Episode notes
Morning Routine As Nonnegotiable
- Build self-care into your morning by reserving phone-free time for meditation, exercise, and showering.
- Protect that 90–120 minute window to stabilize your day and reduce overwhelm.
Doing Can Mask Emotional Avoidance
- Excessive busyness can be an avoidance strategy to not feel uncomfortable emotions.
- Recognizing doing-as-distraction reframes productivity as potential self-harm and invites slowing down.
Use Accountability To Stop Overdoing
- Notice when overdoing signals buried feelings and consciously shift behavior instead of adding tasks.
- Use accountability (partners or friends) to catch and correct that reactivity.
