When life feels like you're in a tornado, here are 3 things to prioritize during major life or career transitions:
1. Prioritize Self-Care
It's easy to push yourself to the bottom of the priority list during challenging times. Write yourself a permission slip to carve out time for your mental and physical well-being. If we don't intentionally honor what brings us joy and restoration, burnout and stress will gladly consume that space.
2. Build a Supportive Network
Transitions aren't meant to be navigated alone. Surround yourself with people who believe in your potential, challenge your thinking, and offer genuine support. This might mean reconnecting with mentors, joining professional groups, or having honest conversations with trusted friends who can provide perspective and emotional scaffolding. Tap into your trusted circle of supporters.
3. Establish Clear, Flexible Goals
While transitions can feel chaotic, creating a roadmap provides direction and hope. Set intentional yet adaptable milestones that give you a sense of purpose. Break big objectives into smaller, manageable steps. Flexibility is your greatest asset when navigating a big change.
Remember: Transitions are temporary. Your resilience is permanent. 💪
