Why transitions (always) suck—and what you can do about it | Plan B Nation

Why transitions (always) suck—and what you can do about it | Plan B Nation | Buffy Hamilton's Unquiet Commonplace "Book" | Scoop.it

"Scan­ning over my recent post about tran­si­tions, it struck me that I glossed over one key fact: Tran­si­tions always suck.

That lost, con­fused, hope­less feel­ing that seems like it will never end? No, it’s not just you. It’s the nature of the beast.

How do I know this? Well for one thing, I’ve been through a lot of tran­si­tions, and it was ever thus. For another, I’ve read a ton about tran­si­tions, and every­one seems to agree.

Those who study and write about tran­si­tions even have their own names for this uniquely unset­tling phase: Change guru William Bridges describes it as “the Neu­tral Zone.” Life coach Martha Beck calls it “Death and Rebirth.” Nov­el­ist and jour­nal­ist Sara David­son refers to it as “the Narrows.”

But while the names may be dif­fer­ent, the core feel­ings are the same: Dis­ori­en­ta­tion, anx­i­ety, fear. Panic and desperation.

Fun, isn’t it?..."
