Therapist Approved Transitions

 


We live in a world where it feels like we’re not allowed to slow down.

Do you remember commercial breaks, waiting for a show to come back on, or scrolling, not even being an option?

We didn’t realize it then, but those moments forced us to pause.
They gave our minds a chance to rest and reconnect with the present. 🌿

Now, every quiet moment gets filled with noise, notifications, tasks, constant input, and our nervous systems never really get to exhale.

That’s why transitions matter. They’re not wasted time; they’re how we regulate, reset, and return to ourselves.

Here are a few therapist-approved transitions to bring back into your day:
☀️ Morning Pause — start your day in stillness before the world starts talking.
💧 Reset Rituals — wash your hands, light a candle, or change clothes to mark a shift.
🌿 Pausing in Conversation — breathe before you respond; it builds connection and calm.
📱 Turning Off Notifications — give your brain space to focus and your body permission to relax.
☁️ Stepping Outside — a minute of fresh air can reset your whole nervous system.
🕰 Unscheduled Time — give yourself space to exist without producing or performing.

You don’t need more time, just more present moments.
Your body will thank you for the pause. 💛
