Ah, those little pockets of stillness feel like secret gardens tucked in the middle of a storm. I try to pause at the very start of my day, sit with a cup of tea, and simply watch my breath, letting the world fall away. A quick stretch in the middle of a meeting, or even a five‑minute walk to the window to feel the sun, can reset your energy. Another trick is to listen to a single, gentle song and let the melody become your calm soundtrack. Even jotting a quick note of gratitude before you rush off can ground you. Do you have a favorite small ritual that feels like a warm hug?
