Moving through this particular transition each year with as much grace and dignity as the trees do is becoming a personal goal for me. We undergo endless transitions as we journey through life. Many of us are resistant to change, yet the presence of change is one of the few constants. Often we want to skip the process of the transition and get to the other side quickly in order to regain a comfort level. Yet, I believe that life works its magic within the process of the transition - somewhere in the messy middle of it.
Transformation emerges from within the chaos.
We experience transitions in every area of our life including career, relationships, beliefs, self awareness, skill building, emotional intelligence, and physical state, just to name a few. We can reframe our experience of transition into one that demonstrates growth, mastery, and transformation. Our evolution depends on our ability to ride the tide of transition. A few simple strategies can be employed to help keep us steady, strong, and confident throughout the process of transition. Some transitions are welcomed and some are not.
