Transcript
- 0:07You're listening to the manifestation station podcast i'm your host holly edwards
- 0:13and together we can help create your magic,
- 0:22Hello, gorgeous, gorgeous manifestors and welcome back to another episode of
- 0:28the Manifestation Station.
- 0:30We are here, we are loving life. Oh my God, I am melting.
- 0:35If you are in the UK, you know exactly what I'm talking about because we had
- 0:4033 degrees yesterday. I'm sorry if you're not UK based, but please just enjoy
- 0:47us Brits moaning about the hot weather.
- 0:50In fact, actually, sorry, you won't find me moaning about the hot weather because
- 0:54I just love it. I am definitely a summer girl.
- 0:59But my goodness, I'm recording this on, where are we? Wednesday the 27th of May.
- 1:05This is going to come out to you on Friday.
- 1:08But yesterday, there was no air.
- 1:12Now, for non-UK people, you won't know this, but we don't have air con.
- 1:17We don't have air con in the UK. So we just
- 1:20sit ourselves in front of fans and melt but I love
- 1:23it it brings out I was
- 1:26gonna say it brings out the best of me the weather does I mean it does in all
- 1:30of us doesn't it especially if as us Brits I think we all rush to the shops
- 1:35we all go and get our barbecues on and our little paddling pools out don't we
- 1:40but yes it can feel a little bit stressful when one does not have air con but Still,
- 1:46we are still loving life. So that's me this week.
- 1:50I have the doors open into the garden today.
- 1:55So if you hear a little bit of outside noise, let's just hope it's the birds
- 1:59singing and the trees rustling and not any builders or anything.
- 2:03Because we don't want anyone to be interrupting our lovely episode today.
- 2:09Because I'm actually helping you to de-stress today and to let go of the stresses
- 2:16of the day because it's something that's really important.
- 2:20And I saw an Instagram story today and it really, you know, when it stops you
- 2:25in your tracks and it was just talking about how in today's day and age,
- 2:31we are absorbing so much more just in a single day than our grandparents processed in a month.
- 2:39So we always talk about don't we like burnout and how we're constantly on the
- 2:44go even if you've got a day where you're not doing that much there are still
- 2:48millions of things that are bombarding their way into your thoughts into your
- 2:53life onto your to-do list and to.
- 2:57Our grandparents didn't have to deal with this. And so we kind of have to pave
- 3:02the way and make sure we're protecting our energy and releasing those certain
- 3:09stresses and things that which may have caused us some grievances throughout the day.
- 3:13But yeah, we're absorbing more in a single day than our grandparents processed in a month.
- 3:19So we're talking notifications, opinions,
- 3:22outrage the news disasters advertisements
- 3:26noise and that's on top of
- 3:29just you living your day-to-day life as well so
- 3:32your nervous system it wasn't built
- 3:35for this and the reset you're looking for it's not a supplement or more information
- 3:41it's simply taking yourself out of that energy it's going for a walk it's dinner
- 3:47without your phone it's a bedtime that respects your body and you get your sleep.
- 3:53It's pausing for a moment for fresh air, sunshine, laughter.
- 3:57But actually today, I'm going a little bit deeper with you.
- 4:00And I'm going to be starting with a very interesting energy reset,
- 4:06which may sound a little woo-woo, but I've started doing it.
- 4:11And I think it works. And I'm like, what have we got to lose?
- 4:14Why not try these woo-woo things as well? If you know me, I often talk about
- 4:18being, you have to be a bit delulu, I think, to be a good manifester and do
- 4:23things a little bit, a little bit woo-woo, a little bit crazy.
- 4:27And that's what we're all about, isn't it? Why not try these things?
- 4:30So today we are talking about energy resets.
- 4:36So these are real practical, like I said, slightly woo-woo things that actually
- 4:42help you release stress.
- 4:43Heavy energy, emotional build-up, awkward conversations, pressure, overstimulation.
- 4:51I think that's actually one of the biggest things that I find on a day-to-day
- 4:55myself and when I work with my manifesting clients. I think.
- 5:00People are overstimulated. So I've got clients that are setting up side hustles,
- 5:06and we're very much navigating together how we can manifest and put in strategies
- 5:10to kind of to attract their goals in.
- 5:14But I also try and hold back on not giving too much work overload,
- 5:19because I always say to my clients, please also slow down.
- 5:24Please also take a moment for yourself,
- 5:28a moment for your mind a moment for
- 5:31your brain to reset because every
- 5:34day we are carrying those even
- 5:38small stresses or draining energies
- 5:42of maybe people that you've been around we are carrying them
- 5:45over into the next day and eventually that
- 5:47kind of I always think I always describe it
- 5:50as leading us to like an emotional burnout and this overstimulation and all
- 5:57the things we quietly carry around every single day and I think genuinely one
- 6:04of the biggest reasons that people feel exhausted lately is.
- 6:09Is this, they never emotionally leave the day behind.
- 6:14It is up to you and you are in charge and it's very much within your power to
- 6:20make sure you have a system, you have a ritual, or there is something that signifies
- 6:26that you are leaving the day behind.
- 6:29And that's it. So they carry Monday into Tuesday.
- 6:33Tuesday into Wednesday, maybe one stressful
- 6:36conversation you had in the week maybe with
- 6:39your boss or with someone at work or your
- 6:42partner the one stressful conversation might carry all
- 6:45the way into the weekend as well and eventually
- 6:49it feels like it builds
- 6:52up and then it feels like life is sitting on top of you and then
- 6:54what I call we have this like burnout moment and
- 6:58I see it a lot with friends and family that all
- 7:02of a sudden they're like I can't cope I can't
- 7:05do anything today I can't get my chores done
- 7:08I don't feel emotionally stable I don't feel like I can do
- 7:10this and that's because you have put so much.
