Lead with rhythm—these prompts will help you shift from pressure to peace:
- Spot It: Where are you expecting yourself to do it all? What feels unsustainable?
- Reframe It: What season are you in—and what deserves to lead right now?

- Live Lift (1 day): Let that priority lead today. Let the rest follow without guilt.
- Harmony Cue (Ongoing): Use a symbol (a music note, calendar color, or breath) to remind yourself: “Rhythm over pressure.”
