Welcome to the Before Breakfast Podcast.

Today's tip is an unexpected lesson from Mr. Rogers neighborhood.

Use a transition ritual to get yourself ready for what's next. Now obviously we all love Mr

Rogers the children's television actor for what he taught us about kindness and

managing our emotions, things we all need in these anxious times.

But we can learn a thing or two from him about making intentional transitions too.

The opening sequence helped young viewers anticipate a calm hope-filled adventure. We can do something similar

in our own lives, even if our neighborhoods are a little different from Mr. Rogers. You may experience multiple transitions in a single day at the

These are often moments when people feel especially
