Sophia Morning Anxiety Ritual Protocol

Morning anxiety often feels like it owns the day before you've had a chance to set intentions. A brief, structured writing ritual — before email, before news, before social media — reclaims that first window. Private, offline, and faster than a cup of coffee.
