Five Minute Fix

Five minutes closer to a better day

Gratitude diary. Start a ritual

Sunday, 10 pm

“Don’t have five? Spend a minute a day. Write one thing you’re grateful for.”

“Thank yourself.”

Showed up.

“Missed a day? It’s okay. “Don’t stress if you miss a day. Life happens. Just pick it up the next day.”

Emil is nudging my leg—probably time for his late-night stroll. Before heading out, one gratitude entry: Grateful for the streetlights that make nighttime dog walks less horror-show.

Take a five. Take a breather.

Life is erratic. Before you flip out, best to take a breather. Take a breath break.

Here is a Sesame Street’s breathing for beginners:  

Breathe in deeply like you’re trying to steal all the oxygen in the room. Use your belly to take a deeper breath. Let the air fill your lungs. 

Hold your breath briefly and gently for a few seconds  so that your body gets the oxygen it needs.

Slowly release air from your lungs. Savor the pause between breaths.

5-minute escape. 5-minute meditation. Intentional pause. Mindful pause
