May often feels like a shift.
More light in the days. More energy in the air. And sometimes, a quiet pressure to “do more” than you actually have capacity for.
These prompts are here to slow things down just enough to notice what is real, what is working, and what needs less from you.
One question. A few honest lines. That's all.
