A 15-minute group practice
- 2 minutes · Set up the practice. Invite participants to use a fictional or low-stakes situation. Offer the option to pass or reflect silently.
- 4 minutes · Model Notice and Stay. Try, “My chest feels tight. I can pause here for a breath. I can make room for the feeling.”
- 5 minutes · Gather data, understand, and choose. Try, “I sent a message this morning. I haven’t received a reply. I assumed they were upset. I can wait or ask a straightforward question.” Give participants quiet time to try their own example.
- 4 minutes · Reflect. Invite people to share what helped them pause or see another choice. Keep the details of the situation optional.
