🌿 Try a Low-Pressure Challenge This Week
  1. 1Make eye contact and hold it for three seconds before looking away when interacting with someone today (barista, classmate, neighbor, etc.).
  2. 2Practice this with at least 3 different people throughout your day.
  3. 3Notice how it feels to be seen and to see others.
  4. 4Pay attention to any resistance or discomfort you feel.
  5. 5Reflect on how this small act affects your confidence.
💡
Why it works: Low-stakes moments help you practice showing up without overthinking. You don't need perfect words, just the courage to go one step beyond silence.
"Hey, I've seen you around. How's your day going?"
✅ Reflect afterward:
How did it feel? What did you learn about your comfort zone?
🪞 Start with a reflection you can share today
Reflection Prompt:
"What's one small connection that's stuck with you, even if it only lasted a moment?"
Maybe it was someone who held the door, remembered your name, or gave a kind look when you needed it. These moments often pass unnoticed, but they carry something real: recognition, warmth, permission to feel human.

In the Veré app, you can share reflections like this privately with your pod, a small group built for quiet, meaningful exchange.
