Stop to breathe.
Set aside a day to do nothing, and no this is not an excuse to binge Netflix. When was the last time you opened a book and actually finished it – cover to cover? Engage in your imagination and read that fantasy book collecting dust on your shelf. This can assist in rejuvenating your senses, fall back in love with your passions and help to rest your mind.
Overwhelmed, tired but always saying yes? Journal about it!
Let’s talk boundaries. Leaky boundaries create cracks in your emotional energy cup, draining your vitality. Meditate on what could be depleting your energy and set intentions to cut it out. Hint: if it’s heavy, put it down. Journal with questions such as:
- Am I overwhelmed or resentful in a particular relationship or situation? Your emotions are a guide map to your inner being and need to be listened to.
- Am I saying “yes” out of obligation or because I genuinely want to? This helps differentiate between pleasing others and honouring your own needs.
- Do I feel guilty for wanting to protect my energy? Recognising any guilt can help you challenge the belief that it’s wrong to prioritise yourself.
You can consider creating daily emotional check points, for example each evening, to check in with your mind and body to assess if something or someone is enhancing or depleting your energy. This will help to rest your heart.
Set a sleep schedule
Have you tried going to sleep early but can’t break the late-night scrolling habits? Or, perhaps your mind is still abuzz with today’s problems and tomorrow’s worries? Rewiring your brain is all about routine. Sleep is non-negotiable for your health, it’s an investment in the energy you’ll need to perform at your best tomorrow. Without it, your body and mind can’t function properly.
To set a sleep schedule, start by picking a bedtime and waking up at the same time every day—like aiming for 10 p.m. bedtime and 6 a.m. wake-up. Avoid screens an hour before bed, maybe read a book or listen to calming music instead. A cup of herbal tea or 10 minutes of light stretching can help you wind down. This will help to rest your body.
