Transition is a period of change that is marked from the change in the initial phase
to the new phase.
Ways to manage the transition in life:

1. Remember that life transitions are life processes that will become memories, so
create a good memory.
When facing a change in life, learn to accept the condition as part of a life journey.
Don't let ourselves continue in the denial phase, without the desire to move forward and
accept the situation.
2. The transition of life is not a threat, but a challenge.
Sometimes life's transition isn't something we want, but don't look at it as a threat that
will weaken us. The transition of life is a new challenge that we must face.
3. Life transition can also bring benefits
Rather than giving up on the transition state of life, it's better to see the benefits and the
positive side of the change. If we deal with it, our spirit is indirectly encouraged and
our feelings can change.
4. Remember past successes in the face of a life transition
In the past, maybe we have experienced a life transition, it turns out we can pass it well.
Remember that when we experience a new life transition.
5. Find support from others
Social support from people around you will be very helpful. Share the burden with
them. If you can't find it right away, joining an online community can also help.
6. Prepare to transition it!
There are also life transitions that we can predict beforehand, such as retirement, being
left to marry by a child, or deciding to live abroad for example. Before life's transition
occurs, prepare yourself for it.
