Ernie O Dacumos Hey gorgeous,
Yes, the title of our blog today is “From Completion to Creation: Reconditioning Myself for What’s Next”
I don’t know about you, but these past three months have been a whirlwind of decisions, endings, and fresh starts for me.
And if there’s one thing I’ve learned — it’s that big decisions take big courage.
And yes… it’s okay to be scared.
I used to think fear meant I was doing something wrong. Like maybe I missed a sign somewhere or maybe I wasn’t ready.
But the truth is… fear often shows up right when you’re about to grow into the next level of yourself.
And right now? I’m stepping into a brand new chapter of my life.
Is it uncertain? Absolutely.
Am I terrified sometimes? 1000%.
But here’s the surprising thing…
There’s a quiet peace in me, too.
It’s like deep down, even with all the unknowns, I know it’s going to work out. Maybe not perfectly. Maybe not the way I thought. But it’s going to unfold in the way it’s meant to.
Now — let’s be honest here — do I wake up every day overflowing with positive energy?
No, gorgeous, I would be lying if I said that.
Some days, I wrestle with doubt. Some days, I wonder if I made the right moves.
But I also know this: it’s not about pretending fear doesn’t exist — it’s about choosing how I respond to it.
And that’s what I want to share with you today —
How I’m handling this new chapter in my life… and maybe, just maybe, it can help you if you’re approaching one too.
Because let’s be real — we all face new chapters.
We all have moments when the path ahead feels blurry and uncertain.
And you know what? It’s okay to feel scared.
What’s not okay is letting fear keep us stuck.
We are not meant to shrink. We are meant to expand, grow, and become.
Here’s what’s been helping me recondition myself for what’s next:
1. Flip the Script
Instead of focusing on what could go wrong…
I intentionally ask myself,
“But what if it goes right?”
When my mind tries to spiral into worst-case scenarios, I breathe and remind myself:
Possibility lives right next door to fear.
Every time you think of what could break, think about what could be built instead.
2. See Fear as Progress
I’ve started seeing fear as a green light instead of a red one.
If something feels scary but exciting? That’s usually my soul telling me,
“Gorgeous, you’re growing. Keep going.”
Comfort zones are cozy… but nothing extraordinary ever happens there.
Now, I see fear and think,
“Oh, this must be important. This must be next.”
3. Get Crystal Clear on What You Want
I had to get brutally honest with myself:
What do I actually want to see happen in the next few months?
Vague dreams create vague results.
So I wrote it down. I spoke it out loud. I painted a clear picture.
Because if you can’t define it… how will you ever know if you’re walking toward it?
4. Create Accountability You Actually Like
It’s easy to set goals and then let life distract you.
So I asked myself,
“How can I make it easier to stay on track?”
For me, that looks like:
- Having a few trusted people check in with me.
- Setting small deadlines I actually celebrate.
- Making reminders for myself that feel like encouragement, not punishment.
Accountability isn’t about beating yourself up.
It’s about building structures that support the version of you you’re becoming.
Gorgeous, if you are entering a new chapter too… I want you to hear me clearly:
You are not behind.
You’re not late.
You’re exactly where you need to be to grow into your next season.
Fear doesn’t mean stop.
It means you’re on the edge of something bigger than you’ve known before.
And you, my love, deserve to step into it fully.
Remember, as my mentor Dr. John C. Maxwell said. Growth doesn’t happen by accident.
It happens because we are willing to recondition our minds, our habits, and our hearts…
even when it’s scary, even when it’s uncertain, even when no one else sees the dream but you.
This is your season to complete what needed to end —
and create what your soul has been waiting for.
You’re ready.
You’re doing it.
And I’m so proud of you.
With you every step of the way,
-Ernelita
