Practice
Baseline Read. Before anything else today, place your hand on your heart. Breathe six counts in, six counts out, for three minutes. Notice your emotional state without judging it. Write one word that names the dominant feeling. This is your Day 1 signal.
The science
Your brain filters 11 million bits of incoming reality down to 50 — selecting based on what your nervous system expects. The quality of your emotional state right now is the filter that’s running. This is your baseline.
Today’s task
Write your one-word baseline in your journal. Date it. Keep it visible. This is the first data point of your coherence experiment.
Journal
What has been the dominant emotional frequency of your mornings for the past month? Be honest — not aspirational.
