When You're Overwhelmed

What’s happening

Your nervous system is on overload. Thoughts race, everything feels urgent, and clarity disappears.

What to do

  1. Breathe — slow your breath on purpose
  2. Ground — name 5 things you see, 4 you feel, 3 you hear…
  3. Prioritize — write down everything, then circle the first step only

Action reduces anxiety. Start with something small and visible.
