Licensed clinical social worker Shari B. Kaplan shows how to handle daily overwhelm by breaking your day into one-hour blocks and using breath work to regulate at the start. She focuses on choosing how you relate to stress rather than eliminating it, and setting an intention for each hour to feel calm and energized.
It's a decision how you want to relate to whatever the stressor is, but you do have to choose. And especially when you're under that level of stress each and every day, you do have to make the decision. And as you start your day, you do have to take some breaths, have some regulation tools, recalibrate yourself and say, I'm going to move forward from here. I want to feel peaceful and calm instead. I want to feel energized. And I want to enjoy what I do over the next hour. And sometimes you have to break your day down that way.
