Advice for Managing <br />Life Transitions These suggestions can help you <br />through the process of a life transition. Focus on the aspect <br />of transition in which <br />you thrive. Experts say there are three aspects of <br />transition — "the long goodbye," "the messy <br />middle" and "the new beginning." A person is usually <br />better at one transition aspect, so focus on that one. Be clear about your emotions <br />and act on them. Big changes can be scary. <br />Identifying your fear can help <br />you process it and other emotions. Let some things go. By letting go of aspects of your <br />old habits or personality, you make space <br />for new outlooks and ways of doing things. Get creative. From cooking to painting, <br />creativity can help with <br />feeling grounded when things get chaotic. Give your <br />life story a revision. Transitions are periods in which <br />old behaviors and fears can be healed. <br />Remember that you are in control <br />of the story you tell about your life.
