Exit Strategies and New Beginnings

Every ending is a new beginning, and every exit is an entry into something else.

This post idea came from a scary dream I had recently in which I was desperate to find a safe exit strategy from a dangerous situation for myself and one of my nieces.  After I awoke and breathed a sigh of relief that it was only a dream, I thought about how we are all in need, at different times in our lives, for a proper exit strategy–a time to gracefully leave one part of our story behind and step into what’s ahead.

Whether you’re ending a relationship or a chapter or season of life, it’s important to be aware of your need to exit one part of your life and enter the next.  The problem is that exits, endings, and even beginnings are not always easy.     

In today’s video, I break down how and why we get stuck in our efforts to exit certain situations, and how to plan for a successful exit strategy.

I hope that something I said today resonated with you.  For all the reasons I mentioned in the video, it’s clear that change can be hard, but we can do hard things, can’t we!

Here’s to putting on our commencement hats and taking a step into the next part of our journeys.

I’d love to hear from you.  In the comments below, answer this question:

• What’s holding you back from taking your proper exit and getting started on the new beginning that’s waiting for you?
  Fear?  Overwhelm?  Too comfortable where you are? Decision fatigue?

I appreciate you spending time with me here today!

If you have friends, family or co-workers who might be in need of an exit strategy or a re-frame on their understanding of new beginnings, please share this post.
