“BREATHING SUCCEED, LISTS FAIL”
“Try to be aware of that I am reacting to some-
thing and that I should analyze the situation
before reacting in a negative way. Calmness is
more often restored much easier if I have not
overreacted and I understand at least some
what I am reacting to just I get to think it over.
I try to see these situations coming if I know by
experience that I think of it as a stressful situa-
tion too so that I know I may not be calm from
the beginning. Sort of to be aware of that this is
a situation that will pass and then better just let
it pass if it something I can't do anything about
(but if a can, do something, anything!).”
“I turn into myself and stop socializing. I cut out “Stop what I'm doing, close my eyes and
all superfluous activities. Unless I'm mad. Then I breathe”
make sure to reach out to friends or engage in
physical activity.”
7. “YES, I WANT TO SHARE BUT DO AS I
SAY NOT AS I DO”
“Not exactly, because
what I'd tell others to do is
different than what I do
when stressed or sad. And
even mad. While i
definitely treat all of the
aforementioned with
yoga and more regular
sleep, the fact that I
inadvertently become
highly introverted is
probabl not a quick fix for
most.”( P)
