Evening
Good evening, Gabriela.
Pick what you need. Nothing here asks anything of you.
Settle when your mind is loud
Breathe
Follow the orb. It counts for you. Three patterns, for sleep, for panic, for an ordinary day.
Balban et al., Stanford, 2023
Ground
When everything is too much. Five senses, one at a time. It brings you back into the room.
A common grounding exercise
Rest
Five minutes, lying down. A soft light moves from your feet to your head. You only notice.

Drift
An open canvas. Move your finger and petals bloom behind it. No goal. Just flow.
Inspired by Kaplan's attention restoration
Your notebook paper first, kept here
Notebook
Photograph a page from your real notebook, or a piece of your art. Solace straightens it and keeps it here, with your page number. You can also print pages to write on.
Your pages never leave this phone
Write
One gentle prompt and a soft timer. You write by hand in your notebook, then keep the page here.

Release
Type what feels heavy. Let it go. The words dissolve into petals and are not kept.

Move slowly. Press and hold for a bigger bloom.
Ready
when you are
One of five
Name five things you can see
Take your time. Look around the room.
You're here.
You walked your mind through every sense.
You're in your body. You're in this room.
The wave has passed.
What feels heavy?
Write it down. Then let it go.
It's not yours to carry now.
A five-minute reset
Sit comfortably. Let your eyes soften.
Today
A few good words
From history
Women who changed things
A stone for today
Stones are for ritual and beauty. They don't treat anything.
Tonight's sky
Your sign
Write it out
What is on your mind right now?
Your Notebook
Photograph your written pages. Keep them exactly as you wrote them.
