π§· Pinpoint sources of overwhelm and why they stress you out. We have to know what weβre dealing with before we can make changes.
βοΈ Name & accept all the feelings and thoughts present. Journaling is a great way to get it all out.
π Use mindfulness to get grounded and resourced in the present moment. Try out this meditation: cal.mn/overwhelm
ποΈ Double down on self-care, & be extra kind to yourself. Most importantly, REST.
