Meditation is, in most traditions, a long-term attention practice you build over months. A state reset protocol is a short operational protocol used in the two minutes before a specific pressure moment — a decision, a meeting, public speaking, deep work, or recovery — to make the next action cleaner. One is a practice. The other is a tool.
