It's a Choice

I've been working with many women who are experiencing dramatic life transitions; retirement, change of address, major changes in the home, loss of a loved one-etc. The most important thing I can share is, how you handle these transitions is up to the individual person. I have been very impressed with how many women seek out their support networks and ask for the help they need. Others have put themselves in a most unenviable position of trying to handle their situations without help, this method doesn't seem to be working! It's important to realize that there are going to be transitions, and transitions are difficult enough to navigate through, you don't have to do it alone. You have a choice, there are people and resources available to help. It's important to challenge yourself to be strong enough to ask for help. There are many people out there who want to support others, they have the skills and the motivation but, you need to ask, go out and work to make life better! How you choose to handle life's transitions is up to you, if you believe that life will work out, things will get better and keep moving forward, you will navigate these events successfully. Don't send yourself negative messages, be positive and believe that you will get through the transitions stronger and wiser, ask for help and tap into those people around you waiting to support and love you.
