Day 5: Your Avoidance Menu

Today's prompt

List your top 3 avoidance tactics. What do you reach for when you don't want to feel something? Phone? Food? Work? Sleep? Humor? Write them down in order of frequency.

Read the prompt above twice. Once fast, once slow. Notice what your first reaction wants to be. That reaction is data.

No judgment here. Everyone has an avoidance menu. Knowing yours is the first step to choosing differently.

You can sit with this for 5 minutes today and put it down. You can come back tomorrow. There's no completion gate, no streak, no score. The work is the reward — and the work is just paying attention to what came up when you read it.

adaptive, evolving

“No judgment here. Everyone has an avoidance menu. Knowing yours is the first step to choosing differently.”

In the app, Ember adapts to how you're showing up — softer when you need it, sharper when you're hiding.

ILTY pulls quotes from your sessions verbatim. On Day 31, you'll see Day-1 you next to Day-31 you — your own words, side by side.
