Hi There! Instead of thinking about building a safety net right away, I think it's important to examine within and ask yourself, "what do I need?" Perhaps the need is to shift the mindset and see things from a different perspective. Maybe a bigger change is necessary in order for you to find that inner freedom. This is never about pressuring yourself to make a drastic change tomorrow. Change can be scary and your fear is real. Only you know in your heart whether you are ready to take that first step. There is a lot to unpack here, so I'm going to keep this general since everyone's situation is different. #1, self discovery is the first thing to tackle. This goes back to what I mentioned earlier - ask yourself what do you need and listen inwardly. Define what freedom means to you. #2, work on your mindset and start squashing limiting beliefs. You are worthy and you deserve to have more. When you believe in yourself wholeheartedly, you'll show up with more confidence in everything you do. That positive energy will attract positive things. #3, "begin with an end in mind" - think about where do you want to be 3 years from now and work backwards to figure out what needs to be done to get there. #4, take small steps each day to work toward your goal and keep yourself accountable. #5, talk to people and go through this journey with a supportive network. We tend to get stuck in our heads and talk ourselves out of doing things that feel uncomfortable. No matter what you decide to do, make sure you have people behind you to cheer you on.
