Sit with not knowing

Ninety seconds of not knowing, without writing the ending.

A 90-second practice — start now

30s · Let the body catch up

Breathe in for 4, out for 6, six rounds. Nothing has to be decided while you do this.

30s · Name the unknown

Say it plainly to yourself: "I don't know yet." Not the fear — just the actual gap in information.

30s · Hand it back to today

Ask: what would I do today if I accepted I won't know for two weeks? Do that one thing.

Optional — one line

The unknown, in a plain sentence.
