The UPSET‑to‑Action Blueprint

1 Pause & Breathe
Inhale for 4 counts, hold 4, exhale 6. - This simple breathwork calms the nervous system, turning distress into clarity.
I am UPSET because the situation triggers strong emotions within me

2 Name the Feeling
“I am UPSET because….”
Putting a label on the emotion reduces its power. Write it in a journal; the act of externalizing makes the worry manageable.
3 Move the Body
A brisk 5‑minute walk - Stretching or a quick dance
Physical motion releases endorphins, shifting you from troubled to energized.
