4. “Rest Is Productive” Instead of “I’ll Rest When I’m Done”

Your brain needs breaks. Your body needs downtime.
Rest isn’t something you earn — it’s something you require to function well.
This mindset makes downtime intentional, not guilty.

5. “What’s the Smallest Step?” Instead of “Where Do I Start?”

Big tasks become manageable when you shrink them.
Open the document. Fill one glass of water. Put on your running shoes.
Momentum starts from tiny actions. Once you begin, the rest follows naturally.

6. “It’s a Bad Moment, Not a Bad Day”

One stressful hour doesn’t define the whole day.
Give yourself permission to reset: take a walk, breathe deeply, change environments.
A bad moment can stay a moment — if you don’t carry it with you.
