Five minutes counts

We tend to dismiss rest that doesn't come in big blocks. If it's not a full night's sleep, a day off, a holiday — it doesn't count.

But your nervous system doesn't keep score that way. Five unhurried minutes with both hands around a warm mug tells your body something true: right now, nothing is required of you.

Stillness is a practice, not a destination. Start with five minutes. Let it count.
