Psychological liminal spaces are more transitions in life or shifts in how we think. The human mind craves predictability, consistency and normality. Evolution has taught us (and continues to) to avoid anything that is uncertain to us. And uncertainty can be extremely overwhelming, even paralyzing, in certain scenarios. But, again, as we are humans, we are hardwired to overcome obstacles, so the same can be transformative and valuable.
As you might have figured out already, liminal spaces are something you can get out of naturally. But there are ways to make it easier or quicker (or both).
View being stuck as a challenge, with a “why not?” mentality instead of “what if?” Focusing on the positive will help us avoid catastrophizing a situation, and it will come out as a healthy challenge that will make you better as a human being.
Other approaches include learning to meditate, practicing acceptance, being present, focus on the things you can control and not the ones you can’t, and more, all to get used to and cope with being in a liminal space. And if that doesn’t go well, remember that you deserve to be happy and that seeking help is never a bad idea.
