You have to engage with transition and that can be hard sometimes, because we are kind of on our back foot. We’re a little off balance. We’re a little worried. We’re a little fearful. We’re a little down. I, myself, I freely admit, I can be a bit depressive at times and I have to watch that. I have to recognize when I’m feeling that thing come on and use various methods of dealing with that. It’s a very common response to challenges in our life, especially job transitions and you do have to be aware of that. It’s not something to ignore. It’s not something to feel embarrassed about, either.
