Sit down with a journal, pocket book or pad and listing all of the issues you might be nervous about. And I imply ALL of them. Those related to the friends coming to remain, and all of the others that sit within the sidelines of your ideas. Issues at work, house, household, cash. Something that takes up treasured area in your head. Have a great outdated purge. Write them down as phrases, sentences, no matter you want. There isn’t a proper or unsuitable method to do that. Merely put pen to paper and get the little buggers out!
I’ve accomplished this so many occasions previously. And once in a while it has shocked me as to how a lot has been enjoying on my thoughts. The easy act of writing down your fears and worries provides them rather less energy in your head.
Getting them out, shifts your vibration.
While you’ve accomplished your listing. Sit with it. Learn it. Be current with it.
How does it really feel to see so many? How did it really feel to jot down all of them down?
After getting your listing decide the highest 3. Those that fear you essentially the most. Those that hold you up at night time, that occupy an excessive amount of of your mind energy.
You might be able to discover methods to take away them, cease them from taking place. Or you’ll have no energy over them in any respect. However discovering them and feeling into them is step one to going through your fears and coping with your friends coming to remain.

So that you’ve bought out a number of the noise out of your head, you’ve seen it written in entrance of you in black and white and maybe you have got been capable of take care of a few of it. When you haven’t, don’t fear. Merely being conscious this is happening in you is a begin.
After which we will take into consideration easy methods to assist our cats. Right here’s my go to listing of actionable steps that I take when somebody comes to remain in our house:
I do that each out loud verbally and quietly by means of our soul-to-soul connection. I inform them who’s coming and for the way lengthy. I inform them what I count on of them and the way I’ll help them. I inform them what I would like from them (i.e. to come back house sooner or later within the night) and I inform them how I really feel about having the particular person coming to remain.
When folks come into your own home be it for five minutes or 5 days, your own home adjustments. The power, vibration, scent and bodily surroundings. This impacts your cats territory within the house. Maybe you have got doorways closed, further baggage across the house and even different cats coming to remain.
