🏃‍♂️ Exercises

Ready to thrive, not just survive? These steps will spark your joy factor this week.

• Presence Pause (10 minutes): Sit still for 60 seconds—feel your breath, hear the room. Do it once daily.
• Gratitude Grab (5 minutes): Nightly, jot one thing you’re thankful for—keep it simple, feel it real.
• Play Break (1 day): Do one fun, silly thing—sing off-key, skip, whatever—for five minutes. Laugh at it.
• Joy Cue (Ongoing): Pick a trigger (e.g., “Shine” or a stone) to spark presence, gratitude, and play daily.
