What have you learned through the season you've been in?
When you're starting to prepare for a transition, thankfulness for what has been, can take you a long way forward.
Even if the season would have been hard and tested your limits in many ways, you can find some ways how you have grown.
I've experienced that highlighting those things for myself helps in avoiding self sabotage in the next season.
Even when transitioning from the best season ever, you can also benefit from actively seeing what you've learned.
It might feel hard to let go of the wonderful aspects of your closing season.
And the challenge can be the temptation to stay in the day dreaming mode of what once was.
The letting go process is easier when you take with you the farewell gift of the season - your own growth.
Who are you becoming and how can your new season support you in that?
When you remember who you are and who you are becoming, you've found the perfect perspective for your new season.
If you're having a hard time figuring out who you are, ask yourself what makes you come alive.
That can help you in the process.
You can plan the elements of your new season around the growth you want to see.
And you can add in the mix the elements that bring you the most joy.
Even if the boundaries of your next season would be tight, with persevering planning you can find some ways to support yourself in this way.
You can also ask yourself what is something "good" that you can give up to get more time and space for the "best".
How can you be in the now-moment and take it all in?
When you're transitioning, one of the most helpful perspective is finding the way for yourself to be present in the now.
It's too easy to get carried away in the remembering of the past season or diving really deep into planning the next season.
Finding your way to stay in the moment right now can help you feel grounded.
It can remind you of the beauty of simple things.
Like breathing the fresh air, enjoying the sunrise or sunset, feeling your surroundings and listening to the sounds of your life as it is now.
Take those moments as a gift, when you pause in the between.
The perspective you have just simply shifts.
Sometimes the greatest treasures are found in those moments.
Keep your heart open for the now, 'cause it's worth it.
