IF YOU'RE IN IT RIGHT NOW
One step. Just this one.
You don't have to figure anything out right now. You don't have to feel better. You only have to do one small thing with the next minute.
TRY THIS
Feel your feet.
Notice the ground under your feet. Don't do anything about it. Just notice.
Press one foot a little harder into the floor. Now the other. Feel the difference.
That's it. You're still here. That was the whole practice.
IF YOU'RE NOT SAFE
This isn't a substitute for real help.
If you're thinking about ending your life, or you can't keep yourself safe right now, please reach out to someone trained to sit with you. You don't have to explain everything. You just have to call.
