Moving THROUGH means sitting in the pain, processing it and working through it – not just numbing it. I used to numb it – with food, exercise, alcohol, etc. – but I was stagnant in my growth and my happiness reflected that. Move through changes by – * Identifying the full extent and impact on the change on your life * Grieving the loss you feel * Addressing the discomfort of change * Reminding yourself of your strength and courage and ability to do hard things * Knowing that this is a season of strengthening DISRUPTIONS ARE OPPORTUNITIES Disruptions make us slow down and reconnect to ourselves, our strength and our desires – if properly processed, either on our own or with a coach, they can unveil undiscovered opportunities that we might not have ever discovered! To turn disruption into discovery: Look for the lesson Find something to be grateful for Consider every disruption a strengthening exercise Spend time seeking clarity and vision Repurpose your disappointment with determination See yourself as multi-dimensional, multi-talented and multi-purposed
