Meditation

After putting your morning cup in the sink, sit in a place where you can stop safely for a minute. Keep this cue separate from driving or another task that needs attention.

Set a one-minute timer. Notice one breath or an ordinary sound. When attention wanders, return once; wandering does not invalidate the attempt. The commitment is to practice, not to produce a particular feeling.

If sitting is uncomfortable or the practice increases distress, stop. On a busy day, simply notice your feet against the floor; skipping is also an honest choice.

Record “one minute after breakfast; attention wandered; returned once.” Do not record “cured anxiety” or rate whether you were a good meditator.

After several attempts, ask whether the place and timing were usable. Keep the same minute, move it, or choose a different practice rather than automatically increasing duration.

This is a general reflection example, not treatment or a promise of stress reduction. Seek qualified support for persistent distress.
