Emotions don’t always end when a moment does.

In this episode, you’re invited to notice what you might still be carrying from earlier in the day, without replaying the story or trying to resolve anything.

When emotional residue is seen clearly, it often loosens its hold on the present moment.

Today’s Five Star Minute invites you to slow down before the year takes over.

Choose one word — not a goal, not a resolution — a feeling you want more of in your life.

Write it down. Place it somewhere you’ll see it.

Return to it throughout the day and notice what shifts.

One word.

One minute.

A different way to begin.
