Change is uncomfortable!

I've made some changes recently and had forgotten how uncomfortable they can be. We are creatures of habit. There is a lot of wisdom surrounding change. The title of this post is new wisdom to me that I received from a friend. She was right. Change really is uncomfortable but absolutely necessary as you work towards achieving your goals.

Pushing past our comfort zones and trying new things is ultimately how we evolve but it is important to give yourself time to adapt to your new situation. Change is a process of both beginning and ending. It is important to take time to grieve what you are leaving behind while you embark on your new opportunity. Although starting a new job can be exciting it can also be very stressful to be in an unfamiliar situation and to have to let go of all the things you liked about the old job.

As I settle into my new life and push past the initial discomfort of transition I am beginning to feel energized by the adventure. The new is starting to feel familiar as it always eventually does.
