What's the loudest feeling sitting with you right now? You don't have to fix it — just name it.

A tightness in my chest. Sunday dread, basically. I thought I'd shaken it after the group but it's back.

What do you think that tightness is responding to? What happened — recently or longer ago — that it might be tied to?

I'm bracing for a week I haven't even started yet. My calendar is fuller than I want it to be.

What's one small, kind thing you could give yourself this week while that tightness settles?

Probably a ten-minute walk before I open my laptop on Monday. Phone in my pocket, not in my hand.
