Life is a process of beginnings and endings. Both in life and nature, there are times when things move slowly and do not seem to have changed much. Then suddenly, things change quickly. Moving from August to September, the weather changes gradually at first, and then it seems that suddenly summer is over. The same happens in our lives, the transitions are as natural as the changing seasons.
Life Transitions are difficult because they force us to let go of the familiar and face the future with a sense of vulnerability. Most of the transitions of life begins with a series of losses:? The loss of a role? The loss of a person? The loss of a place? The loss of a sense of your place in the world Any significant loss makes most people feel fear and anxiety. From now on its future may be full of questions, it is normal to feel fear. We live in a culture that has taught us to be very uncomfortable with uncertainty, so we are anxious when disrupt our lives. On the positive side, these transitions give us the opportunity to learn about our strengths and explore what you really want out of life. This time of reflection may lead to a sense of renewal, stability, and a new equilibrium. A life transition can be positive or negative, planned or unplanned. Some transitions occur without warning and can be quite dramatic, as in cases of accidents, death, divorce, job loss or serious illness.
