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.

1. One kind message — text appreciation without asking for anything back.
2. Two-minute breath — slower exhales than inhales.
3. Body fuel — water and a protein-containing snack.
4. Outdoor minutes — light exposure if safe and accessible.
5. Boundary sentence — practice one clear “not today” when overloaded.
