I recently found out that I was going to need to move out my apartment. Nothing wrong with anything, just the landlord getting older and wanting to do some different things. To be honest, I am a little excited for it. Logically we probably needed to move for a while now, but our current situation was too comfortable.

That being said, I still sit here now with a certain level of anxiety about the move. We already signed a lease on a lovely new place that will suit our family better. Yet the emotions remain.

Why is this?

We have something good in front of us, but we have feelings that don’t want anything to change.

There is a battle in us between homeostasis and self-actualization, flesh and spirit. Our bodies are hard wired to avoid movement. They want us to conserve energy and stay where it is safe. But this is death to our souls. A simple move down the street is making me face this.

What is giving you a negative feeling in the pit of your stomach? Is that feeling of fear really a cautionary response to a scary thing or is it just our emotions getting the best of us?
