The power of micro-transitions

I first came across the concept of micro-transitions months ago while listening to a podcast episode on my way home from work.

It was a stressful period at work and I found myself carrying tension home and being snappy with my family.

Micro-transitions are the shifts we make between roles and responsibilities.

For example, transitioning from work, where you create or deliver various outputs, to a home environment, where you are a supportive and responsible partner, is an example of a micro-transition.

Needless to say, the episode resonated with me.

I crafted some prompts to help me practice being more intentional during these transitions.

The outcome: while commuting home, I started visualising how my best self would behave when I got home, creating a mental checklist of my first three actions.

By embodying these small actions, I became more present and better aligned with the person I wanted to be.
