In a storm, small wins keep the lights on. Make your bed. Answer one email. Eat something green.

When the large problem cannot be solved today, small maintenance stops everything else from sliding with it. Making the bed, eating properly, answering one message do nothing about the crisis and they keep the rest of your life from quietly falling over. That is not denial. It is holding the ground you can still hold.

Pick three small things and do them daily regardless of how the bigger situation looks. Keep the bar low enough that a bad day still clears it. The point is continuity rather than achievement.
