Give your attention somewhere steady to go

When your mind feels restless, a short hands-on activity can create a little space between the feeling and your next choice. Recovery Blocks is designed as an optional reset practice—not a test and not a replacement for support.

Keep the session short and achievable

Choose a brief session and focus on the next move rather than the final result. The point is to practice returning your attention, noticing tension, and beginning again when something does not go as planned.

Notice how you feel afterward

A reset does not have to make everything feel good. Ask whether your body feels a little calmer, your attention feels less stuck, or you have more room to choose what comes next. If the moment still feels unsafe, contact a trusted person or crisis resource.
