Big Feeling / Small Next Step

The feeling is big. The next step can be tiny.

What this is for

A feeling got really big and now everything feels stuck, like nothing can happen until the feeling goes away.

When to use it

Right after a big feeling moment, once the loudest part has passed a little.

What you leave with

One tiny, doable next step, sized to match how big the feeling still is.
