The idea behind this card — HALT

When everything feels wrong at once, check the gauges first: hungry, angry, lonely, tired. Half of everything is usually one of the four.

GROUND — The healing body and the immediate day

The practice

run the check out loud: hungry? angry? lonely? tired? Fix the one that answers — a sandwich, a walk, a call, a nap — then re-ask how bad everything is. Gauge first, verdict second.

Where this idea comes from
