when speaking with clients, i attend not only to what they say, but how they say it. i observe the process by which s/he works through their concerns. what skills do they have to solve problems, to tolerate emotion, or to be patient as they take this journey?
there is much do to in order to close client files, finish paperwork, and say good-bye to clients. also, applying for medical retirement is an ongoing chore. sometimes, all this feels overwhelming.
yet, to walk this part of the journey, attending to my own process is important. how am i dealing with the stress and anxiety that comes with change? am i staying consistent with my priorities? am i caring for my physical and mental health in effective ways?
practicing the art of 'stepping back' to watch my journey is a vital part of this transition. i am excited and anxious. and i know the road continues on.
