Transition to Home 

 

Transition Practice

  1. Preparation: Turn off your phone. Breathe deeply and notice any tension in your muscles and joints. Rotate your shoulders and gently stretch your neck. Check-in with your feelings, observing without judgment.

  2. Mindfulness: Observe your thoughts—their volume, speed, and nature. Take several deep breaths, followed by forceful exhales through the mouth. Allow your breathing to find a natural rhythm.

  3. Movement: With your phone still off, walk to your car. Notice the physical sensations as you move. Breathe in the outside air, noting how it feels, smells, and tastes.

  4. Intention: Upon arriving at your vehicle, you may turn on your phone. Set your intention for how you want to show up at home or your destination. Choose one word to define your intention. Safely commute home, maintaining awareness of your intention.

Reflection Questions:

 

  • As you transitioned from work to home, what physical sensations or emotions did you notice in your body? Were there areas of tension or relaxation?

 

  • How did focusing on your breathing and physical movement during the transition impact your mindset as you prepared to step into your home or next space?

 

  • What intention did you set for how you wanted to show up at home, and how can you carry this intention into your interactions with loved ones or in your personal time?
