70 - How Do You Handle Life Transitions?

In this episode, Annaliese and Alan talk about navigating life’s tricky transitions—those times when moving, health challenges, or loved ones’ changes upend your routine. Transitions can feel overwhelming, but there are practical ways to manage the weight and complexity while staying grounded.

You’ll Hear About:

• How transitions happen both externally and internally, reshaping our lives and our sense of self. Reflecting on past changes can remind you of your ability to adapt and grow.
• Why reframing transitions as “normal” instead of “problems” can ease your experience. Seeing change as part of life helps create inner stability.
• How to recognize the thoughts you have during transitions. Do they remind you of your strengths or weigh you down with doubt? Helpful thoughts make all the difference.

A Step-by-Step Approach to Navigating Transitions:

• Notice your thoughts about the transition:

  • Are you framing it as a threat or an opportunity?
  • Recognize that how you view the situation affects your choices, feelings, and actions.

• Remind yourself of past transitions:

  • Say, “I’ve done this before. I’ve dealt with change and taken helpful actions.”

• Reframe the transition:

  • See it as an invitation to zoom out, reflect on your capabilities, and focus on your strengths.

• Practice focusing on what you have and what you can do:

  • Ask yourself, “What’s one thing I can do today to move forward?”
  • Remember, your next step doesn’t have to fix everything—just keep moving one day at a time.

Transitions are inevitable, but these steps can help you handle them with clarity and confidence. Listen in today to hear more!
