Episode Synopsis
In today’s episode, we’re diving into a powerful technique from positive psychology that can help you navigate those moments when you feel triggered or overwhelmed. It’s called the STOP method, and it stands for Stop, Take Care of Yourself, Observe, and Proceed.
✨ STOP Method Breakdown:
Stop: When you start feeling triggered, pause whatever you’re doing. This is your moment to hit the brakes and create a space between the trigger and your response.
Take Care of Yourself: Use gentle somatic release techniques to help calm your nervous system and bring you back to the present moment.
Observe: Take a step back and observe what’s happening both inside and around you. What happened just before you became triggered? Which of your needs isn't getting met? This awareness is key to understanding your reaction.
Proceed: With a clearer mind, decide how you can best get your need met. Choose a response that aligns with your values and what makes the most sense for your circumstances. Take the action that requires the least amount of energy or feels intuitively right.
🌱 Why This Matters:
Life can be overwhelming, and we all have moments where we feel triggered. Whether it’s a stressful situation at work, a conflict in a relationship, or just a bad day, the STOP method offers a simple yet effective way to regain control and respond with intention.
