OVERWHELM?

Overwhelm happens when the demands we face feel bigger than our capacity to handle them. Do not spiral down!

MANAGE YOUR OVERWHELMING THOUGHTS & FEELINGS

• TEMPERATURE
• INTENSE EXCERCISE
• PAUSED BREATHS—try rhythmic breathing (5 seconds in, 5 seconds out) to calm your nervous system.
• PROGRESSIVE MUSCLERELAXATION
• CHANGE SELF_TALK—replace "I am so overwhelmed" with "I feel challenged by this situation, but it will pass."
• GROUND YOUR SENSES- BACK TO BEING PRESENT
• WRITE—EXCERCISE YOUR BRAIN MUSCLES AND BRINGS CLARITY VIA UNLOADING ALL
• POMODORO IT—BREAK DOWN IN TASKS: 20 minutes of work/5 of rest
• JUST START SMALL—"ONE SMALL STEP FOR A MAN, A GIANT STEP FOR MANKIND"

The HUMAN experience brings OVERWHELMING feelings and thoughts. PAUSE to NAVIGATE and STRATEGIZE solutions.
