A Question I got from an Advisory Member: What do you do in moments that you are overwhelmed? In my case I can get easily emotionally overwhelmed due to small things like a rejection, which leads to me overthinking, then cascading into trauma issues. I know that journalling, etc helps in the long run, but what would you recommend to do in the moment for this? I'm sick of this happening randomly. Also I want to know what to do about it when at work too (especially here). === MY ANSWER === Having systems that build and maintain your mental strength, such as journalling, will provide a long term improvement. But it doesn't help in the short term...right? It can! In my view, journalling and meditation work in the short term as well. If I am feeling too upset to sleep, I will literally journal for an hour or more to get the emotional "heat" out of the system. Nothing to be ashamed about - this is a tool, and any man (or woman) can use it. My framework for emotional off-loading: 1. What happened and why are you upset? 2. Is there something good that can come from this? 3. Should I change my behaviors as a result of this? (often, the answer is no) 4. Can I get stronger as a result of this? Regards, KR
