Here’s a simple 10-minute mental reset you can do anytime.

Minute 1–2: Slow the Breath

Inhale through your nose for 4 seconds, hold briefly, then exhale for 6 seconds.Longer exhales help signal your body to relax.

Minute 3–4: Release Physical Tension

Gently roll your shoulders, stretch your neck, and unclench your jaw.Physical relaxation creates space for mental calm.

Minute 5–6: The 5-Sense Scan

Ground yourself by noticing:

• 5 things you can see

• 4 things you can feel

• 3 things you can hear

• 2 things you can smell

• 1 thing you can taste

This brings your attention back to the present moment.

Minute 7–8: Clear the Mental Clutter

Ask yourself: What is one thought I can let go of right now?You don’t need to solve everything — just soften one worry.

Minute 9–10: Set a Calm Intention
