Ever feel like you’re doing everything—yet missing what matters most? You crushed your workout, nailed the pitch deck, hit deadlines, and chauffeured the kids. But when you finally walk in the door, your mind is still stuck on the two things you didn’t finish at work. The result? You’re at the dinner table, but not really there.
Why You Need a Transition Routine
High performers often struggle to switch gears. Without a deliberate reset, work stress bleeds into family time, and home stress leaks back into work. The consequence isn’t just stress—it’s missed conversations, lost connection, and regret.
The Science of Resetting
Your nervous system needs a signal that one part of the day is over and the next is beginning. Just like warming up before a workout, a transition routine calms your system and clears mental clutter. It’s not about more discipline; it’s about creating a rhythm that allows you to show up where it counts.
How to Do It in 2 Minutes
Here’s the simple framework we teach our clients:
- Finish what you’re doing. Don’t carry it with you.
- Stay put, close your eyes. Create stillness.
- Breathe 10 times with a 2s inhale, 4s exhale.
- Anchor with a mantra. Example: “Work is done. I am home.”
In less than 120 seconds, you shift from scattered to centered—ready for what’s next.
Your presence is your present. Don’t let it go unwrapped.
Your Next EASIEST Step:
Today, before walking into the house—or your next meeting—try the 2-minute transition routine. Test it once, feel the reset, and notice how much more present you are with the people who matter.
