When your head feels heavy, a long break isn’t the only answer. In ten intentional minutes you can reset your mind and reclaim your focus. Start by sitting upright and loosening the jaw and shoulders. Breathe slowly in for four, hold for four, and exhale for four. Repeat three rounds, letting the rhythm settle your nerves. Move toward natural light stand near a window or step outside. Let your gaze rest on a still point; soft focus calms overactive mental loops. Drink a glass of water in slow sips and notice the temperature. Roll your neck, wrists, and ankles to release hidden tension. Then walk in a quiet loop for a minute, touching heel to toe. Choose one next action something so small you can’t fail and say: “One thing at a time.” Place your phone face‑down for ten minutes while you complete it. This mini‑ritual blends breath, light, hydration, gentle movement, and micro‑action five levers that lower stress and increase clarity. Repeat anytime the day feels stuck; consistency turns this reset into a reliable ally.
