Ride out an emotional wave

Urges tend to peak and then fall. This exercise helps you observe rather than act.

You can stop at any point, and nothing has to be finished.

Every question here is optional. Answer what feels useful and leave the rest.

Step 1 of 4

Name the urge

What are you being pulled to do right now?

or
Step 2 of 4

Watch it rise

Where does it live in the body? Warm, cold, tight, buzzing? Just observe.

or
Step 3 of 4

Ride the wave

Urges peak and pass. Set a timer for 10 minutes and watch it change.

or
Step 4 of 4

After the wave

What happened? What did you notice?

or
Stop for now

You can leave this exercise whenever you like. Nothing is saved unless you choose to save it.
