Welcome to a new month! It is time to get excited for everything that we will experience this month. At the start of every month I enjoy thinking about all the amazing things that will happen, the people I will interact with and the amazing milestones that I get to celebrate.
 
In this blog post, we will explore three tips to help us transition to the next phase and make the best of the upcoming months. Check out part 1, part 2,  part 3 , part 4,  part 5, part 6, part 7, part 8 and part 9 of the transition preparation guide.
 
#1: Think positively and be happy
Watching the news and observing things happening around us can easily make us worried and have negative thoughts. Choosing to be happy and positive is one of the very important ways to survive these uncertain times. To maintain your joy, you might also need to cut off people and things that fill you with anxiety and worry. We are responsible for our own happiness and positive state of mind. Being happy makes life more enjoyable.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Make time to celebrate the good things in your life
  • Do the little things that make you happy
 
#2: Enjoy human interactions
Meeting up with family and friends physically might not be possible at the moment depending on where you are. The distance and changes in our social connections definitely affects a lot of us. It takes more effort these days to seek out and enjoy human interactions. This past weekend we had a virtual dinner with friends, something I would never have thought about doing before. Laughing and sharing stories with people you like is always incredibly special.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Schedule time to connect with the amazing people in your life
  • Tell people you love how important they are to you
 
#3: Don't compare yourself to others
One lesson that would change your life is realizing that we are all on vastly different life journeys. Comparing yourself to others will keep you in a constant state of dissatisfaction. When we look at others’ lives, we tend to see the things we are missing in our lives and then we think they are better than us. Personally, I have learned to appreciate where I am in life and keep working on being better on my journey irrespective of what others around me are doing.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Celebrate where you are at on your journey
  • Be aware of areas where you are comparing yourself to others
 
Final Thoughts
Let's wrap up this post with one lesson that I have learned:
One thing that has kept me going over the past months is, finding joy in the small good things that I experience. I have been very intentional about enjoying the simple things that make me happy. At the end of each day, I think about the things that happened over the day that I am grateful for. Sometimes my list includes going grocery shopping, talking to my family, getting my work done or eating a great meal. This helps me acknowledge that life is good even with everything happening in the world around me.
 
Call to Action
How are you going to celebrate the small wins in your life? Find joy in the little things.
