Befriend Your
Overwhelm
Move and breathe to calm your body. Then, make a healthy choice.
First, give yourself a BIG HUG and then wiggle into it more.
Next, brush off your arms like you’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.
And then take 3 deep 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?
