Consider the value of 5 minutes a day to reflect about personal thoughts and feelings. Start your day with a simple but powerful act: give yourself five uninterrupted minutes. No replays of yesterday. No previews of tomorrow. Just you, right now.
Set a timer for five minutes and switch your phone to airplane mode—this time is yours, free from distractions. Find a calm, comfortable space where you feel safe and at ease.

It’s surprising how much clarity and calm five mindful minutes can bring.
Make it a morning habit, and let this quiet pause become a foundation for your day.
