Three-Minute Meditation
A short pause that returns you to the present through a question that branches with your state.
When you tense up, your attention narrows around what worries you until it seems like everything. This pause gently does the opposite: a single question asks you to name your state, and naming alone opens a small distance between you and the wave. Notice how the exercise branches with your answer — the tense need different settling than the scattered. What you notice may be worth your reflection: sometimes three minutes is enough to find you weren’t as “fine” as you thought, or calmer than you feared.
