Responsible Use

Start by naming the trigger (what happened), the story (what it means), and the behavior (what you do next). That trio is the fastest way to stop guessing and start adjusting. If shame shows up, treat it as a signal to slow down, not a verdict. Look for one lever you can pull today—sleep, boundaries, a script, or a single conversation. Next: pick one article and follow it for 48 hours before you judge it. If you feel stuck, shrink the goal to a 10‑minute experiment and repeat it three times before changing strategies.
