How will I be able to get back into my life?
This is the myth of ‘jumping off the train’. The train is our day-to-day life, usually going at high speed just like the lives of everyone around us. The strong, irrational fear here is, “If I jump off this train that moves on so fast, will I be able to jump back on? Or will I stay out there forever, watching the train go by and never actually being able to catch it again?”
Know that this is an illusion. By all means, plan your time off well, make sure you can finance it and make sure you put in place some safety nets to help you return to your life. But know that you can jump back on that train again. If you still doubt this, speak to people who have done it and then managed to get back on the train.
