Survive Transition And Icky Neutral Zones
Sick of what you are doing? Ready to leave your old world but not sure what your new world is? In that painful in-between place? Ahhhhhh transitions. The tricky challenge of moving from one world or way of being into another. When life kicks us out of our comfort zone so we can become our next self.
I have been going through a big transition myself these last couple of years and as it picks up speed and completes (at least on one level) it seems at every turn I am encountering others who are going through the same, sometimes really challenging process. So a little article on transitions and that awkward uncertainty stage called ‘the neutral zone’ seemed in order (to both reassure myself and others that transitions really are perfectly normal and a necessary component of a well lived life).
