A short term life change characterized by sharp, quick discontinuity with past - this is the formal definition of life transition you would find on the web.
It is not as complex as it sounds. Any quick change, positive or negative, that happens in our day-to-day lives are transitions.
How easy is it to cope transitions?!
Positive transitions are always welcome. Yes, why not. Why wouldnt anyone welcome positive experiences like a windfall ?!
But, how good are we at handling negative ones? If it is unexpected then it is really worse. Even when it is expected, if you dont train your mind adequately, it is really hard to accept the negative transitions in life.
They are challenging because they begin with a string of losses. They cause us to leave behind the familiar and force us to adjust to new ways of living, at least temporarily. When a transition from positive to negative is expected, and especially if it is known to happen regularly, it becomes really difficult for the mind to get set accordingly. They can leave us feeling completely unprepared, dejected and withdrawn, in turn bringing in resistance to everything.
It will take a while before you begin to accept the change.
Best way out is to accept that change is a normal part of life. People who have this attitude seem to have the easiest time getting through life transitions. Expect to feel uncomfortable as the time of transition is confusing and disorienting.
Life is a roller coaster ride, anyway! Enjoy it.
