Nervous System First


Burnout doesn’t just live in your mind.

It hijacks your nervous systemβ€”tight shoulders, shallow breath, racing thoughts.

To heal, we start with the body:

🫁 4-7-8 breathing

🧊 Cold water on the wrists

🚢 A 10-minute walk with no phone

🦢 Barefoot on the ground

🎧 A nostalgic playlist that makes you feel

These aren’t luxury habits.

They’re survival skills.

Why Basket-Cases?

(a.k.a. β€œWhy a Breakdown Basket?”)

Because being human is hard. And hilarious. And chaotic.

We made these baskets because:

  • Your brain deserves a timeout (even if your schedule doesn’t).
  • Art, stories, and silly rituals can be more healing than a checklist.
  • You’re not brokenβ€”you’re just beautifully overwhelmed.
