Two minutes can change your day.
Short, guided practices designed to help you restore what your brain needs and build the skills to thrive in the modern world.
Look Up Before You Look Down
What to Do
Before you check your phone in the morning, look outside first. Take in whatever's there (sky, trees, light, weather) for one full minute. Let the world, not your notifications, be the first thing you see.
When to Do It
At the beginning of your day.
Why it Works
Starting the day with the world around you instead of a screen helps create a calmer, more intentional beginning.
How It Works
Your brain's cortisol naturally rises in the first hour after waking - a process that helps calibrate your stress response for the day. Checking email or social media first thing primes that response with urgency before the day has even started. Starting with the world around you instead sets a different baseline.
- Lowers stress response
- Breaks autopilot habits
