What to do when you feel overwhelmed? I get this question a ton. Essentially, it's breathing. It's stopping for a second, noticing your breath, noticing what you're sitting on if you're sitting, noticing the ground if you're standing, noticing the sounds around you, noticing the air on your skin, noticing how your heart beats, noticing what's really going on around you physically. That's what you need to do when you feel overwhelmed.
