Someone very dear to me is going through big life changes right now, and I'm getting an up-close chance to see how difficult it is to make life decisions in an unfamiliar set of circumstances. There's almost no way to be "expert" or secure in your choices when you're changing so many things at once.
What I'm learning from all of this is how important it is to continue to try new things throughout your life. If you've practiced challenging your patterns all along, you will be much more confident when big changes are "forced" on you.But even if your creative brain is functioning well, you're probably still going to face a sense of unreality and insecurity. So when that happens, use your actively creative process to figure out how to reduce your stress. If you're just scared, what would soothe you? If you have concrete questions, how can you get them answered?
As long as you keep moving forward, you will pass through the stress and out the other side. Use your creative imagination to envision that day, and you'll have optimism to draw on during the diffucult patches.
