Our bodies change, people change, relationships change. It isn’t always fun and can be overwhelming. But in truth, the only thing we can control is our response to change.
Each individual needs strategies to help adapt to new opportunities, potentials for significant growth, and a better understanding of one’s self.
But change can include grief and sadness even if it is a positive transition. That space between transitions can often feel vulnerable and unknown. It’s similar to having let go of one trapeze swing, and not quite yet reaching the next one.
Transitions are opportunities for being creative, getting unstuck, and certainly for growing. Your personal level of peace and satisfaction is a vital key to how you view your life. Give yourself permission to fully explore all your emotions, including those that are uncomfortable.
“How do geese know when to fly to the sun? Who tells them the seasons? How do we, humans, know when it is time to move on? As with the migrant birds, so surely with us, there is a voice within, if only we would listen to it, that tells us so certainly when to go forth into the unknown.”― Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
