A daily check-in
Four quick scales every day: sleep, stress, mood and connection to people. After a week the patterns start to show.
Three honest questions

One small action a day
Something you actually do, not just read. The actions are small on purpose.
A grounding tool
The 5-4-3-2-1 method for pulling yourself back into the room when a memory takes over.
