  • Attending to the transition, noticing the energy and tasks required

  • Various emotions of transition

  • Nature as an intentional place to "escape" to

Tip #1 - any time in nature is valuable

Tip #2 - nature reminds us every thing happens in its time

  • notice the transitions in nature itself to validate your own

  • Widen the lens - notice the steady cycle around the changes all around us
