Mental reset in under one minute
A reset does not require a full break. Sometimes 30 to 60 seconds is enough to shift state.
Reset sequence
- Pause what you are doing.
- Breathe with a longer exhale than inhale.
- Read one gentle prompt and continue.
This combines body regulation and cognitive softening. It is practical and repeatable.
SoftPause makes this sequence easy with visual breathing guidance, optional reminders, and private local-first settings.
