Transitioning from Just Fine to MORE

Finding YOUR MORE is definitely a process and I would say it is really a transition. A transition from living a life that is Just Fine to living a life that is full, fulfilling and MORE than fine. During this transition process, you get to redefine yourself in the world, finding and living the life you know you want to live.

Now transitions are a huge part of life. They are also a part that people often don’t know quite enough about. There is a lot that goes on in a transition process. And if we aren’t aware of some of the steps, it can easily feel as if we are lost, on the wrong path, or we might even start questioning whether we really want what we think we want. All of this is normal and part of the process.

I will talk about this process intermittently in the posts to come. Let’s start, though, at the beginning. Pretty good place to start, don’t you think? The first important element in terms of transitions is understanding the difference between change and transition. We often use these words interchangeably, but they are very different. First of all, remember that change is a one-time occurrence. It is not a process. What IS a process is the transition that a change might bring. The transition is your own internal process of redefining or reinventing yourself after the change. Just separating these two concepts can be helpful. Because if a change does happen and you feel like your control is gone, remember that the next part—the process—is all YOURS. The change took place and it’s over. What comes AFTER the change is your own internal process and you have control over that. This is where you take your power back whether you decided on the change or not.

Useful questions to ask yourself here are things like Who do I want to be now after this change? or What can this change allow me to become?

So in this case, it could be some change happened in your life that made you realize that you want MORE. That could really be anything. Or maybe it was a number of changes that led you to where you are today. Whatever the change, whatever caused you to become really serious, really committed to finding and living your MORE, this now time for YOUR transition.

So go ahead...ask yourself these questions... Who do you want to be once you have made this change? What can this change allow me to become?
