The mind often returns to the same thoughts again and again.

Worries. Memories. Stories about ourselves.

In this episode, you’re invited to notice familiar thought patterns without trying to stop or fix them.

Sometimes simply recognizing a loop is enough to create space.

Awareness loosens the grip.

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.
