Transitions are one of the toughest things both in life and on the yoga mat, but not necessarily for the reasons you might think.
This is the first episode in a 2-part series on making transitions effortless. We are constantly being faced with transitions, from the everyday moments like getting the kids out the door in the morning or moving through the highs and lows in your personal cycle, to the larger life experiences like retirement, having kids, marriage or menopause. And although transitions are necessary, they are one of the things that can make life feel more challenging than it has to be.
In this episode, I talk you through the real reason transitions can feel heavy and take you through a visualization to help you identify the process that happens when you are going through a transition.

Cathy (00:01):
Transitions are one of the toughest things in both life
and on the yoga mat.
But not necessarily for thereasons you might think.
(01:12):
Hey friends.
Welcome back to episode.
Hey friends.
Welcome to episode 68 of thepodcast.
Today, we are talking all abouthow to make transitions
effortless.
Now a few episodes back, Italked about transitions and how
sometimes we just have to allowthe itchiness and the challenges
(01:33):
that come along with them.
But I also mentioned that thereis a way to make them more
effortless with the idea in mindthat we can essentially.
Train ourselves to moveeffortlessly through things with
practice.
We can begin to cultivatepositive habits.
(01:57):
That allow us to regulatefollowing the transition or
leading up to the transition.
So that after we've movedthrough it, we're better able
to, um, adapt, I guess, or bemore resilient.
So before we get into theepisode.
(02:17):
This time of year in theMidwest, at least.
Is when people really start toget antsy for spring.
We have a few nice days here andthere, but, um, it still has the
potential for having a majorsnow storm or a major cold snap.
And noticeably, even though thedays are now getting longer.
(02:41):
With more sunlight that is.
It's almost like spring can't.
Come soon enough people start toget a little cranky.
People start to get a little outof sorts and forget the
intentionality in life or thatwe could potentially have in
life.
This is the time of year alsothat I even have to remind
(03:03):
myself to start being moreintentional about being
intentional.
And because we had a new moonthis week, it's a great time to
revisit intention setting as awhole.
Now intention setting issomething to do either with the
new moon each month or with thestart of your menstrual cycle.
I kind of leave that up to you.
I kind of go back and forth, tobe honest, I don't know that
there is a right or a wrong waynow you're really using the meat
(03:25):
moon's energy if you do it withthe moon, but you're using your
own energy when you setintentions at the start of your
menstrual cycle.
So I do a little bit of acombination.
And if you want to know moreabout that, I will link to the
intention setting episode in theshow notes as well.
So you can have that.
But in the meantime, Intentionsetting in general and doing it
(03:46):
regularly, whether that's daily,weekly, or monthly, or even
annually, even it's a great wayto refocus and to get back on
track with living, how you wantto be living so that you aren't
always feeling like you're onthe verge of complete exhaustion
or burnout.
You can use your time, energyand focus to work to your
advantage instead.
(04:08):
So I'm going to link to theintention setting worksheet that
I use each month.
In the show notes so that youhave it as well.
It's a great time to just kindof do a little bit of a reset to
reassess where you are.
Um, As we get closer to springand get closer to the end of
March when that lovely newseason arrives.
(04:32):
But today.
We are talking all abouttransitions.
Transitions.
Often can throw people off.
And yet we're moving throughtransitions.
All the time.
All the time friends.
When we transition.
From.
Home to work.
(04:53):
Work back to home.
It's a transition.
When you get out of bed, it's atransition.
We went through all of that andthe different kinds of
transitions.
And how sometimes they're justyucky and sometimes you just
have to allow them in episode 63of the podcast.
But here's the kicker.
They don't always have to.
It is possible to make them seemeffortless.
(05:15):
Depending of course, on what thetransition is now.
There's always going to be thosebig transitions that maybe are a
little bit more challenging.
But some of the day-to-daytransitions that, um, create a
little bit of anxiety, evenunconscious anxiety in your
body.
There is a way to train yourselfand to work through them so that
(05:36):
they are a little bit moreeffortless.
Transitions can bring up a lotof anxiety or unease for people.
