What's a big decision you're facing where crystal-clear thinking would help?
Your reset ritual has four key phases: anchor touch, breath reset, body awareness, and thought clearing. This sequence moves from physical grounding to mental clarity.
Each phase flows naturally into the next, creating a complete mental reset in just 90 seconds.

Which of your learned techniques do you find most instantly calming?
Phase 1: Touch your calm anchor (15 seconds). Find your chosen object and hold it while taking three deep breaths. This immediately signals your nervous system to shift from stress to focus.
Feel the object's texture, weight, and temperature as you breathe slowly and intentionally.
Engagement Message
Touch your anchor now - what physical sensation do you notice first?
Phase 2: Box breathing cycle (30 seconds). While still holding your anchor, complete two full box breathing cycles: inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 4, hold 4.
This deepens your calm state and brings your heart rate down to optimal decision-making levels.
Engagement Message
In one word, how does combining your anchor with box breathing feel?
Phase 3: Quick body scan (30 seconds). Starting from your head, rapidly scan for tension spots. When you find tightness, say your personal cue word and imagine that area softening.
Don't try to fix everything - just notice and release what you can in this brief scan.
