NOTES

Watch This When You Feel Lost and Alone - Jordan Peterson

  • S.T.O.P. - Strategy to stay focused

    S

    Stop what you are doing. Press the pause button on your thoughts and actions.

    T

    Take a few deep breaths. Bring yourself fully into the present moment, and center yourself.

    O

    Observe what is going on with your body, in your mind, and with your emotions.
    • Body:Ask yourself, “What physical sensations am I aware of in this moment?” Consider this question with regard to your five senses: sight, hearing, taste, touch, and smell.
    • Mind: Ask yourself, “What assumptions or expectations am I having about my feelings?” Ask yourself further, “What is the story I am telling myself about why I am having these assumptions or expectations?”
    • Emotions: Ask yourself, “What feelings am I experiencing?” Whether positive or negative, identify them in a non-judgmental way.

    P

    Proceed with whatever you were doing before the negative emotions began by making a conscious and intentional choice to handle them with healthy coping skills. Consider what you have learned about yourself during the short exercise and contemplate what you want to do with what you have learned. Remember, the more mindful you are about what’s going on inside your body and mind, the easier it will be to navigate through difficult times, which will help prevent your need to drink alcohol to relax.
