The Power of Five Minutes

When your life is scheduled down to the minute, it’s tempting to think that you need an hour—or a weekend retreat—to feel like yourself again.

But what if healing could begin in just five minutes?

• Five minutes of breathing with your hand on your heart.

• Five minutes of writing down what you’re grateful for (or what’s breaking your heart).

• Five minutes outside, letting the sun remind you that you’re alive.

  
  

In a life that revolves around everyone else’s needs, five minutes for you can feel radical.

It may not solve everything. But it can shift your energy.It can interrupt the cycle of stress and invite you back to your center. It can remind you that your own care matters—even when no one else is watching.

Don’t wait for the perfect moment. Start with five minutes. Your nervous system will thank you. So will your family.
