Transitions & Change.

For new jobs, new cities, endings, and the strange weeks in between. Change is easier to see on paper than in your head. Use these while it's happening, not after.

  5. Which part of your new situation still feels like a costume?
  6. What would you tell yourself from six months ago?
  7. What's one thing that stayed the same through all of this?
  8. Finish this: I'll know I've settled in when ___.
  9. What are you afraid to say out loud about this change?
  10. Is there something you're grieving that nobody would call a loss?
  11. What small routine could anchor you this week?
