🛑 Feeling overwhelmed? Try the STOP technique!
This evidence-based mindfulness tool can help you break the cycle of reactive responses and create space for more intentional choices. Whether you're dealing with stress at work, conflict in relationships, or just feeling emotionally hijacked, STOP gives you a simple roadmap back to center.
Why it works: This technique engages your prefrontal cortex (the thinking brain) and calms your amygdala (the emotional brain), literally rewiring your stress response over time.
When to use it:
✅ Before responding to a triggering email/text
✅ During an argument with a loved one
✅ When anxiety starts spiraling
✅ Before making an important decision
✅ Anytime you feel "hijacked" by emotions
Pro tip: Practice STOP during calm moments too! Like any skill, it gets stronger with repetition. Try it during pleasant experiences - while drinking your morning coffee or watching a sunset.
The beautiful thing about this technique? It takes less than 60 seconds but can completely shift your day.
