Put your phone down and find somewhere to sit comfortably. You don't need an empty mind; just come back and look at yourself as you are right now.
Minute one · Notice your body
Feel your feet on the ground, and notice your shoulders, jaw and breath. Breathe comfortably, without forcing a rhythm.
Minute two · Name the feeling
Ask yourself: “Right now, which feeling am I closest to?” It might be tired, hopeful, irritable, or something you can't name yet. You don't need to do anything with it for now.
Minute three · Look after one small need
Drink a glass of water, stand up and stretch, write down one sentence, or decide to drop one unnecessary task today. Choose a small action you can really do.
After three minutes, take the little bit of yourself you've noticed back into your day.
