18 things that really run

Every one of these works in your browser, with nothing sent anywhere and no account of any kind. What you tick or type is kept on this device only.

Chapter 3 · Your Dashboard Lights

Do a dashboard check

Go quiet for a second, then press the light that is blinking.

Chapter 4 · Polish Your Gate

The two-song sweep

Two real minutes, one quarter of your mouth at a time.

Chapter 5 · Rinse Off the Day

The rinse list

All the little corners — tick each one as you scrub it.

Chapter 6 · A Clear Deck

The ten-things game

Two minutes on the clock. Can you beat your record?

Chapter 7 · Fill the Tank

Fill the tank

Every glass you drink today, and how full your tank is.

Chapter 8 · Good Fuel, Happy Engine

Grow-fuel or zoom-fuel?

Fifteen fuels. No score to be ashamed of — just noticing.

Chapter 9 · Let the Engine Run

Shake the wiggles out

Ten seconds of shaking, then count your own engine.

Chapter 10 · Plug In and Recharge

The power-down

A guided body scan with a breath to follow, one part at a time.

Chapter 11 · I Am Healthy

My Machine Check

Her nine, ticked off — and a streak that keeps itself.

Tool 1 · My Amazing Mind

Your Feelings Are Messengers

Pick the feeling you have right now and hear what it came to tell you, then thank it.

Tool 2 · My Amazing Mind

Your Calm Button

A breathing pacer you breathe along with — smell the flower in, blow the candle out — and a calm word you choose and keep.

Tool 3 · My Amazing Mind

Thoughts Are Like Clouds

Write a thought that is bothering you, watch it drift right across the sky and go — and see that the sky is still there.

Tool 4 · My Amazing Mind

The Movie in Your Mind

Real director’s controls — size, brightness, colour and distance — on a picture you name yourself.

Tool 5 · My Amazing Mind

The Magic Word

Type the thing you can’t do. The machine adds the word, says it back out loud, and keeps your list of yets.

Tool 6 · My Amazing Mind

Meet Future You

Write to future you about today, and let future you write back. Both are kept.

Tool 7 · My Amazing Mind

Kind Words Make a Kind World

Say the kind thing to yourself first — then say the same sentence to your best friend and see they are the same sentence.
