A softer way
to begin again.

Small rituals for the moments when starting over feels too hard.

Beginning again does not have to start with discipline.

Like going for a run.
Or washing your hair.
Or going to bed a little earlier.

Not because you are weak.
Because your body may already be carrying more than anyone can see.

Sometimes, it starts with changing the conditions.

A quieter room.

A softer way to hold your hair.

A little more rest before you ask yourself to move.

Something gentle over your eyes when sleep feels far away.
