It’s going to happen. It could be a feeling of stress, being overwhelmed or like you literally have no more brain capacity.

Instead of turning to junk food, drugs, alcohol or an emotional outburst, there are things you can do. The key is to catch yourself and take action.

If you have time, take 1-4 hours on your own, no inputs. It could be a walk, run, bike or just sitting.

If you don’t have that time, or as part of it, write. Uncontrolled, unstructured, no spell check. Whatever comes into your head, document it. Do it until your brain goes quiet.

You can save it or not, the choice is yours.
