Navigating life transitions

This article is written by our partners at Vita Health

Life is full of transitions. From starting a new job, moving to a different city, to celebrating major milestones like becoming a parent or retiring, change is a constant companion throughout life.

While transitions can be exciting, they can also be difficult to navigate – leaving us feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or uncertain about the future. This World Mental Health Day (Oct 10th), let’s take a moment to recognise how life transitions affect our wellbeing and explore strategies to navigate them with resilience and self compassion.

Finding meaning in change

While transitions can be challenging, they also offer opportunities for growth. Reflecting on your values and priorities during periods of change can provide insight into what truly matters. Sometimes, these moments push us to explore new strengths, discover hidden passions, or deepen connections with others. By approaching transitions as a learning experience rather than solely as a disruption, we can foster resilience and personal development.
