Our brains are wired to adapt. That is the essence of neuroplasticity, the ability of the brain to rewire itself in response to new experiences.

During transitions, your brain is especially receptive to change. That is why this is the perfect time to build new emotional habits.

Mindfulness activates parts of the brain responsible for emotional regulation and self-awareness. When practiced consistently, it helps us respond rather than react—especially in moments of uncertainty.

Let's reflect.

• What transition are you currently navigating—or have recently faced?
• What emotions are most present for you right now?
• Can you name one strength that’s emerging through this experience?

Now, think of a time when you faced a major change. What emotional habits did you lean on? Which ones helped you grow, and which ones held you back?

Take a moment, before advancing, to write your answers in your workbook or in a notebook.
