Thriving in transition
Moving with intention
It is easy to get overwhelmed when you are moving again.
Yes, it is important to acknowledge what you are losing and saying goodbye to. However, don’t forget to have a look at all the beauty, skills and unique experiences you are bringing with you.
This painting reminds you to take time to recognise and be grateful for the cultural diversity and beauty that is within you.

Exploring with authenticity
When you have moved often you may find it challenging to explain where you come from. Your story may feel too complicated to share with new people you meet.
You don’t need to share your full story in every situation. However remember to persevere in finding the people who you can be authentic with and tell your story to.
This painting reminds you to remain true to yourself wherever you are.

Stepping forward with hope
You may think that you can’t settle down. You constantly look for the next adventure. You dream about what it would be like to live somewhere else.
However, it is not always beneficial to keep uprooting yourself and to keep starting again. Before you initiate a big change, take some time to reflect on why you want to move again. Are there any steps you can take to feel more grounded where you are right now?
This painting reminds you to accept where you are right now and to take small steps towards where you want to be.
