You take care of your body.
You take care of your work.
But when was the last time you took care of your mind?
What if 10 minutes of your day could become your favourite part of it?
Give yourself that time ❤️

Three groups of students ask a teacher for a final lesson.
He says one sound: "Da." And leaves.
Each group hears something different. Hold back. Give. Be kind.
The old story says thunder still repeats it: Da. Da. Da.
Which one is the thunder saying to you today?

A boy at a teacher's door. "Who is your father?"
Students smirk. He could lie.
"I don't know. Nor does my mother. I'm Satyakama, son of Jabala."
The teacher stands: "Only a lover of truth says that. You're in."
Who needs to hear "thank you for the truth"?

ALT Two-slide, six-panel ink-wash comic: a boy asked about his father in front of other students tells the honest truth; the teacher stands and accepts him, and he grows a herd of 400 thin cows into a thriving 1,000.
Two students study 32 years. Their teacher says: "Look in this bowl of water. That's you."
One sees his dressed-up reflection and leaves happy.
The other walks halfway home, stops, and goes back. He keeps asking for 101 years.
What answer did you accept too fast?

ALT Ink-wash carousel: two dressed-up students see their reflections in a bowl of water; one leaves satisfied, the other stops halfway home, realizes a reflection can't be the lasting self, and returns to keep asking.
An old teaching story: a young man begs a teacher, "Show me what you've found."
The teacher walks him into a river and holds him under.
Up he bursts. "What did you want down there?"
"Air. Only air."
"Want it like that."
What do you want that much?

An archery teacher points at a wooden bird. "What do you see?"
"The tree. You. My brothers. The bird."
"Put down your bow."
Arjuna says: "Only the bird's head."
"Shoot."
My Monday has a lot of trees. What's your one bird today?

A sage by a river watched two cranes in love. An arrow flew. One fell.
What came out of him wasn't a curse. It came out in rhythm. India remembers it as the first poem.
Grief for a stranger, turned into something beautiful.
Whose pain moved you lately?

ALT Miniature-style illustration: a sage by a river sees a hunter's arrow strike one of two dancing cranes; his angry cry turns into rhythmic verse, the first poem.
Clocks went back across Europe last night. A free hour.
Tonight's full moon has an old Indian story: at midnight Lakshmi, the goddess of good fortune, asks every door: "Who is awake?"
I don't think she means open eyes.
Who are you awake to today?

A taste of what we practice: picture a gentle ocean of peace. Let the waves wash over you and take the day's coverings with them.
30 seconds below. Then come sit with us at 8am or 12 noon CT. Link in bio.
It's United Nations Day. Big peace is beyond my reach. Small peace isn't.
This or that, for tonight:
Win the argument, or ask one question?
Scroll in bed, or 5 quiet minutes?
Text "fine," or call?

Dear Worry,
I know you're trying to protect me. You show up at 3am as a tight chest and a list.
Thank you. I've got this one. You can sit in the back seat, but you don't get to drive.
Love, me

Spot the difference: two family dinners, same table, same food.
In one, everyone's in a different room in their heads. In the other, someone asked "best part of your day?"
I've sat at both. Today, I'm aiming for the second.

Me at 9pm: "I'm FINE."
Also me: replaying one email for 40 minutes.
What helps: say the feeling out loud. "This is worry." In a UCLA brain study, labeling a feeling turned down the brain's alarm response.
Name it. Then breathe.

It's International Stuttering Awareness Day.
About 3 million Americans stutter. The kindest thing I've learned: don't finish their sentence. Wait. Your patience is the gift.
A book I love names six kinds of bad listeners. I've been four.

I chased work-life balance for years and felt guilty every week.
What helped: rhythm, not balance. Some weeks lean work, some lean family. The trick is a small daily anchor that doesn't move.
Mine is 10 minutes before the laptop opens.

Happy day of victory.
Ravana's ten heads always made me think. Mine has at least one: the need to be right.
This year I'm burning that one. It's the one that tightens my jaw at home.

Meditation myths I believed before I started:
You have to sit cross-legged. You need an hour. A wandering mind means you're failing.
None of it held up. A few minutes, a chair, coming back gently. That's the practice.
