This time of year naturally:
• pulls on your nervous system
• heightens emotional responses
• drains your mitochondrial energy
• amplifies old stress pathways
• and disconnects you from your inner guidance 😰
Before symptoms flare, fatigue deepens, or overwhelm hits…
✋
take a moment to pause and slow down.
Here are three simple, nourishing practices to support your energy and your nervous system:
1️⃣ Protect Your First Hour
How you begin your day sets the tone for everything that follows.
For me, this is the most important part of self-care.
Choose quiet before stimulation.
Even 5–10 minutes creates a different internal environment.
Try:
• Breathwork
• Meditation
• A gentle reflection on how you want to show up today
2️⃣ Anchor Your Energy Throughout the Day
One or two grounding moments can shift your entire system.
Try:
• placing one or both hands on your heart centre
• taking three slow breaths
• softening your shoulders
• feeling your feet on the ground
• noticing the energy between your hands and heart
This brings you back to yourself in under a minute.
3️⃣ Honour Your Limits
This is not the season to override yourself —
and I know it’s easier said than done.
But with awareness and gentleness, it’s possible.
Your body will tell you:
• when something is “too much”
• when you need rest
• when a boundary is needed
• when you need spaciousness instead of stimulation
Listening to this is not selfish —
it is self-preservation.
🌸 A Gentle Reminder
Your calm is sacred.
Your energy is precious.
And your body is asking for harmony, not pressure.
Be kind to yourself this season. 🤍
