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.

I really wish we had four day work weeks in the US.

But that does seem like a minor issue at the moment.

Although I slept kind of a lot the last few weeks (with ups and downs of course) my energy levels are pretty low. Hard to blame that all on accumulated fatigue through running or work/life stress, but I'm a little at a loss to figure out what's going on. #running #fatigue #energy #workstress

How MS Edge’s Immersive Reader Helps Me Slow Down

We all probably know the drill of a typical workday: back-to-back meetings, side conversations in team chats about some other topics, drafting & scanning emails, creating Jira issues, and juggling multiple project threads. The sheer volume of information coming in such a short time can be challenging.

Normally, this isn’t an issue for me. But sometimes I find myself struggling to read long texts in the middle of these high-intensity stretches. Not because I lack the time, but because my mind is already racing ahead to the next thing. I can’t seem to slow it down. This is annoying and, to be honest, a little frightening, because I realise that my mind is in a very short-cycle mode – clear evidence that I’m under stress.

Over time, I’ve found a simple trick that helps: Microsoft Edge’s Immersive Reader mode. I don’t just use it to declutter the according web page. I let the browser read the text out loud to me.

Yes, that’s right! I hit the play button, lean back, and keep my hands off the mouse and keyboard to avoid getting distracted by other tabs or windows.

It forces me to slow down and listen instead of skimming the whole page. It eliminates the temptation to jump between paragraphs or skim entire sections. It enforces a slower pace that I have to accept. At first, it’s a bit of a struggle – but I’ve come to realize: it helps me to calm down a bit.

If you ever feel overwhelmed by the sheer speed of work, maybe give it a try. Sometimes, all we need is a different approach to regain control.

The first week back at work after a vacation. It has been a rough one. It’s always rough, but this week has been extra rough.

I was hoping it would end quietly and mercifully but I just got asked to join a 3:00pm meeting and it’s going to stress me out and piss me off and I am not looking forward to it.

10 minutes left before I have to join the conference call.

Crud.

Update: I got fired #Anxiety #WorkStress

Getting a meeting invite from a manager simply titled "Chat" gives me so much anxiety, I've barely slept. Today will be a victory if I'm still employed afterwards. Because I'm always assuming the worst. Good job, brain. #Anxiety #WorkStress

Two weeks ago I had a conversation with my boss saying I felt undervalued and my job growth was stagnating. I wanted more opportunities to prove myself, lamented I had no mentor.

This past week my boss goes on 3 day vacation. Within hours, my coworker, who btw is given all kinds of opportunities and is essential, sends me an email asking if I would please make a list of my reports to give to the new guy so he can convert them to SQL because “it will be a good learning experience.”

I was mad. No one trusts me, I’m being passed over. I went to my boss’ boss and asked why. I was told again it would be a good learning experience for the new guy. Completely dismissed me & failed to recognize I was upset I was being passed over and my reports were targeted.

I LITERALLY have spent every waking moment since Friday at 6AM converting the reports myself and actually making them better. I’m 60% of done. I’m exhausted and emotionally drained.

I've tinkered with the last chapter of the WIP tonight. Added a line here and there, tweaked a sentence. It's the most writing I've done in several weeks, and it was very satisfying.

That counts as #writing, right? I'm frustrated by how slow my progress is on this WIP but I don't think it's the story's fault. It's me. Hi, I'm the problem, it's me.

Three weeks ago I was told to start a new project, take one of my LARGE existing monthly reports and streamline it so it could be run weekly. I’m the only one who knows how to do this report. I asked what were we keeping, what changes needed to made, and I proposed several fancy additions that both made it better and easier to run.
I kept asking, where is the road map to the project, I need to get started. Radio silence. Today: We have an August deadline, Tuesday is August, where are we at with this very large project?
I get an angry toned email back saying we need more info — they could have asked all this weeks ago! Meanwhile I moved forward. Now they’re going to throw the brakes on everything and I’m going to have start from scratch with only two days before the deadline! Next week, when I am slow in delivering, they will be asking why they don’t have a product and they’ll conveniently forget how I was trying to work this early. 😡 #WorkStress

Repost from previous instance…

This might seem weird but I keep a daily log of how many emails are in my inbox and how many items are in my ToDo app. Collectively they form my 'Barometer of stress'.

This doesn't help me directly reduce the number of emails or ToDo items, but it gives me a chance to step back and realise 'yep this is an abnormally busy time' and that helps me.

The big email spike in 2022 was from taking a two-week holiday.

I received this many emails between 5:30 on Friday and 7:20 this morning. 75 are from my boss.
I’m literally a shill for an accounting firm; I am not working on the cure for cancer. What in the name of hell is wrong with these people.
