“Don’t cry because it’s over. Smile because it happened.” -Ted Geisel
Endings are hard, even if it’s just leaving your favorite vacation spot. When a relationship breaks up or a job is lost, it’s natural to shed a few tears. The key is to move beyond the sadness to a place of gratitude. If you can cherish the past instead of getting stuck in it, your heart will be open and ready to receive the new gifts life has in store.
*Allow yourself to grieve while remembering to celebrate what has been. If it will help, create a scrapbook of the period you’re leaving behind. It can soothe the transition and give you something to look back on.
*Think about all the opportunities this change might have created. Think about all the projects you’ve put off. Perhaps you dreamed of a new career or dreamed of walking in your purpose and passion, but thought it was too risky. Now the door is open. Walk through and see what’s on the other side.
Cherishing the memories,
~Sonja
