Now that the butterfly is fully formed and solidified in its new body, it breaks out of its cocoon, unfolds its wings and returns to the world. When our new habits and self have stabilized it’s time for us to return as well. Some times we can find this difficult as we can grow comfortable in the routing and simplicity of our hermitage. However, we didn’t transform ourselves to hind in the cocoon. So we break apart the discipline that sheltered us and go out into the world with new habits and attitudes. We go out and flap our wings. When returning you should go out and have some fun, enjoy your new self. A good way to mark your return is with a party.
When I returned after transforming my depression I had to go back to school, back to work, but I made sure to go and enjoy myself as well. Why shed depression if you don’t go and have any fun?
You might have some resistance from people you know to your new way of life but some people will always resist change. Just go out in the world and be the butterfly.
