Your Transition Toolbox — How Does It Serve You?

Is this in your transition toolbox?

Your transition toolbox is the set of skills that you use to navigate changes in your life.  Changes and transitions are happening all the time, so this toolbox is key to your success.

But what is in your transition toolbox?  And do you even have one?

Finding time to navigate transitions is a necessity of life, and yet one that we often see as an interruption or a disruption in the “normal” flow of events.

But effectively making transitions is a skill that will stand you in good stead, as life is punctuated by small and large changes almost constantly.  From the traffic jam that makes you late for work, to the loss of a longstanding relationship, change is a constant at the core of our lives.

Two Tips for Your Transition Toolbox:

These two tips are very helpful, not only when you are going through changes, but ALL the time:

1. The Opening Door:

For every loss, there is a gain. What door opens when a current door closes? The more forward-looking you become, the more quickly you leave fear, self-pity, and resentment behind. Write down the potential gains, filing your notes where you can easily access them. Refer to your Opening Door notes often. This helps you survey your options with curiosity, not fear.

2. The Gratitude Attitude: 

Every day, first thing in the morning and before bedtime, list 3 things you are genuinely grateful for. Write them down and look at them. Reflect on which time choices contribute to these gifts. And remember:

“If nothing ever changed, there’d be no butterflies.”
