Slow start to 2016
It’s the middle of April and almost school vacation time. I don’t know about you but the first part of this year has been a bit tough. Though it wasn’t a horrible winter in terms of snow, it seems that we’ve been in a cloudy, rainy, temperature fluctuating pattern. It’s been the same in terms of sickness as well. First it’s a bad cold that lingers for weeks, then a stomach bug with fever, to upset tummy’s and now it’s allergy season with all the trees doing their thing. I’m hoping we’re heading into a pattern of nice weather, no sickness and higher energy levels. It’s spring. It’s a time to regroup, refresh and renew. A time to learn or try something new. It is with that mindset, I hope to shift gears, gain energy and focus on new things.
Tips for working thru transition
When you are working thru a transition, here are some keys to success:
*Focus
What is the transition about? What is changing? How is this transition going to impact me? What do I need to do right now? What should I stop doing? What are my key priorities and am I focused on them?
* Mindset & Attitude
You get to choose your attitude and how you show up in your world. Your mindset is all your own. How you choose to perceive a situation may not be the reality. Pause and check in with yours. What is your mindset? If you shifted it what may change? Emotions are contagious. If you have a positive mindset and attitude it can impact those around you. If you focus on the positive you may impact those around you to do the same. How does your choice of mindset and attitude impact how others see you? Transitions can be hard and usually have an emotional impact in some way. Some people get nervous and others get excited about the changes coming. Some people totally disengage from their work and become stagnant. Whatever the case, it is important to acknowledge how you are feeling and that emotions are normal. Realize that you are not alone and get support. How others see you is important.
* Look for Opportunities
Reflect and ask yourself. Are there any opportunities for me in my current environment that’s in transition? Could I create an opportunity? Could I raise my hand to do something new? What’s possible?
*Unplug
It’s important to unplug from our technical devices. As transitions can be stressful and energy consuming, so is our technology. Take a time out and unplug for a little while. Go for a walk. Have a face to face conversation with a friend. Take time to unwind for yourself.
