaling, or surrounding yourself with expanders who inspire you, feed your faith consistently.
Signs You’re on the Verge of a Breakthrough
Very often, our desires are right on the edge of breaking through when we’re in the still space. Here are some signs to watch for:
- Subtle shifts in your behavior: You start responding differently to old triggers, or you notice new opportunities and conversations coming your way. These aren’t coincidences—they’re confirmations of your internal work.
- A sense of alignment: That gap between where you were and your full potential begins to close. Actions that once felt hard now feel natural—not because the actions changed, but because you did.
- A deep inner knowing: You feel a calm confidence that’s different from wishful thinking. It’s like mastering a skill—you no longer overthink every step. Your new way of being feels as natural as breathing.
When this transformation phase is complete, you’re not trying to be someone new—you simply are.
The Truth About Your Potential
Here’s something wild to think about: a seed already has all the genetic coding it needs to become a tree. A caterpillar carries all the information it needs to become a butterfly.
And you? If you can feel a desire in your heart, if you can see it in your mind, you already have everything you need to create it. That desire isn’t random—it’s evidence of the potential that’s already within you.
Friend, if you’re in the still space right now, trust the process. Trust the wisdom of your own unfolding. The gap between where you are and where you want to be isn’t empty—it’s creation space.
This sacred pause is where your power lies. It’s where you’re dismantling the old, building the new, and becoming the version of yourself who can step into your vision.
Remember, your dreams are meant for you. If you can see it, you can create it.
Until next time, keep manifesting an epic life.
