Break Glass If in Crisis
(Start Here If You’re Tired, Sick, Overwhelmed or Just Don’t Know What to Do)
If everything feels like too much—if your energy is gone, your head’s a mess, and you don’t know who to trust—stop scrolling and do this:
1. Move Your Body – Now
-
Get outside. Walk.
-
Move your arms. Breathe through your nose.
-
If you’re exhausted, move gently. If you’re wired, move slowly.
Motion calms emotion. Stillness can come after movement.
2. Eat Something Real (Or Eat Nothing at All)
-
Can’t get a proper meal? Skip the garbage.
-
No more “just a snack” to cope. You’re not a bin.
-
Good fallback: Boiled eggs, tinned fish, vegetables, fruit, broth, oats, nuts, butter, salt.
- If you have been overeating then, you might need to fast. Drink some water and refer to the other ‘Break-Glass’ items.
Your body can go without food for a while. It can’t go without nutrients forever.
3. Get Some Sunlight & Breathe
-
Stand in daylight. Even cloudy light helps.
-
Breathe slowly through your nose. Five seconds in. Seven seconds out.
-
No phone. No podcast. Just light and breath.
You are solar-powered. You are air-powered. Don’t forget.
4. Sleep Tonight Like Your Life Depends on It
-
Lights off early. Screens off earlier.
-
Cool, dark, quiet room.
-
Magnesium or a hot bath if you’re wired.
-
Don’t fight your brain. Wind it down instead.
