How I Reset After My Brain Goes Into Overdrive

Ever had one of those mornings where you spill coffee on your shirt, get a passive-aggressive email, and suddenly everything feels like too much? That’s me, more often than I’d like to admit. Here’s what I actually do to pull myself out of that spiral: • I scribble down everything that’s bugging me, then cross off what I can actually do something about. Sometimes I even burn the list (safely!)—it’s weirdly satisfying. • When I catch myself expecting perfection (from myself or anyone else), I remind myself that nobody’s nailing it 24/7. Flaws are just part of the package. • If someone’s vibe is dragging me down, I try to spend less time with them or steer the chat to something lighter. • I keep a gratitude list on my phone for when my brain wants to dwell on the bad stuff. Even “good coffee” or “funny cat video” counts. What’s your go-to trick for snapping out of a funk? #MindsetShift #StayPositive #EverydayWins #Health #MentalHealth
