I felt the most awkward when I had the most comfort. So I left my 9-5 and looked for challenges instead. Over time I learned to:

→ Overcome imposter syndrome → Rebalance my loss aversion → Unblock homeostasis → Embrace more risk

Consistently stepping out of my comfort zone has been key to my success as a Digital Independent.

There's a lot going on right now. Sometimes I get to the end of the day and realize I've barely taken a real breath all day.

Taking a few deep breaths helps me ease some of that tension. It sounds easy. It's weirdly not.

So I made this for the Figma Make + Contra Challenge — one screen, one button, and just enough to keep your mind from wandering.
