Mondays can hit hard in life after suicide loss—protect capacity with tiny yes/no lines and one clear choice.
Journal prompt: “One thing my body asked for (and what I did)…”
Mondays can hit hard. Today we protect capacity with tiny, professional yes/no lines.
A Flicker (Hope) — One clear choice
Choosing “later” instead of forcing “now” can bring instant relief. That relief is data—keep it.
To Rebuild (Healing) — Three office scripts
Inbox: “I’ll review and reply by EOD/Wednesday.”
Meeting: “I can do 20 minutes; what’s the priority?”
Focus: “Heads-down for the next hour—will circle back after.”
Take a Step (Becoming) — Bookend your day
Add two 5-minute blocks to your calendar: Start-Up (water, orient, top 1 task) and Shut-Down (close tabs, summarize, tomorrow’s first brick).
Choose-your-energy menu:
Food for Thought Today:
Professional clarity is humane—to you and everyone else. Boundaries reduce confusion, and less confusion means less activation. Let the calendar and the sentence do the heavy lifting.
Exhale. Keep what serves you; leave the rest. I’ll be here again tomorrow. 💜
