Let’s be real — life can feel chaotic. Between work, social plans, and trying to squeeze in a glow-up, slowing down feels like a luxury. But here’s the truth: you don’t need an hour-long meditation to reset your mind. You just need the right micro-moments.

Here are 5 That Girl-approved mindfulness hacks you can practice anywhere — in under 5 minutes.


🧘 1. The One-Minute Breath Reset

Close your eyes. Breathe in through your nose for 4 seconds, hold for 4, exhale for 6. Do it three times. That’s it. You’ve just told your nervous system you’re safe.

📓 2. Do a 5-Word Journal Dump

Grab a sticky note or open Notes on your phone. Write down the first 5 words that describe how you feel. Don’t overthink it. Labeling emotions helps you move through them.


🔥 3. Light a Candle, Set an Intention

Scent impacts mood instantly. Light your favorite candle, take one deep breath, and say your intention out loud. Example: “I move through today with ease.”


🌿 4. Look at the Sky for 30 Seconds

Seriously — stop what you’re doing and look out the window. Watch the clouds. The stillness reconnects you with something bigger than your to-do list.


🧼 5. Mindful Skincare = Instant Reset

Instead of rushing through your routine, slow it down. Notice the temperature of the water. Massage your cleanser in. Feel your skin. It’s your body saying thank you.
