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.
