Five Minute Fix

Five minutes closer to a better day

December 2, 2024 by mich Leave a Comment

At the end of each week, review your entries. See if your gratitude is changing

Came to a conclusion the whole operation needs prompting, hence:

“What are three positive things that happened today?” 

Role-playing with Nel. 

“Be specific. Details hit harder.”

Grateful for Nel’s love of role-play. She makes me act like Voldemort or Snape, i can finally justify the dark circles under my eyes. Besides, my Snape accent is zero, but she still thinks I’m Snape. She’s always needless to say by default, Hermione. I gotta do also Harry and Ron. And it can go for three hours improv unfolding story. Once I squeezed the whole “Game of Thrones” into Harry Potter universe. Hermione cast a spell to kill the Night King. 

“What are three things you’re most grateful for in your life?”

Grateful for my job. Therapy clients at times might be quite possibly shall we say, a little upsetting, but at least i don’t get to talk to them real psychopaths (just the poor things who happen to live with them).

“What small joys did you experience today?” 

Grateful Emil didn’t go up to the big dog again. Avoiding conflict. Emil’s got short legs and Napoleon complex. He’s a Dachshund. Thinks he’s the king of the hill.

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
