Mindfulness - 1 minute is all it takes

I want to invite you to pause right now, just as I did:

1. Look around you. Notice one color, then find two more items with the same color.

2. Engage your sense of smell. What do you smell right now?

3. Gently tap your nose a few times. Feel the subtle sensations it creates.

4. Inhale deeply, then exhale through an open mouth.  Notice how this playful act connects you instantly to your body.

5. Ask yourself: What do I notice now? Hunger, thirst, fatigue, or perhaps a desire to simply put down the phone.

This simple practice takes less than a minute, yet it can profoundly transform your day.
