On a chilly Monday in late autumn, Maya stood at the edge of her kitchen counter staring at the glow of her phone. Her calendar was a mosaic of obligations; her energy, a thin thread. Yet as sunlight inched across the floor, she tried something different—three minutes of slow nasal breaths, a large glass of salted water, and a ten-minute walk outside.
