5 simple steps

(S)top what you’re doing, whatever that is. Just let it go for a minute. In this way, you force yourself to reset.

Then, (n)otice what’s going on around you. Try to pause and reflect, giving yourself time to process it.

The next step is to (a)ccept. Accept whatever you’re feeling, even if it overwhelms you a bit. That’s not so crazy, considering it’s the first time you’re trying it. Just allow yourself to feel without judgement.

Now it’s time to go a bit deeper. Become (c)urious. Ask yourself why you’re feeling this way—where is it coming from? What (if anything) can you do about it at this moment?

Once you’ve done that, it’s time to express (k)indness towards yourself and the world around you. Be easier on yourself and others—your problems will seem less difficult. It will be easier to solve them if you’re kind to yourself.
