Feeling overwhelmed?

Try and S.T.O.P.

A great way to help with overwhelm is to get present with what you are currently doing, or not doing. ⁠
⁠
1. S – state
When you notice the feeling, stop, and ask yourself, “why are you feeling overwhelmed?” State the reason out loud why you are feeling that way.

2. T – talk to yourself
Ask questions such as, “Is there one thing I can do right now to feel less overwhelmed?”

3. O – observe your surroundings
Is there something in your surroundings you can change to feel less overwhelmed?
(for example: turn off the TV, turn down the podcast, turn on the music, leave the room)

4. P- present
Focus on getting present with what you are currently doing. Don’t focus on what’s happened in the past or what you still need to do. Take a breath, become aware of where you want to want place your attention intentionally.
