When life’s chaotic, small acts can feel trivial. But sending a message, asking one question, or closing a tab can break the feeling of helplessness. Everyday actions leave tangible proof of progress. buff.ly/hpDX8OY #SmallSteps #MentalWellbeing

Agency isn't forged by telling yourself you're in control. It comes from evidence: "I can pause." "I can choose." "I can act." "I can influence what comes next." Read the full article: buff.ly/hpDX8OY #Resilience #Agency
