When I’m overwhelmed and have a lot on my mind, I make a list and pause.

Yes. I take a pause.

•I watch a Marvel movie or something with supernatural elements instead of anything serious.

•I polish my nails.

•Eat a lot of veggies, fresh fruits and drink lots of water.

•I rest, get plenty of sleep.

•I do this self care for about 3 days.

I learned that being overwhelmed triggers my depression….hashimoto and so on.

Also taking a step back and focusing on self care will help make sure I H.A.L.T. first.

Afterwards, I wake up feeling refreshed and ready to be productive.

Thursday morning I felt like this and spent two hours typing up e-mails.

Then I washed my laundry and went to the library.

I practiced my Native Indigenous language and discussed plans for Kwanzaa.

I’ve been dealing with anxiety. I pause and the burning in my chest stops.
