At work, you are often activated, hyper focused, and fully absorbed.  There can also be stress points and challenges that don't get processed because, frankly, you've got to move on to the next thing. These factors, amongst others, can make it difficult to just jump right into 'home brain'. In addition, there's a lot to untangle in your 'work brain' at the end of the day. What many of us do is kind of push that tangle it to the side and get on with the rest of day or, taking that up a level, numb it or drown it out so that it doesn't make too much noise.  If any of this sounds or feels familiar to you, I encourage you to check out this guided exercise to help with the transition between work and home.
