Maintain
Make what helps
easier to return to.
Build on what you learned in Regulate. Choose one useful practice or supportive condition, give it a place in your day, and make a realistic plan for returning when life interrupts.
What You'll Practice
One useful support.
A plan you can return to.
The worksheet takes you through the full practice. Here's the map.
Keep
Choose one practice, condition, or adjustment that has helped you meet a moment.
Anchor
Attach a specific action to a recognizable cue, with a smaller version for difficult days.
Support
Make room in your timing, surroundings, demands, or available support.
Return
Recognize when another check-in would help and plan your next realistic opening.
Review
Look at what proved useful. Keep, simplify, change, or reconsider the plan.
Work With Your Capacity
Useful support.
Flexible practice.
Different days ask different things of you. Keep useful support available while allowing for more energy, less activation, recovery, or a change in demands. A smaller version, planned rest, or a revised routine can be a sensible part of the plan.

Where Maintain Fits
Give useful support

Recognize your state and develop ways to regulate, recover, and keep useful support available.
Clear Mind
Recognize thoughts and patterns with greater perspective.
Strong Life
Make choices that reflect what matters to you.
