Overwhelm Reset: When Everything Feels Like Too Much

A 5-minute reset for when everything is just too much.

You aren’t a "bad person" for being overwhelmed.

You’re just a human who has reached their limit.

The TV is too loud. The lights are too bright. Someone asks you a simple question about dinner, and it feels like the weight of the world just dropped on your chest. Small things start causing big reactions, and you feel closer to snapping than usual.

We tend to think this means we can’t handle stress. In reality, it’s a capacity issue: your nervous system has shifted into "protective mode" because the noise, decisions, and demands have stacked up too high. Everything feels urgent and loud because your system is shouting for rest.

When your emotional threshold is reached, you don't need "fixing"—you just need space.

I made this for the moment you realize you can’t keep being "on" for everyone else.

It’s the 1-Page Overwhelm Reset: a low-effort, high-relief tool to help you reduce the noise and find grounding when the world feels too loud.

It gives you a 2-minute sensory reset, and a 60-second check-in so you can breathe again.
