164:The One-Minute Mindfulness Habit Hack: A Simple Ritual for Calmer Days in August

164:The One-Minute Mindfulness Habit Hack: A Simple Ritual for Calmer Days in August

Author: Lorrie Mickelson, Habits & Self Care August 9, 2025 Duration: 10:45

What if one minute could change the way your whole day feels?


One breath. One pause. One gentle return to yourself.


Last week, we explored relaxation as a habit: Not just a luxury or a vacation, but something that you can practice every day in almost any situation.


This week, on Episode #164 of the Habit Thrive Podcast, we are focusing on the smallest, most "do-able" dose - a mindful minute.


A mindful minute in August is like a mini reset button for your nervous system.


It's not actually about doing nothing, it's about just being fully in the present moment.


So, settle in, and join me in reducing stress - without the need of a full meditation session.


Love,

Lorrie xoxox
