We recently created a guided video for when you feel alone and have no one to talk to.

Past continuous

But as we were working on that, we realized something important.

Adverbs of frequency

Feeling alone doesn't always mean feeling overwhelmed.

And feeling overwhelmed doesn't always mean you're alone.

Sometimes you're surrounded by people, but your mind is running at 400 miles an hour.

There's pressure to decide something, pressure to get something done, pressure to not mess up.

Or maybe you're just close to your breaking point, close to burning out, and

you need a moment like this to help you slow down and get back on track.

This video is part 1B of a 10 part guided meditation series we are currently working on and budgeting for.

More than ever, we've realized how much we all need moments like this to be grounded, to find peace in all the chaos.

We live in a world that constantly asks us to perform, to produce, to keep up, and

In fact, one of our most viewed videos of all time with over 15 million views, was about Burnout.

And we hope a video like this isn't coming out too late.

For those of you who've always wanted us to start Guided Meditations, we're sorry we didn't begin sooner, but

And we hope this isn't too late for you either.

As you know, this channel is created by many individuals.

From talented artists like Anazi Alem in Vietnam to writers and researchers in counseling and psychology like Chloe Avanessa in the Philippines and myself, your voice artist, Amanda Silvera from Canada.

Together we hope to continue bringing you care content that transcends cultures and moments like this.

So psych2go can be a place you return to when things feel heavy with your support.

Simply by watching this video, we're one step closer to rising again as a channel so we can help even more people.

If you're listening to this right now, it probably means things feel like too much.

Maybe your thoughts are racing, maybe you feel numb.

Or maybe you just don't know what you're supposed to do next.

For the next 10 minutes, you don't have to solve anything.

If at any point you want to open your eyes, shift your body, or stop the meditation, that is completely okay.

Wherever you are, see if you can gently notice your body.

You don't need to change anything yet, notice where your body is supported.

Now take a slow breath in through your nose and a longer breath out through your mouth.

If breathing feels hard or shallow, that's okay.

Overwhelm often comes from trying to carry too much at once.

So instead of pushing it away, we're going to gently name it.

Silently, in your own words, finish this sentence right now.

Your nervous system is responding to something it believes matters.

When everything feels out of control, the brain needs something small and concrete.

You can gently press your feet into the floor.

Place a hand on your chest or stomach, or lightly press your fingertips together.

You are here and you are safe enough in this moment.

Instead of trying to stop them, imagine they're passing by like subtitles on a screen.

Just notice there's a thought and let it move.

If your mind pulls you away, gently bring your attention back to your anchor again and again.

I'm doing the best I can with what I have right now.

Overwhelm doesn't mean there's anything wrong with you.

It means you've been strong for too long without enough support.

Let's gently bring your attention back to the room that you're in.

You don't need to fix your whole life tonight.

You only need to take it one breath at a time.

As we come to the end of this meditation, remember this.

You are allowed to rest before you're done.

You are allowed to pause without giving up.

And you don't have to know the next step.

When you're ready, slowly bring movement back into your body.

Thank you for taking this time for yourself.

You can come back to this meditation anytime you need.

If this helped you even a little, let us know in the comments.
