This episode takes a very ordinary mistake and shows how quickly it can grow into something bigger internally. By not feeding the reaction and staying with the immediate task, the moment resolves on its own. Sometimes resilience looks like not turning a small thing into a bigger one.

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.
