Top 5 Ways to Deal with Overstimulation and Emotional Overload:
1. Create Micro-Pockets of “Off Time”
You may not get an hour to yourself. But can you get three minutes in the bathroom without someone knocking? Can you sit in the parked car for five minutes before going inside? Don’t wait for perfect conditions. Take tiny sacred pauses where you can. Even 60 seconds of silence can regulate your nervous system.
2. Use a “Reset Phrase” When You’re About to Break
Pick a go-to phrase that brings you back to the present when you feel like snapping. Something like:
“I’m safe. This is temporary. I can pause.”
It’s not magic—but it can give you just enough space to choose your next move instead of reacting from burnout.
3. Get Touched… On Your Terms
If you’re “touched out” by the end of the day, that doesn’t make you a bad mom. It makes you human. Try telling your kids: “Mommy needs a no-touch minute right now. Let’s do something side-by-side.” Honor your body’s need to take back ownership of your physical space—even with love.
4. Schedule (Not Squeeze In) Something Just for You
This doesn’t have to be a spa day. It could be 20 minutes with your favorite playlist. A solo walk. Reading without multitasking. But it has to be planned—not just hoped for. If it’s not on the calendar, it probably won’t happen. Prioritize yourself like you would a parent-teacher meeting. Because you matter that much.
5. Let Go of the Guilt, Keep the Compassion
You are allowed to feel overwhelmed. You are allowed to want a break. You are allowed to not enjoy every moment. That doesn’t make you ungrateful. That makes you alive. Release the guilt—and replace it with compassion. You’re doing more than enough.
