One of my management techniques is to recognize and always remind myself that hypervigilance isn't an all or nothing thing.....it varies in intensity. Some days are worse than others, but that inevitably means that some must be better, too. It helps to keep me optimistic. The other thing I do is find solitude. When I'm out, that can be a challenge, but I've even used a washroom stall as a solitude container. Best would be quiet, dark, and private, but private sometimes is all I can find. Then I just take a time out. I don't wear a watch, so timeouts follow a more natural course.
