Too much activation

Overwhelmed

Everything is too much right now

How it feels

The list is too long, the stimuli are too many, and small things make the cup overflow. Maybe tears are close, maybe anger.

What your body says

Tightness in chest or throat, tears close, heat.

What your system needs now

Less, not more. Right now, support and calm come before any exercise.

1 Arriving in the room

2 minutes
  1. Place both feet firmly on the floor and feel the contact.
  2. Let your gaze wander slowly through the room.
  3. Quietly name five things you can see – and then three things you can hear.

Feel into it

Does the room around you feel a little bigger now?

Good for

when everything hits you at once

2 Hand on your heart

1 minute
  1. Place one hand on your chest, the other on your belly.
  2. You do not have to change your breath – simply let it be there.
  3. Feel the warmth of your hands.
  4. Quietly tell yourself: “All I need to manage right now is this one moment.”

Feel into it

What do you feel underneath your hands?

Good for

anywhere, even discreetly at your desk

3 Less is more

3 minutes
  1. Put your phone away or switch it to silent.
  2. Dim the light or move to a quieter room.
  3. Write down what is due today – and cross one thing off.

Feel into it

How does the shorter list feel?

Good for

when the list is longer than the day
