Stagnation and Transitions: Your Greatest Enemy or Your Secret Weapon?

Transitions in life can sometimes be tougher than being within an emotional and stagnant stage. At least with the stagnant stage, you know what’s to come. You know what to expect emotionally and even physically. Sometimes you have the actions memorized or calculated and you gain a sense of safety.

Transitions offer mystery, new pathways, and the unknown. Your feet are walking a path it is not accustomed to. Even the greatest earthbender, Toph, who is blind, has had moments where she could not feel or “see” what’s in front of her. So, she had to adjust, and trust herself and others around her, to get her through. 

With life transitions, you see the unknown and become intimidated. This is where you’ve probably paused and stared at the path you wish to be on. Or you’ve turned around altogether and continued your life as if you were never shown this life-changing opportunity. Of course, there’s understanding there. There’s comfort, familiarity, and safety. But, there is also a sense of unhappiness, sadness, stagnation, and vagueness. This soon leads to depression, anger, and anxiety which then leads to physical discomfort.

The transition does offer the unknown and mystery, but this leads to exploring, loving, and establishing the self. That then leads to happiness, flow, understanding, and clarity. You’ll then experience changes within you emotionally and physically. Transitions and healing are not just rainbows and butterflies, I think that is why most avoid it. I can say, that it is worth it. You are worth it. 

Just as Toph is surrounded by help, so are you. Yes, yes I am using an Avatar the Last Airbender reference.

Look around you, find the people or things you can count on. If you do not have them, start collecting therapists, social clubs, mentors, etc.

Psychic Art Readings

I am also here to offer help and understanding with my shamanic readings, Psychic Art Readings, or just a chat. During a transition, things are unknown and the shamanic readings and art readings provide a light down the path. This light can offer clarity, guidance, and understanding.
