Reset, Recharge, Renew: Reclaim Your Energy with Mindfulness and Community

In this journey that’s life,

...it’s so easy to lose sight of our own well-being and health in the noise of daily life. The demands of work, family, and personal responsibilities take all of our energy, and when we do think about them, it’s usually in the ‘oh crap’ moments. It’s when we realize that we never got the time… to exercise, to meal prep or even eat some days, or we barely have time to sit down and decompress before we fall into bed.

Oh, crap — Yup... I promised myself and I never got to it... again

Sometimes, we wake up and realize just how far off track we’ve gotten. Whether it’s due to stress, overwhelming obligations, or simply the passage of time, we can find ourselves in need of a reset. In spring, as nature wakes up and starts to bloom, we have the perfect opportunity to do the same for ourselves.

That's where I've been!

This winter, I’ve been a little quiet in the online space. I was visited by some old friends—ones I thought I had gracefully outgrown. It turns out they needed a bit more closure. Maybe I strong-armed them out the door before they were ready and didn’t really include them in the process. They are Self-Sabotage, Overwhelm, and Doubt. I am NOT my best self around these old friends; they suck my energy, and then my other friends, Avoidance, Lethargy, and Procrastination, swoop in to save the day and comfort me.

Listing my friends — Do you recognize any of these friends in your life?

This time, they showed up, and I handled them a little differently. Once I recognized them—because they tend to change their appearance a lot—I started to get curious.

Why are they here? What do they need from me? Why do I need them? I began to look at the obvious triggers to identify the ‘need’ they were serving in my life. So much of the time, fear of some type was at the core—fear and some other not quite identifiable unmet need. And that’s where this idea of a reset came from.

At first, I tried to push through and strong-arm them out the door, AGAIN, completely trying to overhaul my life. That’s when I recognized another old friend: Push-Through, who only increases my overwhelm and drops me further back into that vicious cycle.

I've been slowly learning and allowing, that I don’t need to force things. It’s so much better to go inward, get out of my head, and drop into my body, practicing mindfulness to see where it takes me.

Here I am, about a month into my own reset,

...and things are starting to fall into place. I don’t need to completely overhaul every aspect of my life. When I tune in, I notice the subtle shifts that will have the most impact. What will bring the most balance to my physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual health? The small, subtle shifts weave together beautifully. It’s sometimes hard to recognize these shifts, and even harder to stop looking for the ‘big fix’—the total overhaul that will solve everything. And the old friend make it a bit uncomfortable.

Now, I’ve decided to invite them in to stay a while, instead of pushing them away. It’s quite the party over here! I’m giving my friends the space and grace they need, and seeing where they take me. Sometimes they lead me astray from where I think I’m headed, but as long as I remain aware and mindful of their impact, I can make gentle choices that nudge me in a better direction.

Invite Mindfulness In — She's the friend you want to have around!

This is where I am as I revamp my Reset Your Energy with Mindfulness program and develop my 3-Week Challenge. This is the true path to regaining control, reclaiming personal power, and stepping into a life of greater health, balance, and joy than ever before. If any of this resonates with you—if you have old friends like mine—just know you don’t have to do this alone. Read on to discover how introducing a new friend called mindfulness can change the game and help you rebalance.

The Need for a Reset

Many of us experience moments when our usual routines no longer serve us. Maybe you’ve noticed that your energy levels have plummeted, or you’re feeling more stressed and overwhelmed than ever. Are you grappling with weight gain, chronic pain, or emotional fatigue, all while juggling the responsibilities of a busy life. It’s in these moments of realization that the idea of a reset takes hold.

For busy women, the signs of needing a reset can manifest in many ways:

Chronic Stress: Juggling multiple responsibilities can lead to a constant state of stress, leaving you feeling drained and unable to focus.
Physical Discomfort: Whether it’s tension headaches, back pain, or fatigue, physical symptoms often arise when we neglect our self-care.
Emotional Overwhelm: The weight of caring for others can leave little room for your own needs, leading to feelings of frustration and helplessness.
Loss of Motivation: When life gets hectic, it’s easy to lose sight of your goals and passions, leaving you feeling stuck and uninspired.

all of the above — Yes, sometimes there are multiple factors!

But here’s the good news: a reset doesn’t have to be a monumental effort. Small, intentional steps can lead to profound transformation. By embracing mindfulness practices, you can cultivate a sense of calm and clarity that allows you to navigate life’s challenges with greater ease.

The Power of Mindfulness

Mindfulness is a powerful tool for restoring balance and energy. It encourages us to slow down and reconnect with ourselves, even amidst the chaos. Just 10 to 20 minutes a day dedicated to mindfulness can make a world of difference.

You had the power all along. — Yes, yes I did, but I didn't feel it at the time.

This is the essence of mindfulness: recognizing that the ability to create change lies within you, and with small daily practices, you can rediscover that and take back your power.

Here are some potential benefits of incorporating mindfulness into your daily routine:

Enhanced Clarity: Mindfulness helps clear mental fog, allowing you to think more clearly and make better decisions.
Emotional Resilience: By practicing mindfulness, you can cultivate emotional awareness, enabling you to respond to stressors with greater composure. This one is key for me—responding instead of reacting!
Improved Physical Health: Mindfulness practices can reduce tension, lower blood pressure, and enhance overall well-being. It also helps you to be more present and make better choices as you go through your day.
Increased Presence: Being mindful allows you to fully engage in the present moment, fostering deeper connections with yourself and others. It basically helps you to show up for yourself and your loved ones!

The Energy of Community

The journey of self-discovery and wellness is deeply personal and individual. However, it doesn’t have to be undertaken alone. The energy of community can amplify our efforts and provide invaluable support. When we come together with like-minded individuals, we create a space for encouragement, accountability, and shared growth.

more about community — ... yes, so much more

Being part of a community during a reset journey can offer several benefits:

Shared Experiences: Connecting with others who are on similar paths can provide comfort and understanding, reminding you that you’re not alone in your struggles.
Collective Motivation: A supportive community can inspire you to stay committed to your goals, encouraging you to show up for yourself even when it feels challenging.
Diverse Perspectives: Engaging with others allows you to learn from their experiences and insights, enriching your own journey.
Celebration of Progress: In a community, every small victory is celebrated, reinforcing the positive changes you’re making in your life.
