Befriend Your
Overwhelm
Move and breathe to calm your body. Then, make a healthy choice.Ā
Ā
First, give yourself a BIG HUG and then wiggle into it more.
Ā Next,Ā brush off your arms like youā€™re trying to get cat hair off of your shirt.
Next, pat your legs all the way down and up again.
Next, make a circle in your hand for as long as you need. Try to make your circle go slower and slower, to the pace of your breath.
Ā And then takeĀ 3 deepĀ breaths to shrink your overwhelm to the size of a jellybean. Just turn on the sound and press play.
Overwhelm helps you slow down and focus on an immediate need. Do you need a break? Give yourself 10 minutes.
What do you need?
