Survival mode switch OFF ๐๐ผ
Recognising you're in survival mode is the first step.
The second? Doing something small to bring yourself back.
Here are a few things that actually help:
๐ Note down what triggered the feeling, awareness is everything.
๐งโโ๏ธ Take 3 slow, deep breaths, your nervous system is literally listening.
๐ฑ Put the screen down, your brain needs the break more than you know.
๐ชฃ Tidy your space, a calmer environment creates a calmer mind.
๐ Write your jobs down, so your brain can stop holding onto them.
๐ถโโ๏ธ Get outside and walk, even 10 minutes shifts something.
๐ผ Get creative, this one's hard for me too, but I lean in and try anyway.
None of these need to be perfect. They just need to happen.
I hope at least one feels most doable for you in your day.
