Daily kindness habits
Habits work best when they are small enough to repeat on hard days. Pair any practice with professional care when symptoms are significant.
- One kind message — text appreciation without asking for anything back.
- Two-minute breath — slower exhales than inhales.
- Body fuel — water and a protein-containing snack.
- Outdoor minutes — light exposure if safe and accessible.
- Boundary sentence — practice one clear “not today” when overloaded.
