Why Life Transitions Can Feel Overwhelming (and What You Can Do About It)

Life transitions like starting college, changing careers, entering retirement, or adjusting to marriage or divorce are a natural part of life. But just because change is normal doesn’t mean it’s easy.

Transitions often bring uncertainty. You may question your identity, your role, or your next steps. That uncertainty can create stress, anxiety, or even physical symptoms like poor sleep and fatigue.

The good news is that feeling unsettled during change isn’t weakness. It’s human. What matters is having the right tools to navigate the circumstances you find yourself in.

Skill to Try: the 5-minute Reset

• Sit in a quiet space and reflect.

• Write down one thing that feels uncertain and one step you can take today.

• Remember one strength or skill you’ve used successfully in past transitions.
