Send me a text! I’d love to know what you're thinking!

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson explore the distinction between change and transition. Quoting D. Michael Lindsay, they discuss how change happens in an instant, whereas transition unfolds over weeks, months, and sometimes years. Bolstering this idea with personal anecdotes, they delve into the importance of giving oneself the time and space to adapt to change, acknowledging the losses involved, and ultimately finding comfort and growth in the new realities.

Tod Bolsinger and Markus Watson discuss this quote from Sarah Bereza in Episode 142: Navigating the 7 Stages of Transition:

"Change happens to us in an instant.  Transition happens over weeks, months, sometimes even years." 


THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:

  • Understanding the difference between change and transition is crucial for adapting to life's challenges.
  • Acknowledging the loss and grief that come with change can help build resilience and lead to a quicker processing of the transition.
  • Developing patience and perseverance involves recognizing the importance of giving oneself the space to adapt and acknowledging the honesty of what has been lost.
  • Allowing the necessary time to adapt to change and transition is vital in order to be intentional and patient in dealing with life's challenges.
  • Embracing the reality that transition takes time, and staying committed to the process can lead to a place of comfort and contentment in the new circumstances.
