But there are things we can do to make adjusting to a new routine a little easier:
Ease into it
Some level of continuity helps make us feel some comfort amid change - that our identity, at the core, is still there. Keep consistancy within some parts of your schedule to stay focused and feel on track. Don't try to jump into too many new things all at once.
Check in with yourself
It's important to focus on your mental health before, during and after any transition. Daily practices like meditation other grounding exercises can help you feel in tune with your mind and body. Another easy grounding exercise can be focusing on gratitude, either mentally or in a journal. Emphazie self care within your day to day life.
Get ready to be uncomfortable
No matter how necessary a change is, the transition to it can be the hardest part. Give yourself credit throughout the process.No level of easing into a new routine will make that discomfort completely go away. Embrace the mess, if you can. Make sure you don't bite off more than you can chew, but know that you're capable of working through the change.
Seek help if you need it
You don't have to adjust to a new routine alone. Take the time to reach out to friends and family. If they're not going through it right now, chances are they've been there before.
