Choose a moment when nothing urgent presses for your attention. Sit or stand somewhere quiet.

Place your hands on your body – belly, legs, against each other – wherever stillness feels easiest. Take several slow breaths, then notice what feels unfinished, delayed or frustrating.

Say to yourself (aloud or silently): This is not the moment for movement.

When you’re ready, return to your day without trying to resolve anything. Let stillness count as the work.
