Arrow Transitions...Could use some help

Hey all,

I have a big change in lifestyle coming up and I'm a bit scared! was wondering what could be done to prepare emotionally for the change.

To give context:
in about a month an a half I am quitting my job of 3 years (first "real" job) and spending the summer without a traditional job or with a part time job if funds require. After that I'm going to grad school for writing.

On paper it doesn't seem like that big of a change, but I'll have different finances, a different time schedule and different people in (or out of) my life. I tend to take change pretty hard, so I'd really like to prepare for this.

Given your life experiences with great changes, is there any advice you can give on how to be prepare and "ease into" the change(s)?

I know i need to review my finances but have found the budgets per say are counterproductive. I know I need to plan how I will spend my (now free) time, and plan in social events (as I currently experience much of my social life at work). Anything else along these lines? Or what about just basic stress coping tips? I generally take a lot of baths when I'm stressed
