Reflection questions:
- Think about a recent interaction where you weren't at your best. Where was your emotional state before that conversation began? If you had taken 60 seconds to notice, release, and set an intention, how might that conversation have unfolded differently?
- Consider which transitions in your day tend to be the most challenging—perhaps between work and home, or between different roles and responsibilities. How might you build in brief moments of preparation before these transitions to help you show up more intentionally?
- Reflect on your patterns: What emotions or states do you most commonly bring into important conversations without realizing it? What intentions would be most transformative for you to set regularly before engaging with the people you care about most?
