Speed Mapping
Understand your overwhelm not as emotion, but as nervous system velocity.
When this might help:
-
Overwhelm is building and you suspect pace, not feelings
-
You’re reviewing a day that ran away from you
The practice:
-
“When do I move too fast for my own regulation?”
-
“Where in my day do I slow down, and how does it feel?”
-
“What part of my routine creates overflow?”
Gentle fallback: Noticing one moment you moved too fast is the map started.

Come back to this whenever you need it. Returning is the practice.
