Wired but Tired?

Ever get to the end of the day and just crash?


Or maybe you feel “wired but tired”—as if your nervous system is ramped up and yet you have nothing left to give.


The problem *might* be that you aren’t giving your nervous system any chance to rest and reset throughout the day.


I get it!


Society expects us to be going non-stop.


It’s just that our bodies (and especially our nervous systems) were not built for that.


One of the best ways to support nervous system regulation is to build in periods of intentional rest to your day.


This can look different for different people.


You might:


✨ get up from your desk every hour to stretch

✨ set reminders to close your eyes for two minutes and breathe

✨ allow 5 extra minutes on your lunch break to sit in your car and listen to music


The point is to schedule rest breaks into your day.


These breaks act like a reset button for your nervous system so that you won’t feel so fried at the end of the day.


Have you tried this? What’s your experience?

How to Reflect & Reset For the New Year

As we’re about to turn the calendar to 2025, this is the perfect time to pause, reflect, and dream a little.


📍First: Save this post so you can find it anytime.


Then find a cozy spot, grab a warm drink, and jot down these prompts…


1️⃣ What are three wins (or more!) I’m proud of achieving in 2024?


2️⃣ What is one thing I want to let go of before the new year?


3️⃣ Who or what supported me in surprising ways this year? What am I feeling grateful for?


4️⃣ What do I want 2025 to be about? What do I want more of?


5️⃣ In one year from now, what do I want to look back and see?


I believe that living with intention is part of optimal health and that the end of the year can be a gentle reminder to pause, reflect, and set a vision for what’s next.
