If You’re Still Catching Your Breath… Read This

Scroll down for Today's Recipe: Fiery Sweet Potatoes Hey there, If you're feeling a little tired today… heavier than usual… or like your brain is still "loading," you're not alone. The days after a holiday can feel strange. There's excitement, but also fatigue. Joy, but also overstimulation. Connection, but also a longing for quiet. We go from full houses and full schedules… to real life again. And that transition can take a moment. So today, I want to offer something different from the usual "jump back in" message: **You don't need to snap back into routine. You can ease back in.** Your nervous system will thank you for it. 1. Start with one grounding action. Not the whole routine. Not the list. Just one thing that steadies you. It might be: • drinking a glass of water • making your bed • taking three slow breaths • stepping outside for a moment • putting on a cozy sweater • tidying one small spot These micro-anchors help your brain shift gently back into structure. 2. Don't mistake tiredness for lack of discipline. Your body just did a lot. Travel, cooking, hosting, socializing, disrupted sleep, new environments, emotions— these things all use energy. If you're dragging a little today, it's not a flaw. It's a sign you're human. Give yourself permission to pause instead of push. 3. Focus on rhythm, not performance. Routine doesn't need to be perfect or intense. It just needs to feel steady. Try asking yourself: "What would make today feel smoother?" Not "productive," not "perfect," not "fixed." Just smoother. Your answer might be: • a warm meal • a short walk • cleaning one workspace • journaling a few lines • listening to calming music • getting to bed earlier tonight These small, thoughtful choices rebuild your rhythm far better than forcing yourself into a full reset. **4. Remember: your body adjusts gradually. And that's okay.** You don't need to "make up for" anything. Your system will naturally settle back into balance with a little consistency and a lot of compassion. Today's gentle invitation: Do one thing that helps you feel a bit more like yourself. Just one. Let it be enough.
