Yesterday I was starting to walk into rooms and forget why I had gone in there, I was getting frustrated with things that don't normally bother me, and the overwhelm started to sneak in.
So, instead of trying to push through and potentially start spiraling into a less than ideal mindset, I took myself down to the forest for 10 minutes and just started moving in whatever way my body needed to move.
As I was moving I could feel that there was a lot of energy stuck around my hip areas so I kept bringing movement and opening into that space. I also invited my inner child with her sense of playfulness and explored the space around me - connecting in with my senses, feeling, hearing, smelling, seeing, what was around me to ground and calm me. Taking big deep breaths and checking in with my internal landscape to see what I needed in this moment.
I also ended up pretending I was a giant ape at one stage ....you never know where these moments will take you 😂.
One small conscious decision meant that for the rest of my day I felt really happy, motivated and I got a lot done. 🥇
I would love to know if you have a quick 'reset' activity (or one you may want to try) that you can share in the comments. Let's inspire each other!
