One minute a day. You have it. You’ve spent longer than that staring at your refrigerator hoping new food would appear.
Set a timer. Sit down. Close your eyes. Just notice breathing — not control it, just notice it. When thoughts arrive (and they will, loudly, with opinions), nod at them and return to the breath. That’s mindfulness. Not the absence of thought, but the gentle, stubborn return to now. Do it every day for a month and report back. You will either feel noticeably calmer or you’ll have a very interesting experiment to write about.
Time required: One minute. You’re out of excuses.
