This will create a win-win situation for you and your employer and help you come up with smart plans at various phases of life.

You need to express your thoughts and feelings when you are going through a change. Do not repress or suppress your emotions. Take things slowly and do one thing at a time. If your thinking has been rigid all the time, you need to learn to adopt new and innovative ways of thinking. Appreciating your accomplishments even if they are small, can help you to manage changes in your life in a much more positive manner.
