Recently, I've been through some huge life transitions that I'm planning on writing about very soon. Some loss, some work changes, some inner adjustments. Change is hard. When we think of life transitions, we think of the big event like the moving day, the first day on the job, the day the baby is born. But life transitions creep up on us and can actually take a long time to grow and fester.
Life’s transitions—whether they’re planned or unexpected—often bring a mix of excitement and anxiety, but also just pure anxiety. But these moments of change also offer an opportunity for growth, if we allow ourselves to navigate them with intention and grace.
One of the most important things to remember during transitions is to embrace the uncertainty, as life rarely unfolds exactly how we expect, and that’s okay. Going with the flow of the change can help us stay open to new possibilities and perspectives, rather than clinging to what was or what we think should be.
Another key to navigating change is to stay curious, instead of fearing the discomfort that often accompanies transitions. What are we really seeking? What’s exciting about this next chapter? This curiosity helps us move forward with less resistance and more enthusiasm.
Finally, be patient with yourself. Adjusting to a new phase of life takes time. Celebrate small wins along the way, and don’t forget to acknowledge the courage it takes to embrace change. Transition may be difficult, but it also creates space for something new to bloom, and watching how it unfolds and going with the current may help you maintain your sanity throughout.
