Mind

Quiet the noise. Hear yourself again.

Mindfulness isn't a personality — it's a skill. A few minutes a day is enough to start.

Try this today

  • • Box breathing: 4 seconds in, 4 hold, 4 out, 4 hold. Repeat 4 times.
  • • A 5-minute body scan in the morning or before sleep.
  • • Write three sentences about your day before bed — anything counts.
  • • Protect your sleep. Same wake time, dimmer evenings, no phone in bed.
