In this brief guided segment, the speaker proposes a simple daily mindfulness technique: upon waking, close your eyes and spend five seconds taking a single inhale followed by a single exhale. The purpose is to break out of an automatic, autopilot mental state, bring attention back to the present moment, and engage the senses and body. By repeating this micro‑breath each morning, a habit forms that can make the practice feel more comfortable and supportive over time. The speaker also suggests pairing the practice with a mutual‑accountability system so participants can keep each other on track.

And through these habits, then you can make it more comfortable with yourself. So what I had planned with him is that, okay, every day when you wake up, literally gonna take 5 seconds, just 5 seconds, you close your eyes, you do one inhale and one exhale, and then we're gonna keep each other, what's the word? We're gonna keep each other accountable.
