Life is all about change no matter how much we want things to stay the same. As human beings, we’re wired to stick with what’s comfortable. Change can bring about a lot of stress because we feel as though it interrupts our everyday lives. No matter why things are changing, we need to be able to let go and move on. But if we reframe how we view big transitions, perhaps they won’t be so overwhelming.
