Hey Heathershenhouse This is my last of many things this year, and today was the very last "first day of school" picture that I will take! I've been a parent for 24 years! Whoa, it just occurred to me as I type this that I should get a retirement party next year when the kids graduate! I know, I know, you never stop being a parent but I'll become a passive parent instead of active. I'll be cheering them on from the sidelines.... like when I'd watch them play soccer or that 1 month that Harry played football. lol. It's pretty weird to think that there will be no children in my home in under a year but it's also exciting! Thad and I are busy making plans for all the places we'll travel to! Transitions are natural and can sometimes be very tough. Here are just a few quick tips to help you manage any transitions you may be experiencing: - Plan ahead and give yourself something to look forward to!
- Talk to friends or a coach about how you are feeling- don't bottle it up!
- Take up something you've always wanted to try- piano, art class, dancing to name a few!
- Join Coach Training!! (You'll make new friends and learn SO much!)
- Celebrate- plan a party for your new change in life!
- Mourn- allow yourself time to feel sad, scared, or whatever you are experiencing.
- Ground yourself in the present moment, don't stress about the future.
- Be vulnerable- share your story or struggle with others, it's actually quite freeing!
- Kick up the self care- massage, exercise, spa day, or whatever you love!
The most important thing to remember is this: don't sabotage you're long term happiness because of short term discomfort!
