Reflection
Pocket practices are small, deliberate actions that fit into the gaps of your day — the five minutes between meetings, the walk to the bus, or the pause before a call. They respect limited energy and invite brief, private regrouping that doesn’t demand performance.
Simple examples include three slow breaths with hands resting, a 60-second sensory check naming three sounds and one texture, a concise exit phrase to close a conversation, or a seated stretch to reset posture. Each practice lasts under a minute and can be repeated as needed without drawing attention.
Anchor a practice to an existing cue (after a call, when you sit down, or before entering a social space) and begin with one for a week. Keep it optional, brief, and adjustable so it becomes a quietly reliable way to recalibrate rather than another obligation.
