Taking a Step Back to Move Forward 🌿✨
Every few months, I take a moment to reflect and write down an intention for the part of my personality that needs more attention or a shift in habits. Lately, I’ve been focusing on relaxation and cooling down my mind.
For a while, I was in such a rush to live, do fitness and tick off every goal that I ended up creating stress in my body. The pressure to «do it all» led to over-stimulation—and as someone who’s naturally sensitive and constantly aware of everything around me (a trait my grandma would say I inherited 😉), even small things like caffeine or sugary drinks would send my energy soaring.
I’ve learned to limit external stimulants, because too much information or even exercise would overwhelm me. The real shift, though, has been my mindset. Creating space for self-care has made all the difference, and the practice that works best for me is meditation.
It’s incredible—sometimes even too much meditation feels calming, not overwhelming. One thing I’ve noticed recently is that personal conflicts, which used to weigh heavily on me and disrupt my sleep, no longer have the same impact. With regular meditation, I feel protected from letting those conflicts reach my core. It’s like a shield that helps me stay grounded, no matter what life throws my way. 🌙
This is my reminder to slow down, listen to my body, and honor the space I need to recharge. ✨ How do you make space for your own self-care?
