Life Transitions

It is often said that the only constant in life is change. Redundancy, relationship break-ups and moving house are some of the bigger transitions we may experience. But consider the changes that are happening all the time - moving from study into paid employment, growing families, travel, education, illness and switching careers. Its not surprising that we seem to always be in some form of transition.

Change undoubtedly extends our comfort zone and can sometimes leave us feeling overwhelmed. Even if you have left a relationship or lost your job, it is vital you choose your direction and set yourself objectives. Revisit your personal values - that is what is most important and significant to you. Check that any changes match your values so you are on track to live your ideal life. If you relapse and temporarily slip into your old ways, this doesn't mean you are a lost cause. Stop and evaluate what has worked up until this point, what hasn't worked and how you can start again for better results.

Entering new phases of life can be the ideal time to ensure that you are taking care of your self-care basics like health, nutrition, fitness and relaxation so that you are less likely to succumb to the stress that often accompanies major transitions.

Remember to embrace change. This doesn't mean expecting it to be easy or simple. Actively look for ways to overcome any challenges and obstacles that get in your way. Always look for fresh and exciting opportunities - focus on the positive!

Whatever period of change you may be facing, consider these self-coaching questions:

• What is my ideal life scenario?
• How different is my current situation from my ideal scenario?
• What could I do differently to move forward in life?
• What else do I need to consider before I make changes?
• What support do I need to put in place to help me cope with these changes?
• What action will I enthusiastically commit to?

Work with an ASPIRATIONS personal coach to keep you on track as you manage life transitions.
