    SPARK ACTION OF THE WEEK

    This week, ask yourself:

    "Where am I spending energy that I don't truly have?"

    Then choose one thing to do differently.

    Maybe it's leaving a gathering early.

    Maybe it's taking a nap.

    Maybe it's ordering takeout.

    Maybe it's saying:

    "I can't do that this week."

    One small adjustment.

    One act of support.

    One reminder that you don't have to earn recovery.

    This week, ask yourself:

    "What is draining me that I haven't acknowledged?"

    Write down three things.

    Then choose one small adjustment.

    Not a complete life overhaul.

    One adjustment.

    One conversation.

    One boundary.

    One release.
