A Meditation for When You Feel Overwhelmed

When your mind is racing and your nervous system feels unstable, you don’t need to solve your life. You need to slow your body down.

In this episode of A Well Cared For Human, I guide you through a grounding meditation I use when I feel internally chaotic, a simple practice called “Be Like a Log.”

Inspired by a verse from the 8th-century Buddhist text The Way of the Bodhisattva by Shantideva, this meditation is about stillness, stability, and choosing not to react when emotions surge.

You’ll learn:

• How to settle your body into a relaxed but ready posture

• How to breathe in a way that calms your nervous system

• Why longer exhales signal safety to the brain

• How visualization can anchor you in the present moment

This is a short (15-minute), practical reset you can return to anytime you feel racy, reactive, or overwhelmed.
