<h2> Life is Full of Transitions</h2>
If you are alive, you will experience many life transitions. You will graduate from school, perhaps you will move to another city. You’ll start and end relationships. You might get married, have children, get divorced or watch someone you love die. You might change jobs or even change careers.
All of these are life transitions, and while they often signal improvements or growth in your life, they are almost always also accompanied by stress.
Read this about family support during the transition to adulthood, for instance. The transition from child or teenager to adult is one of the hardest transitions we have to make as humans, but it is by no means the last one.
Often we downplay the importance or the difficulty of certain transitions, such as changing jobs, moving to a new city or getting into a new relationship. Even if the transitions have a net positive effect on our lives, the transition itself can be stressful and anxiety-provoking.
The support of your family, whether your family by birth or a chosen family of friends, is crucial to maintaining your mental health during times of transition. But more important than that is how you take care of yourself during that time. The most important care during time of life transition is self-care.
