Avoidance doesn’t usually look dramatic.

Most of the time, it’s quiet and automatic.

In this episode, you’re invited to notice the small moments where you distract, busy yourself, or move away from mild discomfort.

The practice isn’t to confront or fix anything.

It’s simply to notice avoidance as it’s happening.

Awareness creates choice.

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.
