A Simple Stress Reset for Busy Days

A brief practice to pause, notice, and choose your next step.

When stress rises, your attention can narrow. A short pause can help you respond rather than react.

Place both feet on the floor, lengthen your exhale, and name three things you can see. Then ask: what is the smallest helpful action available right now?

This practice is not a treatment for anxiety or trauma. Seek professional support when distress is intense or persistent.
