The primary Brave Harbor tool

The Mooring
Lines.

The connections that keep us from drifting.

Check Your Lines

The core idea

Drift rarely happens all at once.

A call you stop answering. A place you stop going. A practice you let disappear. A purpose you stop remembering. A truth you start avoiding.

The Mooring Lines helps you notice the drift before it carries you farther than you intended.

Five lines

What is still holding you.

You do not need to strengthen everything today. You need to see clearly which line needs attention first.

01

People

Who keeps me connected?

The people I can reach, answer honestly, sit beside, ask for help, or allow to challenge me when I begin pulling away.

02

Places

Where can I regain footing?

The environments that interrupt isolation, chaos, or automatic reaction and make it easier to think clearly.

03

Practices

What actions bring me back?

Routines and actions that reconnect me with myself and change the direction of the drift.

04

Purpose

What am I trying not to lose sight of?

The people, values, commitments, possibilities, and future that matter enough to keep moving toward.

05

Truth

What reality do I need to stop avoiding?

The facts I need to stay connected to even when they are uncomfortable.
