| Hi there, It’s surprisingly easy to forget how much small actions can change your day. A deep breath between meetings, or even a one-minute pause away from your screen, can help you feel noticeably more present—almost like hitting ‘refresh’ on your mind. | One-Minute Reset for Busy Days This isn’t just a nice idea. Even 60 seconds of mindful breathing is shown to reduce stress markers in the body. The impact stacks quickly. Think of these micro-resets as fuel stops for your brain; short, intentional pauses let you recharge so you don’t run out of gas mid-afternoon. One way to make these moments count is to attach them to another habit you already do. Pouring your morning coffee? Stand while it brews and take a slow stretch. Just closed a tricky email? Grab a glass of water and jot down a line or two about something that’s working well today. When you link tiny routines like these to regular parts of your day, they’re easier to remember—and you don’t need to carve out extra time. Of course, even with good intentions, habits are easy to skip when you’re busy. A simple solution is to set a small cue: schedule a daily phone reminder, or place a sticky note on your desk where you’ll see it. This makes your reset automatic—a gentle nudge that your brain will soon come to anticipate. | | “Pause for a moment right now. Close your eyes, breathe in and out—slowly—three times. Notice any shift in how you feel. It’s a small act, but sometimes that’s all it takes to feel a bit lighter.” | How to Make Micro-Resets Automatic • Attach your one-minute reset to another daily habit
