SUMMARY:Practice transitions/ mindfulness before you finish work each day
DESCRIPTION:To aim to bring the best of you back to the home environment.\nI found myself bringing home to work and work to home.\nTransitions are a key part of helping me manage myself better and allowing\nme to shift focus and energy between professional me and Dad me. But what\nare transitions?\nAccording to a dictionary definition; the process or a period of changing from\none state or condition to another.\nAs a concept, it sounds pretty straight forward but in practice, when I look\nat myself, I could see a time where I was hopping between multiple roles\nand not taking the time to consider how I needed to show up. This became\nparticularly apparent during Summer 2020 when we were in lockdown and\nwork was home and home was work. There was zero space to shift my focus\nand from the back of that time I learned that if working from home was to\nbe a lasting element of life moving forwards, I had to create a boundary\nsomewhere at home where work could be work and home could be home.\nI managed to convert part of my garage at the time in to a home office and\nthat simple 3 feet commute to work gave me the break I needed in physical\nspace to allow me to focus better on where I needed to be.\nI appreciate some people may not have the space to physically distance\nthemselves like this but I also practice transitions in the form of a walk around\nthe block, walking to the shops, jumping off the bus a stop earlier or taking\nthat time to grab my coffee before I get to the office.\nLike many things in this book, I am not perfect. But I am practicing. And for me\nthis is all I can expect if I want to be good enough. Transitions are also a great\ntime to keep up a level of fitness (step count!) and focus on some me time\n(listening music, podcasts, books).\nI tend to ask myself,\nHow do I need to show up at this next setting?\nWhat do people expect of me?\nWhat do I need to do?\nHave I resolved everything needed to allow me to be\nthe best I can be in this next setting?\nA powerful tool I think will help greatly.\n
