Most of us have experienced plenty of endings in our lives. Sometimes they were situations and relationships that we were glad to be rid of, and sometimes . . . not so much.
Either way, endings hurt. With them comes a feeling of loss, emptiness and aimlessness that leads us to ask, “What now?”
As painful and sad as endings might be, they ALWAYS come with an opportunity for a fresh start. The closing of one door causes more to open.
I think the key to getting through the transition is to focus on the good stuff. Endings themselves are usually unpleasant – and sometimes downright devastating. But if you can keep a bit of perspective by focusing on the more positive aspects, you can prevent it from turning everything to mud.
If you’ve found yourself standing at the brink between an ending and a new begining, here are 3 simple tips to help you bridge the gap:
1) Remember the good times. Whatever situation just ended for you, there are undoubtedly some happy memories you can recall that will ease the sting. Focusing on the good stuff won’t take away the pain necessarily, but it will help balance it somewhat so that not *everything* is bad.
2) Be grateful for what this situation contributed to your life. Perhaps you learned a lot about yourself, you overcame fears and insecurities, you learned how to stand up for yourself – whatever it is, keep it in the forefront of your mind. What you’ve gone through had a reason, if none other than to serve as a powerful lesson for you.
3) Consciously open yourself to something better. As heartbreaking as some endings can be, we often make the pain worse by believing that it’s “all over.” We’ll never love again, never have such a great job again, never feel happy again. This fatalistic view is pretty common when we’re in the midst of a loss. With time comes a wider perspective and we begin to realize that we are surrounded by limitless opportunities to create more for ourselves. We realize that as much as we didn’t want to lose what we had, it was holding us back in some way. Acknowledge that you can create something better in its place.
Turn your face to the sun and allow healing to flood your heart and soul. Remember that every ending is merely the back side of another step forward on your path.
