  2. A Windows notification reading “Nothing to change. Simply notice.” with a drawing of a lotus on still water beneath it.A reminder arrivesAt the corner of your screen, over whatever you are doing. It leaves on its own after twelve seconds.On a Mac, Chrome shows the drawing small beside the words. Chrome’s own limit, not a setting.

What this is, and is not

Nothing to fix.

Nothing to achieve.

Simply notice.

Watch your breath.

Just a moment.
