🌱 Transitions: Surviving and Thriving Through Uncertainty
🌀 Ready or not… we all go through transitions.
They may last weeks, months… or even longer.
And they’re almost always marked by an awkward, unsettling unknowing.
Transitions move us from the familiar to the unknown—
from what we knew… into who we’re becoming.
🔄 Types of Transitions
Some are expected:
📚 Starting school
🏠 Changing homes
💼 Switching careers
❤️ Beginning (or ending) a relationship
Some catch us off guard:
⚠️ Layoffs or financial loss
💔 Sudden breakups
🕊️ Unexpected illness or death
No matter what the reason… transitions shake us.
Stability becomes hard to hold.
😣 Expect to Feel Unsettled
You may feel anxious, disoriented, tired—or even depressed.
That’s not failure. That’s human.
What matters most is knowing this:
This season will not last forever.
💡 How to Grow Through Transition
1. 🌊 Accept That Change Is Part of Life
Grieve what you’re leaving behind—
but don’t get stuck trying to hold onto it.
A door has closed… and that’s okay. You’re allowed to move forward.
2. 🌈 Look for the Good
Try to see the change as an invitation.
Even painful transitions can open the door to unexpected growth.
3. 🔍 Rediscover Yourself
Routine can become a rut.
Transitions give us a chance to see ourselves in a new light.
4. 🤝 Ask for Support
You’re not meant to do this alone.
Reach out. Ask questions. Let those who’ve walked before you guide the way.
5. ⏳ Be Patient With the Process
You don’t need to figure it all out overnight.
Give yourself grace. Growth takes time.
💬 Gentle Reminder
💗 Be kind to yourself.
You’re not doing it wrong. You’re doing your best.
“We turn out… to realize our greater potentialities… by viewing our own individual crises as opportunities to let go of who we have been, and to set forth on the journey toward becoming something more.”
