Rebuild meaning
- Clarify values: what matters even when mood is low.
- Choose small commitments aligned with values.
- Reduce numbing and increase nourishment.
- Allow motivation to be a result, not a requirement.
Micro-practice
Ask: ‘What would a values-aligned 10 minutes look like today?’ Then do it.
If you recognise yourself in this, start gently. Change is more sustainable when it is paced and compassionate. If symptoms are persistent, severe, or affecting safety, seeking professional support is appropriate.
