Journal Prompt
What is one small step I can take today—even if I don't know where the path leads?
Describe what that step might look like.
How would it feel to take it?
What might support you as you move forward, even just a little? -
Drawing Prompt
Imagine your path forward as a staircase stretching out into the unknown. You can’t see the top, and that’s okay.
If your next step was a symbol, what would it be? (A key? A lantern? A stepping stone?)
Draw or describe it, and write about what it represents to you.

Somatic / Sensory Prompt
Take a moment to place both feet on the ground.
Slowly press your toes into the floor, then your heels.
Notice how the ground supports you without needing anything from you in return.
As you breathe, imagine each breath as a small step forward.
Ask yourself:
— Where in my body do I feel a sense of readiness—even a flicker?
— Can I let that feeling be enough for now?
Into the Pause
Simple, grounding, and inviting you to return to this moment, one breath at a time.
This short practice is here to help you gently settle your thoughts, connect to your body, and arrive more fully into the present. No pressure. No fixing. Just a breath… and then another.
Press play when you're ready to begin.
