This is not another module.
This is a holding pattern.
Sustain exists to protect gains when life pressure increases or capacity dips.
You are not rebuilding here.
You are maintaining.
Purpose
This page keeps the system intact during stress, setbacks, or limited capacity.
It prevents backsliding without forcing progress.
How to use Sustain
Maintain the habits and boundaries you established in the modules
Reduce scope instead of quitting
Keep effort proportional to current capacity
Protect sleep, regulation, and basic structure
Sustain is what you use when progress would cost more than it gives.
What this is not
This is not:
A place to add new practices
A restart
A punishment for slowing down
A signal that you failed
Stability sometimes means holding, not advancing.
Completion rule
You remain in Sustain until:
Capacity stabilizes
Pressure decreases
Forward movement feels possible without force
When that is true, you proceed.
Proceed to Integration
Ascended From Ashes – Integration
Integration closes the system.
This page exists to consolidate what was rebuilt and clearly hand off to the next phase.
No looping.
No restarting.
Purpose
Integration stabilizes gains and clarifies what comes next.
It prevents drifting back into survival mode after the system is complete.
What integration means here
Ascended From Ashes is finished
You are no longer in collapse recovery
The system has done its job
You do not keep “working” this system.
You carry it forward.
What happens next
From here, you either:
Maintain stability using Sustain as needed
Enter Unfazed to deepen regulation and composure
Return to Systems Home to choose your next system intentionally
No automatic escalation.
Important constraints
Do not restart Ascended unless collapse conditions return.
Do not turn this into ongoing self-monitoring.
Do not chase optimization here.
Completion matters.
Completion rule
Integration is complete when:
The system no longer occupies daily attention
Stability holds without constant effort
You feel oriented, not urgent
At that point, you move on.
