S.T.O.P.

When you find yourself being triggered to react to something, use the following technique to take back control and stop the situation from controlling you.

S: Stop for just a moment. Don’t react. Give yourself the gift of brief reflection.

T: Take a breath, focus on breathing in and out. Track your breath. Sense the chest rising and falling.

O: Observe your experience: Notice the sensations in the body. and the thoughts or the story going through your mind and appreciate that thoughts are not facts. Explore your emotions and get a sense of where you are in this moment.

P: Proceed, move forward in a way that feels right to you and is consistent with your values. Remind yourself that you only have a problem when you can’t do anything about it. If you are not taking action, you may be making excuses to not do something about it out of fear and feeling powerless. Take your power back and take the appropriate action.

Trust yourself. Don't let life happen to you.
