As humans, we have the ability to adapt to different circumstances, but these processes need a transition.
In this episode, Susan and CrisMarie dive deep into what a transition is, how we can make them better and how they are a benefit to digest experiences. Transitions matter and it is important that we have time to process what is going on around us. They often help us navigate from one situation to another and embracing them, shows compassion to ourselves and to others. This is key when making transitions.
There is no right or wrong way to go through transitions, keep that in mind. You will need time to digest the experiences you have during the day.

Key Take-Aways
Transition is an internal process of reorienting from one way to another.
William Bridges defines transitions as a three-stage process: grief, the neutral zone, and the new beginning.
For some people, the time they spent commuting or in the midst of traffic before the pandemic, was a transition between home and work.
When changing fast to a new situation, there may be a chance that the body isn’t understanding what is going on.
Focusing on your breath helps you to be present and grounded.
Humanity needs those opening and closing ceremonies as transitions.
“It's not what you do, is what you do next.” - Susan
Remember Bridges’ acronym: CUSP (Control, Understanding, Support, Purpose)
