Freeze frame
calm ritual 5 min +40 XP
Stop wherever you are. Stand still for 3 minutes. Just notice.
Why this matters
A day is made of moves between tasks, with no pause built in. Three minutes of standing still turns out to be noticeably long.
What to do
Stop exactly where you are — do not look for a comfortable spot, that is the whole point. Let your arms hang, put your feet level and do not move for three minutes: no phone, no shifting from foot to foot, no glances at the clock. Look at one point straight ahead and let your eyes go out of focus. Count not the time but what is happening around you: sounds, people, moving air, smells. If other people's looks make you uncomfortable, stay another thirty seconds. When you walk on, take the first ten steps slower than usual.
Afterwards
Where were you hurrying to three minutes ago?
