Create space in between.
A practical pledge to stay present in three daily moments: after transitions, with people, and in motion.
Join BETWEENWhat is BETWEEN?
BETWEEN is a simple pledge built around three moments you already experience every day. It is not about quitting your phone or meditating. It is about choosing presence in the gaps where reflex usually takes over. After transitions, give yourself 108 seconds. With people, be head's up. In motion, stay present. That is it. No app, no tracker, no guru. Just a repeatable discipline that makes space for what matters.
After Transitions – 108 Seconds
Before you pick up your phone after a transition, wait 108 seconds.
Examples:
A friend leaves the table • A meeting ends • You get in line • You park the car
The practice: 108 seconds. Breathe. Look around. Let your mind wander.
With People – Phone Down
When you are in the formal presence of others, phone down, head's up.
Examples:
Meetings • Dinner • Coffee • Conversations
The rule: If someone is in front of you, they get your attention.
In Motion – Stay Present
When you are moving, be present.
Examples:
Walking • Running • Biking • Driving
The rule: No scrolling, no drifting. Just move.
Why 108 Seconds?
- - Long enough to let your nervous system reset
- - Short enough to actually do it, every time
- -
- 108 shows up in nature, spirituality and even on a baseball

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this meditation?
No. Meditation is a seated practice with specific techniques. BETWEEN is a behavioral pledge you take in moments you are already living. No cushion, no timer, no technique required.
Do I have to quit my phone?
No. BETWEEN is not about quitting anything. It is about choosing presence in three specific moments: after transitions, with people, and in motion. The rest of your day is yours.
What counts as a transition?
Any moment when one thing ends and another begins. A meeting wraps. Someone leaves. You finish a task. You get in the car. If it feels like a shift, it counts.
What if I forget?
You will. Everyone does. BETWEEN is not about perfection. It is about noticing and choosing again. The practice is in the repetition, not the streak.
Can I do this with friends or a team?
Yes. BETWEEN works solo or shared. Some people take the pledge with their team, their family, or their partner. The rules stay the same.
Why 108?
108 seconds is long enough to let your system settle and short enough to be repeatable. 108 shows up in nature, traditions and even on a baseball. It is specific, which makes it easier to remember and harder to negotiate with yourself.
Why is this on FluidStance?
Between was pondered by Joel Heath, founder of FluidStance. This is merely the real estate for this idea to launch. No agenda, just free rent for an idea.
