This episode explores how small everyday moments can trigger surprisingly strong reactions. A cyclist lingering behind without passing becomes an unexpected reflection on irritation and awareness. Sometimes life tests patience in oddly specific ways.

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.
