RAFT
A friend posted this blog on her facebook page, thanks Christina Gabrysch!
This has really encouraged me to be extra intentional in our preparation for leaving. I would also ask that you, our friends and family do the same and help to hold us accountable. Sometimes it can be weird or awkward or hard to express our feelings or emotions, but it is really so much better!
This is one of the many recommendations about how to have a successful transition:
One of the simplest and most brilliant plans for transitioning well was developed by the late Dr. David Pollock. It’s called building a RAFT (genius). Paying attention to these four areas can mean the difference between success or failure, flopping or thriving, great memories or horrible regrets. Way too much for one blog post but you should Google it (Try “Pollock RAFT”).
Here’s the short version what goes into a RAFT:
Reconciliation: Strained or broken relationships don’t go away when you do. Make it right.
Affirmation: People are dense. Don’t assume they know how much impact they have had on your life. Say it well.
Farewell: Different people need different goodbyes. Think beyond people (places, pets and possessions too).
Think Destination: Even if you’re going “home”, much has changed. Brace yourself. Think forward.
