Transitions

Transitions are hard.

I got back to LA yesterday from a week in Israel for my nephew's wedding.

Just being there filled me with so much appreciation and gratitude. 

But leaving was so hard.

I will share more about the trip soon... but today, I'm feeling the hardness of coming back and getting back into a normal routine.

After nearly 24 hours of travel, my body is feeling tired, achey and jet lagged.

I'm feeling the let-down of it being over and way too short.

I'm feeling so happy for my nephew and his new bride, but sad that the celebrations and togetherness are over and now it's just... quiet.

And I'm feeling that familiar sadness every time I leave my beloved homeland and that longing pulling me back.

I often find myself questioning and doubting everything when I'm feeling tired and down.

It's a common thing we all do.

I used to see it all the time when my clients would come back from a big tour. There's a sense of relief to be home, but then there's always the let down. The questions of now what? The uncertainty of what to do and how to transition back to a normal routine. The questions of what is my normal and do I even want to go back to that?

I see it collectively now as society slowly transitions back to our "new normal" with COVID. People are struggling to go back to what was once an unquestioned routine and suddenly questioning everything.

If you ever find yourself struggling to transition back to a routine after a significant event or time away... just know- it's totally normal. 

There may be some important questions you're asking yourself. Be patient while you listen for what's true intuition and what's just the discomfort of the transition.

The most important thing is to give yourself grace and just be patient as you find your groove. 

That's what I'm doing for myself today, and for as long as I need....

P.S. Taking care of yourself through all of life's transitions is the crucial to making your impact in the world. I'd love to support you through 1:1 coaching... send me a note and let's chat.
