The transition from one state of being to another rarely seems to be gradual. I don&#8217;t know why\u00a0the transition to something new is usually a shock.<\/p>\n<p>When, during a vacation in Jordan, my relationship disintegrated from one minute to the next, it was such a fierce transition. One moment everything seems\u00a0OK, the next you are in shock, sad, angry, nothing is what it seems and everything is chaos. During my morning meditation, I felt very peaceful and told the universe\u00a0I was ready to\u00a0apply\u00a0the\u00a0new principle that I was reading about;\u00a0to\u00a0consider every pain that comes into your life as a growth opportunity. I even challenged the universe to bring on \u2018the next lesson\u2019. I expected that I would get a little &#8216;test&#8217;.\u00a0Not. It was more intense than I could have ever imagined. A good example of &#8216;don&#8217;t try this at home&#8217;&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>How do you deal with shock, with sudden change, with disappointment, sadness, loss, with the disappearance of everything you thought you were sure of? I have always been a &#8216;survivor&#8217;, so I rebooked my Jordan trip, found a new apartment in\u00a0 Amsterdam and arranged the move. But then? Just continue as I always do? Or acknowledge the pain this time and try to learn from it?<\/p>\n<p>In this inspiration shot, you will find a personal travel blog, some\u00a0books that I find very helpful\u00a0and some other tips and things to know if you are also going through a transition. Whether it is work or private: the more comfortable you feel, the greater the chance that the next step is near, whether you like it or not.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-2 fusion_builder_column_1_1 1_1 fusion-one-full fusion-column-first fusion-column-last\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-3\"><h2>Heartbreak in Jordan<\/h2>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-4\"><p>Do you let something that happens during a\u00a0trip ruin\u00a0that trip?

You need plenty of energy for your transition and the emotions that go with it. Eat well, sleep well, get a massage. Do not fall into the trap of alcohol, drugs, sweets, etc. That will only burden your body more. Plus it numbs your mind, just when you need it. Try to be in the moment instead of following your runaway thoughts. Meditation can help with this. Ask for help if needed. Find a good coach. Talk to friends, sleep, allow yourself to not want or do anything, make room to be alone.<\/p>\n<p>These podcasts help me with the process of letting go and 'looking for the present in the shit' as I always know how to articulate it during my lectures.

Fortunately, as a Digital Nomad, I own very few things (you can see all I own in the photo), but still\u2026 Coincidentally I had just bought a new apartment in Amsterdam to rent out (see my <a href=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/en\/blog\/real-estate-secrets\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/en\/blog\/real-estate-secrets\/\">real estate blog<\/a>), where I can now temporarily keep my stuff, until my 'own' apartments becomes available again in September. It is actually a shame to keep an entire apartment just for my belongings, as\u00a0I will hardly be in the Netherlands in the coming months, but it is good to have a 'base', especially when the rest of your life has been turned\u00a0upside down.<\/p>\n<\/div><div class=\"fusion-clearfix\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><div class=\"fusion-layout-column fusion_builder_column fusion-builder-column-18 fusion_builder_column_1_2 1_2 fusion-one-half fusion-column-first\" style=\"--awb-bg-size:cover;width:50%;width:calc(50% - ( ( 4% ) * 0.5 ) );margin-right: 4%;\"><div class=\"fusion-column-wrapper fusion-column-has-shadow fusion-flex-column-wrapper-legacy\"><div class=\"fusion-text fusion-text-15\"><p>The second half of May I will be in my beloved Mallorca, for the annual <a href=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/en\/writingretreats\/mallorca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" data-cke-saved-href=\"https:\/\/estherjacobs.info\/en\/writingretreats\/mallorca\/\">writing week<\/a> that I hold there.
