FULL TRANSCRIPT
--------------------
Our life is not linear, and we all go through life transitions.
Hello beautiful souls, this is Pascale Gibon your host. A warm welcome to you to episode 303 of the Everyday Life Balance Show.
Today we continue to delve into the chapters in your life that shake your world and knock you off course - those major transitions that redefine your path. Whether it’s an unexpected health challenge, the end of a relationship, a career shift or stepping into the unknown, each transition can leave us feeling lost, overwhelmed, and questioning our identity. However, they also invite us to transform, evolve, renew and reinvent ourselves.
In episode 301, entitled Life Change: Making The Most Of Life Transitions, I share that life transitions are golden opportunities for personal growth and transformation. However, to fully embrace this idea, you need to write a new life story.
According to Bill Feiler, the renowned author of “Life Is In the Transitions,” every life transition includes three distinct phases:
Phase #1: the long goodbyes
Phase #2: the messy middle
Phase #3: the new beginning
In all three phases, you are given the chance to rewrite your story: what will be your new story?
Let’s go through the three phases of transition:
The long goodbyes: in this phase, we mourn the past and find it challenging to bid farewell to what once was. Have you met people like that whose life stopped 20 years ago? They regret what was then and find it difficult to rebuild their lives. As we navigate this phase, we need to remember that clinging to bygones keeps us from fully embracing the present. Since the past is not our entire life, we need to move forward, look at it with fondness and let go of regrets. The past holds wisdom and lessons that shape us, but it’s only a part of our story.
In the messy middle, phase #2, we shed old habits and patterns that no longer serve us and set new ones. During this phase, we encounter even more life disrupters, and we need to clear our messes. It could be, for example, a messy divorce and navigating all the emotions that come with it, like sadness, guilt and shame. Just like a butterfly, this phase symbolises transformation. It’s a chance to forgive ourselves and others, release guilt and heal. Remember that letting go means making space for more peace and growth.
Now the moment you’ve been waiting for - Phase #3: the new beginning. In this chapter, we unveil our new selves, armed with the power to rewrite our stories. This is the phase where everything is possible. Embrace this phase as an opportunity to design your life anew, aligned with your values and passions and rewrite your story.
Your new beginning starts with changing your perception and doing things differently.
Imagine…
- Reconnecting to your values, what is most important to you, giving your life meaning and aligning your life accordingly.
- Making choices that brought you joy and awakened your sparkle.
- Falling back in love with your life. What would your new story look like?
Imagine…
Being at the crossroads of old and new. You stand empowered to choose your path. Your new life awaits, and you need to make a decision. Will you remain attached to the familiar or will you bravely enter the realm of possibilities? Remember that the choice is always yours.
If you are in the midst of a significant life transition, I hope this episode has ignited a spark within you. It’s time to rewrite your story, step into your power and craft a life that resonates with your heart’s desires.
As we wrap up this transformative episode, I want you to know that I believe in your capacity to rise, flourish and create a life that is authentically yours. Remember, your new story is waiting to be written. Live your life powerfully by embracing the journey, embracing the change and the magic of life’s transitions.
I look forward to connecting with you next Monday. Have a fantastic week ahead, take good care and know that you are never alone on this journey. Lots of love and light to you.
