FESTIVAL STATES
OVERSTIMULATED
Feeling flooded by sound, movement, people, or everything happening at once, with less room to settle or take things in.
What you might notice
Tight shoulders or jaw, racing thoughts, or a breath that feels smaller or quicker.
TRY THIS
01 LOOK AROUND
Let your eyes move around the space and find three things that feel neutral, steady, or calming enough to notice.
02 FIND YOUR HANDS AND FEET
Notice your hands. Then your feet. See if you can include both at once.
03 LET YOUR VISION SOFTEN
Experiment with taking in a little more of the space around you, without needing to focus on any one thing.
NOTICE
What’s around me that’s still?
Can I feel my feet and hands at the same time?
GIVE IT A MOMENT
Stay with whatever feels most available. You don’t need to do all of this at once. Choose one thing and notice what happens.
