The method

Pocket Practice

Small practices for real moments.
Each Pocket Practice is designed to help you notice your inner state, shift your baseline, and return to yourself — one breath, step, or reframe at a time.

Baseline Check-in

A simple way to notice where your nervous system is before the day carries you forward.
Use the 1–10 baseline scale to name your state, track your patterns, and practice returning with more ease.

Check Your Baseline


Start here

Baseline Check-in

Your baseline is the level of activation your nervous system is carrying in this moment.

Throughout the day, pause and notice:
Is your body calm or tense?
Is your mind clear or scattered?
Are you steady, reactive, overwhelmed, or disconnected?

Use the scale beside you to name where you are — not as a judgment, but as a starting point.

Once you know your baseline, choose the practice that helps you return closer to calm, clarity, and connection.


Pocket practice

Once you know your baseline, choose the practice that best supports what you need in this moment. There is no perfect order. Return often, notice what changes, and build a practice that is your own.

Each Pocket Practice offers a simple way to pause, regulate, and return with intention.

Begin with one.

Over time, these small moments become a way of caring for your nervous system.
