A familiar thought can appear quickly and sound certain. This practice invites you to notice it without assuming it defines you or tells the whole story; adapt or stop whenever you choose.

Pause with the way you are speaking to yourself about something difficult. There is no need to solve everything at once, just choose one simple next move.

Choose one expectation, belief, or description of yourself that has been taking up a lot of space lately. You do not have to abandon what protects or guides you; simply explore whether there is room to respond differently.
