The Quiet Before the Becoming

There’s a moment in every season of growth when everything feels still.
Not stuck. Just still.

It’s the quiet before the becoming.
The pause before the next step reveals itself.

We rush to fill that quiet with plans, lists, noise. But clarity doesn’t live in the rush. It lives in the space between what’s ending and what’s next.

This month, I’ve been thinking about preparation, not as planning, but as positioning.
Positioning your heart. Your energy. Your priorities.
So that when opportunity comes, you’re ready, not reactive.

Here’s the truth:
Preparation without boundaries becomes burnout.
Boundaries without clarity become isolation.
Clarity without stillness never sticks.

They work together.
Stillness. Clarity. Boundaries.
The holy trinity of sustainable growth.

So if you’re feeling the urge to plan, first, pause.
Ask:

• What season am I actually in?

• What’s asking to be released before I add anything new?

• Where do I need to draw a clearer line so I can move freely later?

Preparation isn’t about control.
It’s about trust.
Trusting that when you create space, life fills it with what’s meant for you.

Take this month to ready your soil.
Next month, we’ll plant.

With light and heart,
Coach Niks
