Your body is in the meeting, your mind already in the next one: that gap is where stress sets in.
Answering a message during a meeting, thinking about the next task during a one-on-one: autopilot takes over without you choosing it. This module teaches you to come back to the present moment with practices that fit into your day: a few breaths before a moment that matters, one thing at a time, your mind back where your feet are.
