Transition is rarely easy but it helps to have a positive mindset and determination. I sometimes journal or repeat affirmations that keep me grounded. Sometimes, I have candid conversations with myself to remind myself that just because others aren’t quick to see my value doesn’t mean it’s not there. Patience, faith and grace. Weathering the storm…one day at a time. :>)
Lynn,
