Working through a Transition

Hey Love,

If you haven’t been feeling like yourself lately, you are in good company. After the collective trauma we’ve endured during the past 2 ½ years, many people are beginning to experience a release or “come down” as they attempt a full return to their pre-pandemic life. But unlike the after-effects of missing your flight or cramming to meet a deadline, this adrenaline crash is leading to a whole new set of unfamiliar challenges.

You may be feeling an increased sensitivity to people, places, stuff or ideas. You might get overwhelmed more easily or feel a new level of exhaustion. So many people are feeling lost, wanting to spend more time alone, reevaluating their values and priorities.

So what can you do to find ease during this not-so-easy transition period?

Know that you aren’t alone. Whether you choose to talk about it with others or not, take solace in the fact that millions of people around the world are feeling exactly the same way.

Stop passing judgment on yourself. Let go of any self-imposed shame or guilt for not being “over it” and instead give yourself the same love and compassion you would extend to a best friend.

Don’t ignore or minimize what you are experiencing. This collective release is 100% real and it may take a while to find your new footing, so try to honor where you are in the process.

The truth for many of us is that the old life we’ve returned to doesn’t fit quite right anymore. And while it might be unsettling, it's not bad or wrong to feel this kind of change. In fact, there is a whole new way of living that is opening to you, if you let it.
