It has to be your first thing you before making conclusions or decisions about your life and yourself. You do your worst thinking when you’re stressed. Regulation first, analysis second. When you are dysregulated, you are essentially in that fight-flight-freeze state we’ve all heard of. And it’s incredibly hard to think positively, be confident, be calm and ultimately be the most mentally healthy version of you that you want to be. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61077a26ec045f064bb4a8f1/1717109644427-MC5M53IE5PM5QFBNWITW/image-asset.jpeg Mental Health Blog - When it’s all too much… Unveiling the true causes of overwhelm + daily creative strategies for mental health - 3. Rituals + Strategies: How do you begin and end the day? Build a ritual just for yourself to signal hello yes we are safe, let’s begin and end safely. (maybe it’s lovvvvving that cup of coffee in the morning and having it as your special time, you’re all in mindfully) For when you are stressed or notice those anxious/negative thought spirals - Make a list of 5 things you can do to break the spiral. Make the list when you’re not overwhelmed, so you can quickly look at it and go YEP i’m doing that thing to break the cycle before I become too dysregulated. Mine is always step away —> Go outside without my phone if possible —> When not possible, have a shower, stretch, have a cup of tea to recenter. Deep breathing Ya…. Boring I know, but breath = life and if you’re not breathing properly (which you’re prob not if you’re wound up), you’re likely continuing on the path of stress (visualising white smoke all over you can help for me but each their own) Focussing or distracting self visually (signals of safety for your body) - Staring at a point on the wall can do if there is nothing else nice you can do in your environment We all fluctuate in our regulation throughout the day, that’s natural - but its when you’re getting stuck/so quick to react that it is an issue. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61077a26ec045f064bb4a8f1/1716173112147-9BP3AWR6EP8IBCZTFYCR/_DSF1925.jpg Mental Health Blog - When it’s all too much… Unveiling the true causes of overwhelm + daily creative strategies for mental health - Thank you so much for being here.

How can I ground or soothe myself right now? You do your worst thinking when you’re panicking. Regulation first, analysis second. What would this mean about me if it all went wrong? Would I be stupid, a failure, a dork? Do I genuinely feel incapable? Am I unsupported in my job? Can I get support elsewhere? Can I structure things to feel more safe? Or do I feel I am incapable at some level anyway, and this would confirm that fear? Sorry… that was a brutal prediction but it may be true.. How can I make one small (!!) move toward the thing/situation/conversation to get momentum out of my freeze/overwhelm? BABY STEPS! How can I show myself through DOING that I am capable? eg. That one little thing then the next little thing then when it’s all done… REFLECT ON HOW COOL AND CAPABLE YOU ARE! Know that your worth is not reflected by the success or failure of this thing. This thing is going to go how it’s going to go. Do your little part. Do not (please!) take the outcome as a reflection on you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/61077a26ec045f064bb4a8f1/1716173112147-9BP3AWR6EP8IBCZTFYCR/_DSF1925.jpg Mental Health Blog - Anxiety and Overwhelm: A Guide for Increasing Low Confidence - Thank you so much for being here.
