Feels Urgent

Come back to one clear next step.

What you will hear

Urgency has a feeling in the body: a faster breath, a tight chest, a mind jumping ahead to the next five things. This short practice does not ask you to fix any of that. Heather guides you to notice the rush, let your feet find the floor, and take a few slower breaths right at your desk or in a hallway. Then you choose one thing, just one, to do next.

Use it before you reply to the email, between back-to-back meetings, or whenever the whole day feels like it is due right now. About two minutes, and you return a little steadier.
