How

01

Find your moment: Choose a simple cue - after waking, before sleep, or during a short break.

02

Sit or stand comfortably: Close your eyes if you like. Place your feet on the ground and relax your shoulders.

03

Take 3–5 slow breaths: Inhale gently, exhale fully. Notice the quiet between breaths - nothing to fix, nothing to achieve.

Easy Start

Before your next meal, pause for three slow breaths and notice the stillness between them.

Why It Matters

A short pause helps you step out of the day’s noise and reconnect with yourself. It steadies your thoughts, restores focus, and gives you a sense of calm and control.

Questions and Thoughts

  1. “I don’t have time.” → Even 30 seconds counts; pair it with an existing routine.
  2. “My mind won’t stop racing.” → That’s okay—just notice the breath; no need to control thoughts.
  3. “Feels odd.” → Try it once in a private spot; comfort grows with practice.

Care Notes

If stillness feels uncomfortable or brings up tough feelings, switch to a different card or speak with someone you trust. This is a gentle pause, not a fix-all.
