Time is going by very quickly. I feel like July just started and we are already in the final weeks of the month. There are many new lessons that we have been learning through these uncertain times. I am excited to see what the next months bring.
 
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 and part 7 of the transition preparation guide.
 
#1: Build and connect with your support network
One of the recurring themes in my recent blog posts has been the people in our lives. Over the past months I have been reminded of the fact that having people we can confide in is very important. Going through life alone is hard.  There are so many benefits of having a support group with people who can be companions on your journey. Talking to others, sharing experiences and learning from them will help broaden your perspective.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Find a group of people who you can share your experiences with
  • Spend time regularly with the people who help you
 
#2: Admit when you are struggling
Many of us have been trained to put up a strong front and act like everything is ok all the time. It is ok to not feel good or struggle with managing everything in your life. Giving yourself permission to admit when you are struggling is essential. When people around you know what is going on, they are able to help you. I have had to learn to ask people in my personal and professional life for support when I need it. Also knowing that I am not the only one feeling helpless at times, helps me.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Be aware and open with your struggles and challenges
  • Ask for help if you need help
 
#3: Be aware of your needs and take care of yourself
Helping others be comfortable and happy is something most of us are good at. Imagine if we paid ourselves as much attention as we did to others. Thinking about what we need is not something we do very often. To be healthy in our mind and body, we need to feel like our needs are being met. When we know what we need and find ways to meet our needs, we will be healthier and happier.
 
Strategies to consider
  • Take 10 minutes to think about what you need and are not getting today
  • Identify one thing you can do for yourself and do it
 
Final Thoughts
Let's wrap up this post with one lesson that I have learned:
This past week, I felt a deep feeling of gratitude. With everything going on, I needed to remind myself of the good that is happening in my life. Sometimes it is hard to see the good in the midst of all the scary things happening in the world. I have been reminding myself daily of how blessed I am.
 
Call to Action
How will you love yourself this week? Show yourself some love.
