I had an event tonight, a farm dinner, for which I used the Event Prep tool. These events tend to have a lot of participants and commotion going on which can saturate my hearing and my attention. The result is that I can feel overwhelmed and then withdraw. I used the event prep tool to identify some things I can do, such as excuse myself and take a short walk to "decompress" a bit, to manage the situation. This technique works because, well, a farm dinner is usually held on a farm so there's usually plenty of places to walk. Using the event prep to identify things I can do to manage my thoughts and mood was helpful in this situation. I'm glad I created it. Have you tried it?
