How to use it
The 90-second morning walk.
Pick one question
Just one. Read it before you leave the house, or at the bus stop.
Walk with it
Don’t force an answer. Let it sit in your pocket for a minute of the walk.
Notice one thing
A thought, a face, a feeling. Whatever the question turned up.
Choose one ripple
One small action for today. Tick it off on the tracker tonight.
A look inside · Question 1
What am I carrying that isn’t mine to carry today?
On the street: The street hands us other people’s storms. Name what isn’t yours so your shoulders can drop a fraction.
Journal (3 lines): List three weights. Circle the one that isn’t yours. Write one sentence returning it.
The Ripple: Put one borrowed worry down before you leave the house.

The seven
All seven questions, at a glance.
- What am I carrying that isn’t mine to carry today?
- Which story am I telling myself before anyone else speaks?
- Where did I rush past something that deserved a second look?
- Who needs a smaller kindness than I think I’m able to give?
- What would “enough” look like before noon?
- If this feeling had a street name, what would it be called?
- What one different direction would my future neighbour thank me for?
