We often brace for frustration before an experience even begins.

In this episode, a simple trip to the post office becomes a reminder that not every moment needs advance resistance.

Letting situations unfold without expectation can lighten the day more than we realize.

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.
