So whether it's a big problem, whether it's a small problem, first identify the trigger.

We know time and time again that people that are more granular about the problems in their life that can very specifically pinpoint to the shift in their day.

This was the incident that pissed me off.

This was the antecedent.

This was the trigger.

So I call it name it.

Name the problem, name the antecedent, claim it.

Where in the body are you experiencing this?

Because for a lot of us, we're holding tension in our jaws, in our shoulders, insomnia, in our bellies.

So name it, claim it, tame it.

So this is where, you know, the actionable items of what helps self-soothe you.

And I think a lot of us as adults, when we were kids, we would suck our thumb, we would cry.

What is your self-soothing go-to technique, right?

For some people, for me, it's like, I call them oasis moments, 60-second meditations.

If you can do five minutes, great.

But, you know, I had to learn this, like, on our 36-hour shifts in the hospital in a utility closet.

Not sexy, not glamorous.

Now I call it a little zen den.

It's like a pillow on the floor.

But where can you just, in your car, before you get home, don't enter the house before, to the chaos of the rest of your life and the rest of your day and your family without giving yourself 60 seconds to do a deep breathing exercise.
