When you feel you don’t have control
Write in a free-flowing, stream of consciousness style—let your thoughts pour out without editing, without concern for spelling or grammar. This space is just for you, to explore freely and without judgment.
Start with a list: What can you control right now? Think of everything, from small choices (like what you watch on TV) to meaningful actions (who you spend time with, the food you cook, the words you choose). Allow yourself to feel the power in these decisions, however small.
Reflect on your impact: What are the ways you can brighten or support your community? Even simple gestures—a kind word, a smile at some in the grocery store—can have a ripple effect.
Write down the ways you can make an impact in your community, even something as small as smiling at someone in the grocery store.