Depending on what the transitionis.
It can have a whole host ofother emotions associated with
it.
For one.
All transitions mean that youare letting go of one way of
doing things.
And you're taking on a new wayto do things.
(05:59):
And I recently learned that it'snot so much the fear associated
with the transition as much asit is the grief of letting go of
the old that happens around thetransitions.
I'm going to say that again.
It's not so much the fearassociated with the transition
(06:21):
or the transition itself as youmove through it, as much as it
is the grief of letting go ofthe old it's the loss.
People don't resist change, theyresist loss.
It's the grief of not havingsomething you once had or the
(06:43):
thought of not having it, thatimpacts you so much more than
the actual change itself.
So being able to adapt aftertransitions in terms of the loss
you've experienced or that youwill experience is what makes
transitions tricky.
Some may call this adaptability,resilience.
(07:03):
When I think of this in theseason of life that I'm in right
now with a three-year-old.
It could even be the smallestsense of loss, like moving from
being in the comfort of our ownhome to leaving the house for
something new, whether that'sdaycare or school or some other
trip that we are, are taking, nomatter how big or small it is.
(07:27):
Even if she's super familiarwith it.
The transition of saying goodbyeto home.
Saying goodbye to the comfort ofbeing in her own home.
Is what's the challenge.
It's not the new thing.
That's necessarily the challengebecause she could be super
excited about it, but stillgetting out the door and going
(07:47):
through the uncomfortableness ofhaving to like, make sure we
have everything, make sure she'sdone everything.
That's where the loss comes in.
She's moving from somethingthat's comfortable into
something that is uncomfortablein a sense.
It's not that the new thing isnecessarily challenging.
It's that I'm asking her to letgo of something that she's
(08:10):
comfortable with.
And to do something else.
I can think of that when we'rewalking out the door and also
maybe even getting dressed inthe morning.
Getting a three-year-old out ofthe jammies that they've been in
to just put different clothes onfor the day.
Is a transition, but thosejammies are comfortable.
The clothes.
Yeah.
They're probably going to becomfortable once.
(08:32):
Eventually we get them on.
But it's like the loss that'sgoing to happen because she's
got to get out of this comfortzone.
And into something else.
Are you following?
My acquaintance, Katie Rossler.
Who I interviewed in episode 36of the podcast, all about
communicating and connection.
Um, has a book on grief and shesays that.
(08:56):
Grief is us growing into ourgreater self by letting go of
the past, letting go of thethings that are no longer here.
And that's exactly what atransition is.
No matter how big or small it'sletting go of one way of doing
things and inviting a new way.
(09:16):
You can begin to train yourself,just like with any habit to make
transitions a bit moreeffortless.
In order to begin this process,we're going to move through a
bit of a visualization today.
So if you can stop whateveryou're doing, sit in a
comfortable place, close youreyes, and just listen, as I
(09:36):
guide you through thisvisualization.
What I want you to do right nowis to think of a transition that
you've gone through in yourlife, or even something you've
learned in the past or thatyou're learning right now.
Maybe that's like, you'relearning a new skill.
Avoid bringing to mind aone-time transition.
(10:00):
Like retirement or menopause andinstead think of a transition
that you've gone throughnumerous times or could
potentially go through more thanonce.
Maybe something like getting thekids ready for school or out the
door or a drive to a newworkplace or a gym creating that
habit.
Uh, maybe it's moving.
(10:21):
Maybe it is.
Learning something new, like ayoga practice or an instrument
or knitting or pickleball.
Remember a transition thatyou've had in your life.
One that you've made maybe morethan once.
Remember how you felt at thevery beginning of that
transition.
When you first set out to dosomething differently.
(10:46):
Notice the feelings or emotionsthat you had, or that might even
come up now as you're recallingthat time in your life.
You've set the intention to dosomething a little bit
differently or to move from oneplace to the next, to get from
(11:07):
one space to the next in yourlife.
Remember how you felt at thevery beginning, maybe it was
excitement.
Maybe there was a little senseof unease.
Maybe there was fear.
