Welcome to Day 3. As we return once more, something subtle shifts. The pause is no longer just an appointment we keep; it becomes a quiet companion. This gentle repetition teaches us a profound truth: stillness is a skill, not a coincidence. We are not waiting for calm to find us; we are cultivating it, deliberately, one minute at a time. This is where the practice begins to live in the spaces between. That one minute of listening becomes a touchstone you can return to—before a decision, in the midst of busyness, or as an anchor at day's end. 🌿 Today's Core Invitation: Where can your one minute of listening live today? This is your practice: 1. Check-in: Connect with your intention. Where does your day need a breath? 2. Pause: Gift yourself that minute. No agenda, just presence. 3. Check-out & Share: Did you notice a new quality in your stillness today? A sense of space, a flicker of insight, or just the simple gift of breath? Share a word, a feeling, or a 🤍 below. *"Within you, there is a stillness and a sanctuary to which you can retreat at any time and be yourself." – Hermann Hesse* You are building that sanctuary, minute by steady minute. Let's continue, together. @Phil Grunewald @Veronika Hübner @Georgiana D .... 2x

Yesterday, we appreciated the simple tools and comforts that grounded us. Thank you for honoring those daily anchors. Today, let’s focus our gratitude on growth and learning. Let’s appreciate the insights, skills, or shifts in perspective we gained this year—not from ease, but often through challenge, curiosity, or simply staying open. 🌱 Check-in Pause, and reflect on your journey of growth this year. What is one lesson, new understanding, or personal skill you feel thankful for? It could be a practical ability you learned, a boundary you set, a deeper patience you cultivated, a belief you softened, or simply the courage to say "I don't know yet." 💬 Check-out If it feels right, name that growth in a word or short phrase. *Example:* “CHECK-IN... [pause] ... CHECK-OUT: Learning to ask for help.” Gratitude for growth reminds us that we are always evolving. Every insight, whether gentle or hard-won, adds a new layer to our wisdom and expands how we meet the world. Thank you for honoring how you’ve grown. 🌿✨ @Phil Grunewald @Marama Elizabeth @Veronika Hübner

Yesterday, we turned our gratitude inward, honoring the resilience and strength we each carried through the year. Thank you for recognizing the light you hold within yourself. Today, let's extend our appreciation to the tools, practices, and small comforts that supported us along the way. Let’s feel gratitude for the tangible and intangible aids — from a trusted journal or a favorite cup, to a daily walk or a calming breath — that helped us stay grounded, inspired, and connected. 🌱 Check-in Pause, and consider the small supports that have been part of your year. What is one tool, habit, or comforting presence you’re thankful for? It could be a pen that flows easily, a song that always lifts your mood, the ritual of morning tea, a nourishing recipe, a cozy blanket, or a meditation app that helped you find stillness. 💬 Check-out If it feels right, name that supportive element in a word or short phrase. *Example:* “CHECK-IN... [pause] ... CHECK-OUT: My evening walk.” Gratitude for our supportive tools reminds us that care is often woven into small, daily choices. These gentle anchors help us navigate with more grace and presence, especially when the waters feel deep. Thank you for honoring the simple supports that held you. 🌿✨ @Marama Elizabeth @Georgiana D
