An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of regulation

Help prevent overwhelm by:

• holding conversations in a quieter area during a party
• making a shopping list before you go to the store
• plotting out low stimulus locations that you can take refuge in
• telling a trusted friend your plan so that they can help
• getting enough sleep
• having a balanced diet
• regular exercise
• strong and healthy relationships
• meditation and mindfulness
• appropriately prescribed medication
