Part 2: Holding On / Survival Mode

Summary:

After shock comes the struggle to hold yourself together. Survival isn’t pretty — but it’s sacred. Stability comes from routine and protective choices.

Actionable Items:

⏰ Build a 3-step routine: One thing to move your body, one to feed your soul, one to soothe your mind.

🚫 Set boundaries: Say “no” to people, tasks, and thoughts that deplete you.

🔒 Create a “safe container” list: What helps you feel calm? (e.g. a bath, silence, tea, grounding music)
