Over Spring Break I learned that I have a really hard time with transitions. I have always known that transitions are hard for me but it came up with this break especially because we had so many. There are big transitions which are usually very hard for me and small transitions. Small transitions like going from one place to another used to be hard for me, but it has gotten easier as I have done it more and more. But this year was especially hard, because even though most of the transitions were just short transitions, I was leaving behind people and places I love. I knew that I needed to change something about my mindset during transitions when I started to have a very minor panic attack in the back of the car while driving away from one of my favorite places in the world. I started to hyperventilate and become lightheaded and it felt like my stomach was tying itself into a knot and then untying it and tying it again. Right then was when I chose to  change what it did and thought during transitions like those. Now, during each transition instead of thinking negative things that will just make me stress more, I am going to think positive things or things that might help me when I am feeling sad or stressed about leaving somewhere or doing some thing new. I hope this will make me less nervous before a transition and more able to focus on more important things.
