30-day In-the-moment reset
Build a 30-day in-the-moment skill: when you get upset, let the thought pass instead of following it into anger.
Upset moments met with a return
The same Highway skill, sequenced for real situations: notice the heated thought, let it pass, and return before you follow it into the fight.
For the moment you start to get angry, upset, or spun up: one short move you can use in real life.
Program outcomes are practice goals for a self-guided observer habit. CONA is not therapy, diagnosis, crisis support, or a promised medical result.
