Today, write about a personal ritual or habit that grounds you and makes you feel like things are under control, at least for a moment, after you do this activity. Maybe taking a moment to trim and paint your nails makes you feel re-set, or maybe it’s more like a journaling or meditation practice, maybe it’s a hobby like gardening or baking, or maybe something small and unexpected that makes everything seem steady and normal for you.
If helpful, start by making a list of such things, then pick one to write about now and save the rest to your ideas file to tackle another day. Let’s go.
