Journey of Transition

Every journey has transition; it wouldn’t be a journey without it. Below I will walk you through the scary feelings that come up during a more significant, more acute transition and ways you can deal with all of the emotions and feelings that surface during that time. 

If you have been following along on my social platforms, you would know that I am currently experiencing a transition in my life right now. Last week, I temporarily stayed in a friend’s condo; this week I moved onto another temporary space for the next six months, I have just launched my first ever virtual Sound Bath Membership, and to top it off, my ex-husband is taking me to court. 

This stage of my life has been nothing short of terrifying. I have felt sick to my stomach more days than not, and my body is shaky from the nerves. I am venturing through all new territory, and I have no idea what to expect or what my outcome might be. 

But to be honest, it is all quite beautiful. So many suppressed emotions have surfaced throughout this transition that I have been able to work through.

How I can stay grounded throughout such a big transition

During such a scary time in life, it is essential to lean into faith. You must know that this transition is meant for you, no matter how hard it might be right now. For me, I know that the Universe has guided me here, and if this all doesn’t work out, I know that I will learn something from it all. I must trust that the timing is always right and get up and try again. 

It is also imperative to lean into the community, lean into those who are your biggest supporters and who will cheer you on and reassure you throughout the process. If you haven’t yet found your people, there are tons of groups and resources online that will help you find people who may be experiencing similar transitions as you have previously and can help you through it. I have met some of the most incredible people in my life through social platforms, and I am thankful every day for them.  

Another essential modality I used daily to keep me grounded is deep breathing. Every morning I have a non-negotiable yoga meeting with the CEO. If I miss this meeting, myself and the rest of the business might crumble, and I know I cannot let down the CEO, my clients and my people. (side note – I am the CEO ;) I have to stay committed and hold space for myself first so that I can show up for you, for my clients, and my people.  

Stay committed to your boundaries and stay true to yourself. Take time to breathe through the mess and gather your thoughts so you can decide how to respond. Talk yourself through it, if you have your basic needs covered, if you have shelter, are hydrated, fed and safe; these inconvenient things that fluster you won’t matter five years from now, sometimes even five days from now. It is being able to make those quick decisions appropriately without involving emotions that keep you from holding yourself back from missing an opportunity and allowing yourself not to get worked up.

A few other modalities I use to help keep me grounded through such significant transitions are meditation, journaling, and sound baths. Each of these techniques I have been practising daily, and even sometimes twice a day. You must lean into such practices to keep yourself from experiencing an emotional spiral and staying on track.   

Know that you are so resilient, that you’ve done hard things before, and you can get through the hard stuff again. It doesn’t necessarily make it easier, but it helps to know that this is not the most challenging thing; it is just another thing. Reframe your story and acknowledge that it is not your life; it is just another thing to get through. Lean into the things that assist you and keep you grounded throughout your transition and keep going. 

You are not alone; I am here for you; you can get through this. 

I rise, You rise.
