What matters, one step

What matters, one step offers one bounded practice step without promising a particular feeling or outcome.

Use when: uncertainty, low confidence

How the practice works

1. Read the frame What matters, one step is an educational self-help exercise. It does not diagnose or guarantee an outcome.
2. Name the situation Name one specific present situation without unnecessary identifying details.
3. Record what you notice What is one honest observation or next behaviour you choose?
