Change is the only constant in life. At every stage of life, it invites you to grow and develop the potential that lies within you.
Transitioning from the known to the unknown is a challenging and stressful experience, frequently bringing to the surface a multitude of conflicting and unexplained emotions.
How successfully you make any transition is reliant upon how well resourced you are emotionally, psychologically, socially, physically and materially. The stress that change brings can strip you of some of these resources so that you end up feeling abandoned and fearful of failure.
Maybe you can relate to some of the following:
- You feel overwhelmed from a sudden unexpected change in your life
- You’re confused about a major life decision you need to make
- You feel out of control from changing relationships in your life
- You feel anxious and uncertain about your future
- You’re lonely, isolated and feel hopeless about your future
- You feel exhausted and lack zest for your life
- You’re angry and resentful at yourself or others
Sudden changes and life transitions can leave you feeling lost, overwhelmed, angry and in despair. Some common life transitions that can be stressful include:
- Changes in your relationship status, including loss, separation or divorce
- Marrying, forming a new relationship or becoming a step-parent
- Stress due to the challenges of being a new parent
- Empty nest syndrome where you and your partner are suddenly alone
- Difficulty adjusting to a new city, culture or environment
- Worry about getting older and feeling increasingly alone and isolated
- Sudden or chronic physical or mental illness
- The death of someone close to you or the loss of a loved one
- Loss of employment or a change in your working situation
- Loss of your financial security or savings
