The day can have a smaller new shape.

An unexpected change can disrupt more than the appointment itself, especially when you had arranged your energy around it. You do not have to rebuild the entire day immediately; choosing a simple next hour can give the rest some room to settle.

ONE SMALL STEP

Decide where you will be and what you will do for the next hour.
