A Quick Way to Name What You're Actually Feeling Tonight

If you've ever felt off at the end of the day with nothing you can point to, this is the practical version: a short way to work out what's actually going on before you decide it's nothing or blow it into something bigger.

It starts with a pause and a first guess at a word — not the deep cause, just a more specific name than stressed or tired. Try it on, see if it fits, try another if it doesn't. Once something lands, one small question follows: does this specific feeling need anything right now, or was naming it enough for tonight.

It only takes a minute or two, and most nights, that's the whole job.
