Some days ask more of you than you have to give. This isn’t a checklist — it’s a small collection of low-effort things you can try when getting through the hour is enough.

  • Start with one slow breath.
  • Drink a glass of water.
  • Change one small thing — open a window, turn on a lamp.
  • Move for sixty seconds.
  • Rest your eyes.
  • Eat something small.
  • Lower the bar, kindly.
  • Let a gentle nudge do the remembering.
