Empathy Economy

Close your eyes.
Your nervous system’s been running a marathon.
Not from movement
From emotion. From noise. From endless asks to care.

You’re not broken for feeling numb.
You’re not cold for needing space.

Scan your body
Is that tightness yours, or something you absorbed?

Now take a breath not to fix, just to pause.
To reclaim a little room inside yourself.

Ask gently:
What’s mine to carry… and what’s not?

You’re allowed to care without crumbling.
You’re allowed to feel without performing.

Your attention is sacred.
Let this be the moment you bring it home.
