As much as we all love new beginnings in the movies, the reality is that they are usually a pain in the ass. There is no right time for your square one event but change is coming yet again and so is the resistance. My teacher Martha Beck, loves the life cycle metaphor of the butterfly to describe each stage of the life cycle. Square one is the caterpillar. Square two is the cocoon, Square three emergence from the cocoon and square 4 is the butterfly in all of her glory. Yes, all butterflies are female, just kidding. Back to the caterpillar, or square one, the caterpillar. Caterpillar’s  are the earth bound incarnation of the butterfly’s life cycle. It’s basically crawling and square one is back to crawling and slowing down until we learn how to embody the change. Think of the new business that you’ve been building. It’s such a celebration when you first launch but now you have months and perhaps years of learning the ropes of your new business and it feels like you are crawling where before you use to fly. Don’t worry you will get back on track but it will take time.
