Tending the Roots
Before you begin
Have a glass of water within reach. This practice pairs reflection with one real act of self-maintenance.
The practice, step by step — read it all first if you like
Inventory
Check the roots: Have I eaten? Drunk water? Slept? Moved? Spoken to a human? Answer honestly.
Choose one
Pick the single most neglected root — not the most virtuous, the most neglected.
Tend it
Tend that root now in miniature: drink the water, schedule the early night, text the friend.
Bless the small
Acknowledge the act as restoration, however unglamorous it looked.
Accessibility
Every tending option has a seated or low-energy version; choose what your body allows.
