Questions
About 4-7-8 breathing
How long does it take?
About 57 seconds, start to finish. Every Move in MiniMove takes 90 seconds or less.
What if I can't do it?
Count faster: the ratio matters more than the seconds. If the hold feels too long, try 4-4-8, and stop if you feel light-headed; “I can't do this” in the app swaps in another Move and stops suggesting it.
How many minutes does it unlock?
Whatever the Move, it opens the app for the window you chose: 5, 15, 30 or 60 minutes of real use (15 by default), capped at twice that on the clock. It also goes into your Bank.
