What shipped

Fourteenth Japanese page on Wellbeing Compass — a guided progressive muscle relaxation (PMR) practice. Edmund Jacobson’s classic technique systematically tenses and releases muscle groups so the body learns the contrast between tension and ease; it is a staple brief intervention for anxiety, stress, and sleep-onset difficulty. Sonnet’s JA page walks the user through timed phases rather than dumping a static checklist.

Why it matters

JA interactive/practice toolkit now spans ten tools: thought-record (CBT), safety-plan (crisis), grounding/breath (in-the-moment regulation), activity-planner (behavioral activation), three-good-things (gratitude), mood-tracker (self-monitoring + trend), self-compassion-break (Neff/Germer MSC, stateless), worry-time (Borkovec stimulus-control), sleep-diary (CBT-I efficiency tracking), and progressive-muscle-relaxation (Jacobson PMR, timed guided). Pairs cleanly with grounding and worry-time as a body-first regulation lane. Privacy-first brief-intervention stack, natively in Japanese.
