Arjun set a timer for 60 seconds. It didn’t change his day; it changed his days.
The Scatter – Notifications frayed him. He decided to reclaim one minute every morning.
The Practice – Eyes closed, attention on breath, count to ten, restart when lost.
The Expansion – One minute felt short; he never missed it. Soon it grew into three, then five.
The Spillover – He paused before replying, ate slower, noticed birds he’d lived with but never seen.
The Anchor – Life didn’t simplify; his mind did.
Life Lessons
- Consistency beats intensity for inner work.
- A small daily pause can reroute your reactions.
- The minute you own changes the hour that owns you.
