Today the focus is frequency, not depth. You are not trying to do the 3-Breath Pause well. You are trying to do it often.
Most people, in their first week, run the pause two or three times and assume that is enough. It is not. The skill installs only by repetition. Aim for five today. Some will be perfect. Most will be clumsy. The clumsy ones still count — they are training reps.
Each pause is ten seconds. You can do it at a red light. You can do it before opening an email. You can do it the moment your child interrupts you for the fourth time. The point is to wear the practice into your day like a groove until it begins firing on its own.
