Today’s Five Star Minute invites you to release the need to be fully understood.

Notice when you feel the urge to explain or justify yourself and pause.

Ask whether it’s truly necessary, or just a habit.

Letting go of explanation creates space.

And space brings freedom back into the 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.
