Transitions as you grow older
Each person handles transitions differently. You may seek new ways of doing and thinking on a constant basis. The downside is that you are always in action and may not take the time to think things through before you act. You may need extended and in-depth time and thinking before you start new activities. Again, the downside is that you may suffer ‘analysis paralysis’ where you may never to move to action, until all the facts and consequences of the change are known.
It may be a balancing act for you to move to action, to change direction and take on new experiences. For example, one couple in their mid-50s, an engineer and a lawyer, quit their jobs, sold their home of twenty years and went North. They sought a new, less stressful more meaningful life. They discovered how to live cheaply, yet well and entertained through free or inexpensive services along the way. Eventually they settled in a small coastal town that met their criteria for the good life. The couple balanced action and a thoughtful approach to what they wanted. What are your stories about managing change?
