Quiet transition produces good in your life

Sometimes transition appears as a lull in activity. I call this the "quiet transition". You're busy with your life....work, family, interests, community service....and suddenly the pace seems to slow down. Resist thinking of this as failure....an indication that you're not on the right track. Instead, embrace this time as a message from the universe that you are lacking balance and welcome the rest. Quiet transitions contain a dynamic message for you.

When the pace slows down, this is the time for you to relax, and listen for the "still small voice" inside. Don't continue to rush around, trying to force the results you want. Instead, enjoy the peaceful rest period because quiet periods always proceed busy periods, so enjoy them while they last.

Don't doubt that this transition is bringing good into your life. A wise person said, "You should avoid fear of letting go of the lesser in order that the greater good may appear."

Listen to your indwelling guidence - your "inner teacher" - and follow through on its promptings. This could be the wisdom of the Universe speaking to you. When you meet these transition periods nonresistantly, your life becomes balanced, satisfying and productive of good. Your "cup runneth over".

Seasonal Transitions

Transitions occur in all stripes and flavors: age-related transitions, career transitions, family unit transitions, spiritual growth and transitions.

There is also the yearly transition of the seasons. Can you believe we're a less than two weeks away from Thanksgiving? There is a transition we're entering into that most of us really welcome...the Thanksgiving and holiday season that leads up to the new year.

I like to take the time span from Thanksgiving to New Year's to review my personal, professional, and spiritual goals and progress. What were my goals at the beginning of the year? How am I tracking on those goals? What's changed? What transitions did I plan for, and what transitions came unexpectedly?

How's my "inner life"? I'm a big believer in the inner dialog that goes on at all times. My readers know that each of us has a choice of what and how to think: I can focus on what's good in my life, or I can focus on what's bad. If I focus on what's good....lo and behold! it gets even better. If I focus on what's bad...well, it seems to be a self fulfilling prophecy.

My father, who I adored, used to say, "Count your blessings, even if they're in fractions". I love that and use it often.

Here's an exercise I've used that comes from Creative Visualization:

Write down the following categories:
Work/career
Money
Lifestyle/possessions
Relationships
Creative self-expression
Leisure/travel
Personal growth/education

Write down under each category what you would like to change or improve in the future. Then, write down: "If I could be, do, and have everything I want, this would be my ideal scene:"

This fits beautifully in the Dynamic Transitioning program in these ways: 1) Know Thyself; 2) Consider the Possibilities; 3) See Yourself Succeeding
