Opening sample

First pass from the workshop. Not the ending.

Imagine your mind as a complex machine, with gears and levers that need regular maintenance to function smoothly. Just as a car requires oil changes and tire rotations, your brain needs regular checks and repairs. This book is your repair shop in your head, a toolkit for self-care and mental resilience. Each chapter will guide you through the process of troubleshooting your own mental health, helping you to identify and address issues before they become overwhelming. Begin by taking a moment to reflect on your current state. Notice the small sensory details that accompany your feelings.
