When your chest tightens and thoughts scatter, you don’t need theory—you need the next sixty seconds to count. Calm in a Minute gives first‑timers a clear, confidence‑building routine to steady the body, clear the mind, and take one helpful action right now. In short, friendly pages you’ll learn a four‑step loop: Breathe (two rounds of box‑breathing), Body (quick grounding with 5‑4‑3‑2‑1 and a temperature reset), Browser (close the mental tab that’s yelling by naming it), and Begin (pick a micro‑move that restores control).
Pocket scripts cover common flare‑ups—before a meeting, on a commute, in a checkout line, lying awake at night. You’ll get anchor phrases, a one‑minute posture fix, a palm‑press calm cue, and a 30‑second “worry window” that contains spirals so you can act. Visual trackers make small wins visible, building momentum day after day.
No jargon. No shame. Just a practical, beginner‑friendly kit that turns overwhelm into motion—sixty seconds at a time. Open to page one and practice your fastest path back to steady.
