The Gentle Pause
You can't change a thought you haven't noticed.
Three times today, pause and ask: "What am I telling myself right now?" Don't argue with the answer. Just name it, like a kind observer.
Let's start with three slow breaths.
Breathe in slowly... and let it out, a little longer.

That's it. You noticed. That little space between you and the thought is where choice lives.
If you'd like, try one gentler, truer thought: the Best-Friend Test.
