"Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast." I try to break things down into really tiny bits. That way I can make small progress towards my goals without getting overwhelmed by how much there's left to do. I take them on one bit at a time. And I often have to pause to re-regulate my nervous system bc I notice it start to activate. Practicing yoga has helped a lot. Somatic body-based activities help me discharge body tension that builds up and reduces my window of tolerance. Yoga helps me expand it a bit. I have to do those things as preventative maintenance.
