Presence Shift 16

Five One-Minute Reps to Begin the Next Hour

Hello friend,

Today’s practice begins with one small rep you can try right now.

If you want to keep going, today’s full practice set below includes five brand new one-minute Presence Shift reps:

five small practices for connecting to presence before your next hour begins.

Begin by taking a long, deep breath.

—

—

—

Let your body settle in.

—

—

—

Tap play when you’re ready to let the next hour feel a bit more connected.

If you already watched it, you’ve done today’s first practice: one intentional rep of connecting to presence before the next part of your day begins.

---

Each 60-Second Presence rep begins from a slightly different doorway.

Today, the doorway is the next hour of your life.

The ritual stays the same:

Answer → Intend → Focus → Flow → Begin

The more you practice that path, the more familiar it feels in your body.

Presence becomes easier to find when you need it.

What today’s rep trains

Today’s rep helps you notice what is shaping your state.

It helps you connect to presence before the next part of your day begins.

And it helps your body learn the path by:

1. naming the moment

2. setting your direction

3. coming into your body

4. seeing presence flowing into your day

5. beginning your next hour feeling present!

One rep may feel small.

Repeated over time, the path back to presence becomes easier to travel.

This is what our Year of Presence training is cultivating.

You can begin your year at any time.
