Navigating life transitions

Some changes happen to us. Others begin when we admit we want something different.

Mindfulness helps us notice our thoughts, feelings, and automatic reactions. Choicefulness takes that awareness into everyday life, so we can pause and choose how we respond.

A little room

Coping with major life changes

A diagnosis, an empty nest, or the end of a long marriage can change what a day looks like. I invite you to make room for how you feel before asking what comes next. You don’t have to feel calm to begin to notice what’s here.

When your body is changing, it can be hard to know what you need. I teach meditation as a way to notice your experience, even when it feels messy. You can begin with a few quiet moments and meet what you find with care.

Dealing with change in life

When you’re caring for someone else, your own needs can get lost in the day. I come back to the pause: what do you feel, and what do you need? Rest, a clear boundary, or one small choice may be where you begin.

Questions

A few things you may wonder

How to deal with life changes?

I’d begin by noticing what has changed and how you feel about it. You don’t have to push those feelings away to take a next step. Give yourself a pause to hear what you need.

How to cope with change?

I come back to short moments of awareness. Notice your seat, your feet, and the breath moving in and out. Then ask yourself what the next right step might be.

How to deal with change in life?

I invite you to notice when an old habit is choosing your response for you. A pause gives you room to ask whether that response still fits. This is where my practice of choicefulness begins.

Does meditation help with grief?

I approach meditation as a way to be with what you feel, rather than ask grief to go away. You can make space for sadness, love, or whatever is here today. There’s no need to force yourself to feel calm.
