Emergency kit
Low-energy, low-decision tools for “just get me through today.”
Some days aren’t about growth, insight, or processing.
They’re about survival with a nervous system that’s overloaded and tired.
This emergency kit is for those days.
Nothing here asks you to explain your grief, reframe your thoughts, or be “strong.” These are simple, almost mechanical supports—things you can reach for when your capacity is low and your brain doesn’t want to choose.
Think of this as scaffolding, not solutions.
Tools might include:
- One or two grounding actions you’ve already practiced before (no learning required)
- Short scripts for communication when words feel heavy
- Permission-based checklists that reduce decisions to the bare minimum
- Body-first resets that don’t rely on motivation or belief
If all you can do today is keep yourself fed, watered, and out of emotional freefall—that counts.
This kit isn’t here to move you forward.
It’s here to keep you steady until the day passes.
And sometimes, that’s more than enough.
Save this page somewhere easy to reach on low-capacity days.
