Daily Nourishment Read Time: 40 seconds
Pause/Prompt/Practice Time: 15 minutes


How there can be a place
so cold any movement saves you.

-Naomi Shihab Nye

Pause.

Take three deep breaths with a six-count inhale and a six-count exhale.

 
 

Practice.

Set a timer for five minutes and journal or take notes on anything that comes to mind. Or sit in silence. Sitting in silence is always a nice option.
