You must have had some call to action or you wouldn't be doing it. Besides, you'll be closer to your family and that's always a good thing. Eat the chocolate, take a deep breath, calm down, go for a run. You'll be fine! Change is scary but it is almost always good. You must have had some call to action or you wouldn’t be doing it.

Eat the chocolate, take a deep breath, calm down, go for a run. You’ll be fine!

Big life changes such as moving and switching jobs always trigger some (or a lot) of anxiety. That's normal. You'll be busy for the next few months getting situated, but I bet you'll be happier as a result. It sounds like you’re doing the right thing.

You did the thinking on this, Jon. You searched your soul, weighed your present life against your potential one, and decided. You're a solid guy who will do well no matter what, 'cause your best is amazing, eh? Now, give me that chocolate.

One represents danger and the other represent opportunity. Inherent in all change is the element of uncertainty,but that is what makes it beautiful, because ANY thing can happen, even good things! Hang in there -- I know I say that a lot and you always do :-D Remember Kennedy’s observation:Written in Chinese, the word crisis, is composed of two characters.

What's to say brother - of course you're going to be a bit anxious about it all until all of the practical aspects require your full attention, e.g. moving boxes, buying houses, etc. You'll settle in and do beautifully mi amigo - that's just what you do.

As much as you may get second thoughts and cold feet, there was obviously enough of a reason for you to consider this move and decide to do it to begin with. The change of scenery for running is a good enough reason by itself, right? ;-) Just remember - there’s a reason you got this far in the decision.

Start planning your move and what you'll do when you get there. Make lists. Cross things off one at a time and feel accomplishment. You need something to preoccupy your wandering mind.

It's all good. Look at me! Everything will work out. (I don't mean to minimize what you are going through. But you will be fine because you will make the best of whatever it is.)
