Seed: Courage
“Courage is the quiet yes to what is true.”
Courage doesn’t shout. It’s the steady alignment of the heart when the world gets loud.
Before you water…
Place a hand over your heart. Inhale for four, hold for two, exhale for six. Whisper: “I will move gently — and still move.”
What do you water it with?
Let yourself be held.
Support doesn’t fix — it steadies. Sometimes it’s a message, a cup of tea, a paw on your knee, or your own breath that anchors you.
Your presence is already medicine.
Gardener’s word: List three forms of support you already have today — even the quiet ones.
Meet the voice that sneers.
Mockery — from others or within — tries to shrink your space of action. Courage names it, lowers its volume, and chooses a different tone.
Boundary: “I hear you, but I will not act from you.”
Gardener’s word: Write the sentence of mockery you hear most often — then rewrite it as a boundary.
Turn pressure into direction.
Pressure gathers around what matters. Choose one tiny truthful action you can take within the next 24 hours.
Completion builds proof.
Gardener’s word: Name the micro-step and the first gesture that will begin it.
Seed: Courage
