Embracing Change 🤩 💪

So I wanted to share the biggest lessons from my latest transition.

After 17 long years, I bid farewell to my trusty clinic space... 👋

I packed up the things I cherished, sold off what I could, and decluttered like a pro. 🧹 📦 📚

Then came the exciting part—finding a new space to work in.

Think house hunting, but for work. It was daunting, nerve-wracking and exciting at the same time! 🫠 🎉

Of course, finding the new space was just the beginning...

Next came the challenge of actually figuring out how to function in this fresh environment. 🤷‍♀️

Let's just say, there have been a few "Where did I put that?" moments.

Now, in the past, I've been guilty of not giving myself enough time to adjust. I'd dive right in, barely giving myself a chance to catch my breath. But that approach didn't quite do wonders for my well-being.

Lesson learned! 🤦‍♀️

This time around, I decided to take a different route.

I gave myself the gift of time - time to find the right location, time to set it up just the way I like, and time to ease into the new routine.

To make this transition smoother I took some concrete steps.

👉 I cleared my calendar. No overwhelming myself with an avalanche of tasks! My top priority was the transition itself.

👉 I made it a habit to check in with myself daily, making sure I wasn't neglecting my own needs.

✨ Sleep? Absolutely.
✨ Exercise? A definite non-negotiable.
✨ Eating well? Yes

But you know what else?

👉 I allowed myself to feel all the feelings. The excitement, the uncertainty, and even the occasional "Am I doing the right thing?" moments.

It’s all part of making a big change that your body and mind need to go through. 💖

So next time life throws a major curveball your way - a new workplace, a fresh role, or even moving house - remember to give yourself the time to absorb it all.

Embrace those feelings and give yourself permission to go slow.

And while you're at it, make your mental and physical health a priority. Trust me, it's the secret sauce to a smoother transition and a happier you. 🤩
