✨ The One-Minute Ritual
Light a Candle
Choose lavender, chamomile, or sandalwood. Scent signals your body to soften.Breathe for 4-4-4
Inhale for 4, hold for 4, exhale for 4. It lowers cortisol (the stress hormone).Place a Hand on Your Belly
Gentle pressure reminds your body to relax, aids digestion, and soothes hormone swings.
That’s it. 60 seconds. Calm restored.
🧠 Why It Works
Stress = higher cortisol.
Higher cortisol = bigger hormone imbalances.
By calming your nervous system in just one minute, you’re breaking the cycle before it spirals. It’s science, but it feels like magic.
