A 2-Minute Reset For Overwhelm

I frequently discuss the mental and physical toll that our current way of life takes on us. Our bodies and minds do not down-regulate; we are trapped in an evolutionary cycle, unable to keep pace with the rapid speed of modern life. The relentless pace of technological advancement and constant connectivity heightens this burden, creating an unending barrage of information and demands for our attention. There is too much stimulation and too much instant gratification, which leads to an overwhelming psychological toll; it feels as if we are constantly being pulled in multiple directions.

Finding Anchors

But how do we break this cycle? We need to cultivate patience, which is perhaps the biggest challenge of all. In a world that prioritizes instant gratification, our patience has diminished, and seeking immediate relief has become our primary goal. However, we must learn to embrace slowness and steadiness, relying on the anchors of our existence. These anchors are your breath and your heartbeat—constants that are unchanging and unwavering, with you at all times.

Resilience

By developing practices of calmness and mindfulness, we empower ourselves to tap into these anchors. This enables us to rise above the chaos during stressful moments, restoring our sense of grounded empathy and fostering deeper connections with ourselves and others. Embracing this journey is essential; not only does it enhance our resilience, but it also deepens our understanding of what it truly means to live a fulfilled life in harmony with our natural rhythms.

Remember to start small and be gentle with yourself. Take a moment to connect with your breath and feel your heartbeat. As you learn to recognize your patterns, you can discover simple practices that help you return to your true self. Try this new, quick grounding reset during stressful moments; it can be a comforting anchor in the chaos.

This brief, two-minute practice helps your body shift out of tension and into ease with slow breathing and simple cues to soften the body. You’ll gently down-regulate your nervous system without effort. It’s a quick grounding reset for moments of stress, overwhelm, or emotional heaviness-a small pause that helps you return to yourself.

Namaste.

The tweet promptly went viral, partly for what it said—the idea of #Bowie as cosmic load bearer was, as explanations go, absurd & amusing & plausible—but mostly for what it didn’t. ∗Gestures broadly at everything∗ was a punch line to a joke that was all too familiar. It turned #overwhelm into a knowing melodrama. Soon, people…were posting, emailing, & texting their own versions of Loewy’s stage-whispered aside: [gestures wildly at everything]; <gestures vaguely at everything>; [gestures around].

As autistic people, our nervous systems tend to be more quickly overloaded with the sheer volume of information, which monopolizes the brain’s resources, and drowns out the brain's ability to engage in other activities.

This might be a problem similar to the one I had.

A quotation from John Adams

I am weary of reading Newspapers. The Times are so full of Events, the whole Drama of the World is such a Tragedy that I am weary of the Spectacle.

John Adams (1735-1826) American lawyer, Founding Father, statesman, US President (1797-1801)
Letter (1793-02-27) to Abigail Adams

Across the internet, AI #error messages have emerged as a telltale sign that the writer behind a given piece of content is not human.

Generated by AI tools such as OpenAI’s #ChatGPT when they get a request that goes against their policies, they are a #comical yet #ominous harbinger of an online world that is increasingly the product of AI-authored #spam.


“It’s good that people have a laugh about it, because it is an educational experience about what’s going on,” said Mike Caulfield, who researches misinformation and digital literacy at the University of Washington.

The latest AI language tools, he said, are powering a new generation of #spammy, low-quality content that threatens to #overwhelm the internet unless online platforms and #regulators find ways to rein it in.
