Does life feel different than what was imagined, as if the best of oneself has been given away and little remains? Do feelings of anger, frustration, sadness, or irritation surface when thinking about the future, and does it sometimes seem like time is running out to discover purpose? It is common to appear “all together” on the outside while struggling to stay intact inside, to stop dreaming or to settle for circumstances that feel limiting. Those challenging seasons do not have to define the next chapter – it is possible to choose how the coming phase looks and how one manages emotionally and mentally.
