✍️ TRY THIS WHEN YOUR BRAIN WON’T SHUT UP
Overthinking again? Spinning in circles? Try this:

📄 Make a list.

Everything you're worried about
Everything you're angry about
Everything you're avoiding
Everything you wish you could say
Write it. Dump it. Get it out of your head and onto paper.
You don’t need to solve it right now—just stop carrying it alone in your mind.

🧠 Brains spiral.
🖊️ Pens process.

Feeling panicky or stuck in a spiral?

🧠 Try this: Go through the alphabet, and for each letter, name as many animals as you can think of.
A… Alligator, Antelope, Armadillo
B… Bear, Bat, Bluebird
C… Cat, Capybara, Crocodile…

Keep going until your mind starts to quiet down.

It gives your brain just enough to focus on—and sometimes, that’s all you need to come back to the present.

📚 Bonus: Kids love this one too.

🌧️ TRY THIS FOR DEPRESSION
Low energy? Feeling stuck in bed? Here's a tip:

✨ Pick one “low-spoon” task and do it badly.

Brush your teeth, but sitting down.
Change your shirt, not your whole outfit.
Eat a snack. It doesn’t have to be a full meal.
Tiny wins still count. You’re doing better than you think.

🫥 TRY THIS WHEN YOU FEEL NUMB
Feeling disconnected? Like you're watching your life on a screen?

Try this:
🔦 Sit somewhere quiet and name what feels good in your body—even if it’s just your socks
🎶 Put on a song you loved as a teen
✍️ Write one sentence: “Right now, I am…”

Numbness is a survival response. You’re not broken. You’re coping.
