    Consistency starts with body awareness — track breath, posture, and energy before acting.

    Creative consistency thrives when the nervous system feels safe.

    Productivity isn’t about willpower — it’s about physiological safety and nervous system support.

    Your body leads, not your to-do list — trust signals over schedules.
