Many of us live with a quiet sense of being behind.

Rushing through moments.

Checking the clock.

Moving on before the moment has landed.

In this episode, you’re invited to notice the subtle ways time pressure shows up — and what softens when you pause for even half a second.

Sometimes the moment doesn’t need to change.

Only the way we meet it.

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.
