One hour to go. Here’s a simple, varied plan to pass it with a mix of calm, creativity, and reflection. You can follow these in order, or jump to any part you like. I can also start with a micro-story right away if you want.
-
0–5 minutes: Mindful start
- Box breathing: inhaling 4, holding 4, exhaling 4, holding 4 (repeat 4 rounds)
- Quick body scan from head to toe
-
5–15 minutes: Quick journaling
- List 3 things you’re grateful for today
- Note 1 small thing you’d like to explore or try later
-
15–30 minutes: Micro-fiction prompt
