Feeling Stressed? Seven Quick Resets

What is in your Stress Relief Toolkit?

Lately in conversations with many of you, we’re hearing how the pace of life feels relentless, how the to-do lists never seem to shrink and how the weight of it can be exhausting..

But here’s the thing—when you do take even the smallest moment to pause, to reset, to reconnect with yourself, something shifts. It’s not just a break in the day; it’s a return to yourself…

Seven quick ‘resets’ for your body, mind and emotions:

 Shake it off – literally : Animals instinctively shake off after a stressful encounter – try it!
 Cold Water reset. Splash cold water on your face to feel calmer – it activates your vagus nerve and decreases your ‘fight or flight’ response.

 Don’t spiral, reframe:  Ask yourself, “If this were happening for me instead of to me, what might it be teaching me?”When we shift how we see things we can shift how we feel.

 Return to yourself — pause to enjoy a favourite signature scent,  link in with  a ‘comfort or power object’  like a special crystal or piece of jewellery, repeat a mantra like ‘I am steady. This moment will pass’.
