Name It to Tame It
Put a word to what you're feeling — it genuinely takes the edge off.
How It Works
- 1Pause for a moment.
- 2Ask yourself: what am I actually feeling right now?
- 3Put a name to it — even one word is enough. Anxious, angry, sad, overwhelmed.
- 4Just naming it, silently or out loud, can take some of the intensity out of it.
