This is the exercise

Tonight's practice

  1. Settle for 3 natural breaths and name tonight's focus: depressive symptoms and relapse risk.
  2. Practice Mindful movement by sitting quietly for 3 minutes, then naming how depressive symptoms and relapse risk appears in thought, body, and behavior tonight.
  3. Each person answers in one minute: where did depressive symptoms and relapse risk show up today, and what changed when we met it through Mindful movement?
  4. The listener reflects back only what they heard, without fixing, debating, or diagnosing.
  5. Close by choosing one small, non-medical action that supports depressive symptoms and relapse risk tonight. This is the day 315 commitment.