(11:27):
Maybe there was worry.
Just remember how you felt atthe very beginning and notice
what's coming up in your body.
Then fast forward a little bit.
Into the transition.
(11:48):
Begin to remember how it feltshortly after you began the
transition.
How did you feel?
You might've felt uncomfortableor clunky, especially if you
were learning something new.
Maybe you even felt like youwere never going to pick it up.
(12:10):
And at some point you likely hadthe thought that you just wanted
to hurry up and know all youneeded to know or.
Wish that you were just goodenough at the skill to remember
how to do it.
I get this a lot when I'mteaching people their own.
Yoga sequence.
Or maybe you even had thethought that.
(12:30):
You just wanted to hurry up andbe done with it.
Hurry up and be on the otherside of it.
Maybe.
You had the thought that youjust wanted to be good enough to
just begin refining it a littlebit.
(12:50):
Remember that time in thetransition.
Remember that time in the newthing in your life?
All right.
So we get in that kind of first.
Clunky phase.
The challenging phase.
And now consider the part of thetransition.
(13:12):
In which things started tobecome a bit easier.
The place where you realizedyou'd done this before.
And you could make it throughit.
You may be, even at this pointstarted refining the way that
you do it.
For instance, getting the kidsready for school or out the
(13:34):
door.
There's this hope thateventually comes.
That it's going to be secondnature at some point.
You can begin to see theclearing.
They start to get themselvesready and it's less work for you
to nudge them.
Out the door or to nudge them todo the things that they need to
do in the morning.
(13:57):
Or perhaps if it's that drive toa new workplace or a new, uh,
gym.
Eventually.
It becomes this quest to findthe fastest way or the way with
the least amount of stop signsor turns.
You start to look for ways tomake things more efficient.
(14:21):
Or if it's learning a new skill.
Perhaps it's that finally thingsjust feel like they're clicking.
And a side note, I'm learning toplay guitar right now.
And I have felt like this somuch.
I will also say that I'm not thegreatest guitar student.
I don't practice nearly as muchas I.
(14:42):
Would like.
But it's not a huge priority forme right now.
But a couple of weeks ago.
My fingers just started knowingwhere they needed to go.
And it was a beautiful thing.
It's like my muscles startedremembering and my brain and
muscles started connecting.
(15:03):
Remember the progression ofsteps that it took you.
To move through your owntransition.
There may be some key milestonesor points that really stand out
to you.
Some things that you achieved oraccomplished that helped you
remember that you were makingprogress helped you remember
(15:25):
that things were indeed.
Getting a little bit easier andyou were letting go of the old
way of doing things.
Now bring to mind the version ofyou after you made the
transition.
No matter how many times youmade it, bring to mind that
(15:47):
version of you after.
You made the transition.
See yourself on the other sideof the transition.
What are you now able to do?
How does being on the other sideof the transition change, who
you are?
Were you successful if you werelearning something new or did
(16:10):
you release the notion of youlearning that new skill or
growing in that way at this timein your life?
What can or can't you do?
And what did you learn aboutyourself in the process?
Some transitions, we go throughdaily.
(16:31):
You don't need to give that muchthought to in part, because they
are things that we do everysingle day and have become
effortless.
But on the other hand, Maybeit's some of those transitions
that do need those questionsasked because perhaps the
transitions are so effortlessthat complacency sets in and
you're not actually achievingthe outcome you want.
(16:53):
So there's a fine balancebetween something becoming
effortless when intention isstill attached to it.
And effortless when complacencysets in.
And that's part of what makes upyour edge in any given thing.
But more on that in anotherepisode.
(17:13):
We've talked today about howtransitioning has these
different steps or differentphases that we move through in
order to get from one place inlife.
To the next, even if it's not aphysical place.
To be on one side of somethingand to get to the other side of
it.
(17:33):
Now I don't have any scientific,actual steps for you, but I want
you to just bring to yourawareness that there is this
process that we go through inorder to get from one thing to
the next.
Whether that is getting out thedoor in the morning with a
toddler.
Or whether it is learning a newskill.
