One a day, for five days
None of these needs an hour, a quiet house, or a free weekend. They are built for the schedule you actually have.
Five quiet minutes
A guided meditation, for focus and clarity.
Three slow breaths
Before you open the door.
One thing that went right
Written down. One line is enough.
Say yes to one offer
Kindness accepted counts too.
Speak to yourself kindly
The way you would to someone you love.
None of this asks you to care less for the person who needs you. It asks you to stay standing long enough to keep doing it.
