Day 3 – Bring It All Together
Morning Breathing
Sit comfortably. Inhale through the nose for 4 counts, hold 1, exhale through the mouth for 6.
Repeat for 5 minutes. Longer exhales tell the body to shift from “go, go, go” to “rest and
digest.”
Hip Relaxer (“Legs on Chair”)
Lie on your back with calves resting on a chair seat with knees bent. Breathe slowly for 10–15
minutes. This position lets deep hip muscles unclench and you may feel warmth or tingling as
built‑up tension melts away.
Device‑Free Walk
Head outside again but this time soften your focus—notice things out of the corner of your
eye: colors, movement, sky shapes. This wider view brings a calm alertness that busy streets
rarely allow.
Mindful Meal
Bake a sweet potato top with a small drizzle of real melted butter or olive oil, a shake of salt,
and a touch of cinnamon. Eat slowly, chew well, and pay attention to texture and flavor.
Simple meals often taste surprisingly rich once taste buds reset.
Relationship Inventory
Draw two columns: Energizes Me and Drains Me. List people, chats, even social accounts.
Promise yourself to spend more time in the first column. Boundaries can feel awkward at first,
but they’re key to keeping post‑reset calm.
Closing Intention
At day’s end, write three clear promises to yourself, for example:
“Whole foods 80% of the time.”
“Social media only after dinner—and only for 30 minutes.”
“Declutter one shelf each month.”
Post them where you’ll see them: fridge door, bathroom mirror, or phone wallpaper.
Finish with a slow full‑body stretch, thanking yourself for sticking with the reset.