(17:55):
Every transition has a process.
And the hope is that eventuallythe transition can become more
effortless and that we can getbeyond the grief or the loss of
what it is, we're letting go of,so that we can live.
Indeed with more health, harmonyand happiness on the other side
(18:18):
of that transition.
The idea is that we're notalways living in transition.
But that we can transition andbe resilient enough, adaptable
enough to move on withoutcarrying the baggage of grief
without carrying the baggage ofloss.
(18:39):
So next week, I'm going to sharewith you three key things that
need to be included to makeeffortless transitions.
If you liked what you heardtoday.
I would be so grateful if youshared this with just one other
person, you can do that byscreenshotting it and posting it
to your stories, or even bysimply sending the link to
(18:59):
someone via text message email.
However you want to communicatewith them.
I would love it.
If you shared this episode.
And until next week I'm CathyStruecker and you've been
listening to health harmony andhappiness with Cathy.
Cheers to cultivating your ownversion of health harmony and
happiness in your life.
Transitions are one of the toughest things in both life
and on the yoga mat.

(13:57):
Or perhaps if it's that drive toa new workplace or a new, uh,

Eventually.
It becomes this quest to findthe fastest way or the way with
the least amount of stop signsor turns.
You start to look for ways tomake things more efficient.
(14:21):
Or if it's learning a new skill.
Perhaps it's that finally thingsjust feel like they're clicking.
And a side note, I'm learning toplay guitar right now.
And I have felt like this somuch.
I will also say that I'm not thegreatest guitar student.
I don't practice nearly as muchas I.
(14:42):
Would like.
But it's not a huge priority forme right now.
But a couple of weeks ago.
My fingers just started knowingwhere they needed to go.
And it was a beautiful thing.
It's like my muscles startedremembering and my brain and
muscles started connecting.
(15:03):
Remember the progression ofsteps that it took you.
To move through your owntransition.
There may be some key milestonesor points that really stand out
to you.
Some things that you achieved oraccomplished that helped you
remember that you were makingprogress helped you remember
(15:25):
that things were indeed.
Getting a little bit easier andyou were letting go of the old
way of doing things.
Now bring to mind the version ofyou after you made the
transition.
No matter how many times youmade it, bring to mind that
(15:47):
version of you after.
You made the transition.
See yourself on the other sideof the transition.
What are you now able to do?
How does being on the other sideof the transition change, who
you are?
Were you successful if you werelearning something new or did
(16:10):
you release the notion of youlearning that new skill or
growing in that way at this timein your life?
What can or can't you do?
And what did you learn aboutyourself in the process?
Some transitions, we go throughdaily.
(16:31):
You don't need to give that muchthought to in part, because they
are things that we do everysingle day and have become
effortless.
But on the other hand, Maybeit's some of those transitions
that do need those questionsasked because perhaps the
transitions are so effortlessthat complacency sets in and
you're not actually achievingthe outcome you want.
(16:53):
So there's a fine balancebetween something becoming
effortless when intention isstill attached to it.
And effortless when complacencysets in.
And that's part of what makes upyour edge in any given thing.
But more on that in anotherepisode.
(17:13):
We've talked today about howtransitioning has these
different steps or differentphases that we move through in
order to get from one place inlife.
To the next, even if it's not aphysical place.
To be on one side of somethingand to get to the other side of
it.
(17:33):
Now I don't have any scientific,actual steps for you, but I want
you to just bring to yourawareness that there is this
process that we go through inorder to get from one thing to
the next.
Whether that is getting out thedoor in the morning with a
toddler.
Or whether it is learning a newskill.
(17:55):
Every transition has a process.
And the hope is that eventuallythe transition can become more
effortless and that we can getbeyond the grief or the loss of
what it is, we're letting go of,so that we can live.
Indeed with more health, harmonyand happiness on the other side
(18:18):
of that transition.
The idea is that we're notalways living in transition.
But that we can transition andbe resilient enough, adaptable
enough to move on withoutcarrying the baggage of grief
without carrying the baggage ofloss.
(18:39):
