Life isn’t a straight line. Some days flow easily, others feel like they’re slipping through our fingers.
Lately, I’ve noticed my mind has felt heavier, busier, and I’m not the only one. Winter has a way of stretching out the harder moments. Energy dips, moods shift, and challenges feel bigger.
If that’s been your experience lately, you’re not alone.
But here’s the good news: as we edge closer to spring, it’s the perfect time to pause, reset, and create space for what’s next. Space to clear your head, decide what you want, and map out a plan that will guide you when life gets noisy again.
Why a reset is hard and why it matters
Our biggest challenge isn’t just busyness – it’s that we fill every gap.
Even when we do get time, we often scroll, binge-watch, or distract ourselves until the moment is gone.
But here’s the thing: how can we expect to know what we want, when we don’t pause for long enough to even find out what it is.
5 steps to create your own reset
- Make space intentionally. Block out time in your calendar. Step away from distractions – maybe sit by the river with your phone on flight mode, take a walk without headphones, or book a session with me to keep yourself accountable.
- Find stillness. You already have the answers. There’s just so much noise! This isn’t about being “woo-woo”, it’s about paying attention. Notice your breath, the feel of your clothes, the sound of the water. When your mind drifts, gently bring it back to your breath. Just be still.
- Ask a question. Pose a question that will help you gain clarity, then return to focusing on your breath. Just notice what thoughts start to surface. No need to push it.
- Get Writing: On paper, answer these:
- How do I want to feel?
- What’s one thing I can do to feel that way?
- What else?
- What’s one action I’ll take right now to start?
- Do it. No overthinking, no waiting for the perfect moment, just take the first step.
When you need more than a quick reset
These steps will help you pause and reconnect any time life feels full-on. But if your mind is constantly in motion and your days feel packed from start to finish, it can be hard to create that space on your own.
Even the highest achievers don’t go it alone. They work with coaches to protect their energy, sharpen their focus, and move forward fasterwithout wasting months (or years) circling the same challenges.
