So I woke up to a morning where the sun was shining through my window, the air was clear and it felt as any other summer day in Woodland Hills CA. I stretched, smiled and thought: “It’s a beautiful summer day.” The month was October. Not only that, but this day that turned out to be a week of over 100 degrees followed a 3 days & nights stormy weather of below 50 degrees. So what is going on? What does nature signaling us? Why in these extreme changes do we feel confused, fatigue, and stuck? The answer is transitions. Having a very trained and curious linguistic mind I wanted to find the dictionary definition to transition.

1. movement, passage, or change from one position, state, stage, subject, concept, etc., to another; change: the transition from adolescence to adulthood.

2. Music.
a. a passing from one key to another; modulation.

b. a brief modulation; a modulation used in passing.

c. a sudden, unprepared modulation.

What really caught my eye was the last definition: “a sudden, unprepared modulation.”

Transition periods are life’s feedback system confirming our movement. Prior to our creation we transition from being a thought, a dream, a longing, or even an unplanned consequence of our parents to a cell, and then an embryo, a baby. Evolution transitions us to move from the environment of our mother’s womb to the overwhelming sensorial environment of our world. Throughout life we keep transitioning from infancy to childhood, to adulthood, to elderly. The cycle of life is made of transitions. Looking at our mother Earth, nature, and the animal kingdom we can easily detect that everything and everyone are subjects to cycles that transition everything from one stage to another. The weather transitions from season to season, our history, our economy, our ideas, even world ages. Often times, transition periods are “sudden, unprepared” and are times of confusion, unpredictability, and may enhance negative emotions that seem unrealistic to the situation and can make the person feel lost, hopeless, and stuck. The reason for that is that whenever we transition either in our personal journey as a being or as part of the global family, the neurology we have that defines who we are is used and familiar to a certain environment and a certain reality. When a change in the environment occurs, the existing neurology consisting of beliefs, values and perception no longer works and it seems like whatever it is we used to be or do doesn’t produce the expected results. In this period, if we are not adapting our neurology, we are basically lacking a new neurology that works within the new environment. Therefore the expression of “ I feel like I’m losing my mind” is not too far from actuality. In the process of transition we rather LET GO of the old mind (“losing” it will give suggestion to your unconscious mind to “look” for it again), create a new mind using the tools of NLP, which is, to my belief, not only is an intelligent choice to good life, but rather our responsible, ecological choice that produces a living environment that is serving the self, others, society, and the planet.

Live, love, and forever grow.
