Episode notes
Guard Your Peace By Limiting Social Media
- Limit social media intake and create physical barriers (like a Brick) to reduce emotional overwhelm and stay regulated.
- Prioritize real-life connection, nature, and exercise to protect your emotional bandwidth and focus.
Ease Into Movement
- Start exercise with tiny, tolerable steps like walking before running and build slowly over weeks.
- Choose movement that feels fun and non-punishing so you can sustain consistency without sensory overload.
Prioritize Effective Treatment And Job Fit
- If medication isn't giving clear improvement, discuss adjustments with your prescriber as a first step.
- Seek jobs that play to your strengths and request supports or accountability for weak areas to improve retention.
