Navigating the Intersection of Life

Are you feeling lost? Not sure what direction to take next in life? Life transitions happen to all of us.

It can look like the end of a marriage or partnership, death of a loved one, loss of a job, illness and/or desire for more fulfilment in life. These periods in our life can feel overwhelming, particularly when you are not sure what to do next.

You're not alone. Many of the clients we have worked with have experienced something similar.

Here are some tips to managing a life transition and connecting with your inner guidance system to figure out what's next.

Acknowledge your feelings

It's normal to feel a range of emotions when you're going through a life transition. You may feel scared, sad, angry, or lost. It's important to allow yourself to feel these emotions and to express them in a healthy way. If you bottle them up, they will only come out later in unhealthy ways.

Seek support

You don't have to go through this alone. Seek out supportive family and friends, or appropriately skilled coach. Talking to someone who can offer unbiased support and advice can be very helpful to gaining clarity.

Get clear on your values

What is important to you? What do you want in life? Getting clear on your values will help you figure out what you want to do next and be a strong guide to decision-making.

Follow your intuition

You know yourself better than anyone else. We have been conditioned to look externally for answers, but the answers are within us. Trust your gut instinct and follow your heart. You'll know what's right for you.

Be patient

Give yourself time to adjust to the change. Life transitions can take time, so be patient with yourself. Allow yourself to grieve the loss of what was and embrace the new chapter in your life.

"Marianne helped me listen to myself and, truth be told, that inner voice was a weakling when I started. It was confused and doubtful, constantly being drowned out by the 'shoulds' of life, and a desperate need to take action – NOW. ?Through Marianne’s coaching I became clearer on my values, acknowledged my wants without judgement, and gave myself space to 'be'. The path became clearer, the opportunities became apparent, and things changed DRAMATICALLY and QUICKLY." ~?Ingrid Pettit