- 7:13Load on yourselves I always think of think of
- 7:17it like you're carrying like this emotional backpack and every
- 7:20day you pick up little snippets throughout your day people that
- 7:23drain you a conversation that felt awkward a
- 7:26moment that feels like it didn't go your way general
- 7:30stresses of life and kids and home life
- 7:33and you're popping all of these things into the backpack and
- 7:37your brain keeps going over them replaying them
- 7:41revisiting them and your backpack gets heavier
- 7:44and heavier and heavier and then all of
- 7:46a sudden one day it's overflowing you cannot fit anything else in and all you
- 7:51have to do all you can do I should say is sit on the floor because you can't
- 7:56go anywhere it's too heavy and you have to unload the backpack but you are forced
- 8:01to do it you are forced to stop because you cannot take any more steps.
- 8:06So if this might feel like you, and I know so many of us have so much on our
- 8:12plates at the moment, think about also telling yourself that that is okay, that is very normal.
- 8:19If you're feeling like this at the moment, I'm sure that most people listening
- 8:23and myself included are going, yes, I identify with this.
- 8:27Think about what I just said about how we are dealing with so much more than
- 8:31our grandparents had to deal with.
- 8:33That's very normal. or you turn on the TV and we're bombarded with news.
- 8:37Our phone keeps pinging, even in quiet moments when we're watching a film or
- 8:42we're reading our books.
- 8:43Sometimes our phone and our emails are still flooding in.
- 8:46So you know that feeling you wake up and you're already tired.
- 8:51You're already irritated, and maybe you're already emotionally full.
- 8:57This is usually that build-up. So it's not necessarily one huge problem you
- 9:02have going on in your life. It's just unprocessed energy stacking up day after day.
- 9:09And if you think about it, nobody's ever taught us how to release it.
- 9:14We clean our homes, we wash our clothes, we charge our phones.
- 9:18But most people never clear their own energy.
- 9:23And before anyone gets scared by the word energy, I'm not talking about,
- 9:27you know, I'm not actually talking about crazy woo-woo stuff at this point.
- 9:32I am going to go a little woo-woo soon.
- 9:34But I just mean in generally, like by energy, I just mean your mood,
- 9:39your stress, your emotions, the tension, the atmosphere, your mental clutter
- 9:45and your nervous system overload. You can feel...
- 9:49You can absolutely feel when a room is tense.
- 9:54When you feel tense, you can absolutely feel when somebody drains you.
- 9:59You can feel when a conversation sticks to you for hours afterwards.
- 10:04That is all energy. And that is all energy that gets kind of stuck on us and
- 10:10popped in our backpack for the rest of the day.
- 10:13So I want to give you some physical rituals and habits that help you reset and
- 10:21empty that backpack out so that every day you can start with a new empty backpack.
- 10:26So instead of carrying everything around with you every day,
- 10:30and I think peaceful people are not peaceful necessarily because they have perfect
- 10:37lives, but they are more peaceful because they know how to release.
- 10:42So the first ritual is one that
- 10:45I saw a couple of weeks ago on Instagram and
- 10:49listen bear with me yes it
- 10:52is a little bit delulu it is a little bit woo woo but actually
- 10:56I love the idea of this and it's something
- 10:59that goes back centuries and it's the use of salt and
- 11:02we're calling this the salt ritual and yes
- 11:06it sounds like maybe something your grandmother would do
- 11:10but honestly listen they were
- 11:13a lot more connected I think spiritually sometimes so
- 11:16we already know this this is the
- 11:18non-woo-woo part but salt has been used for
- 11:21cleansing and protection rituals in cultures all over the world for centuries
- 11:27so whether you believe it's spiritual or maybe you can feel like it's a little
- 11:33bit more symbolic or psychological the point is This ritual changes the state.
- 11:40So here is the practice. And actually, I would love you to, at the end of today, just give this a go.
- 11:47You have nothing to lose, even if you are slightly rolling your eyes at the prospect of doing this.
- 11:54Do me a favor, promise me, you will just give it a go.
- 11:58Or the next time or the next day, you have a bit of a stressful day,
- 12:02a bit of a heavy one, you feel drained, you feel burnout,
- 12:06whatever it is give this one a try and do let me know
- 12:08how you get on so we we're using
- 12:12salt so when you come home after your
- 12:15draining day go to the sink run
- 12:19some warm water and take some
- 12:22salt between your hands okay so
- 12:25maybe pop out a little bit of salt in a bowl next
- 12:28to the sink take that pinch of salt and rub
- 12:32it between your palms whilst washing your hands okay
- 12:36so the warm water this is all about kind
- 12:39of a sensory nod as well to
- 12:41your mindset and to your energy this is a sensory
- 12:45moment that's going to connect with yourself with your mind with
- 12:48the universe so rub this salt in the warm water between your hands kind of whilst
- 12:54washing your hands so let it go over your fingers let it rub in between your
- 12:58fingers on the palms of your hands and say out loud whatever is not mine I release it now.
- 13:08It's that simple. Whatever is not mine, I release it now.
- 13:12Simple. So probably do that for around 30 seconds and let that salt run down
- 13:19the sink and into the plug hole.
- 13:21Now I'm going to tell you the reason why it works. Now, like I said,
- 13:24I actually tried this a couple of weeks ago.
- 13:28And when I tell you that I felt like a physical weight had been lifted off my
- 13:35shoulders, it's really weird.
- 13:37It was kind of like I don't know the worries or the burnout or the emotional
- 13:42load that I was carrying kind of just lifted slightly it's like it lifted maybe
- 13:48it would drain down the plug hole so the reason why it works that people most
- 13:53people come home physically.
- 13:55But mentally they're still at work or they're still in the argument they had
- 14:00with their partner They're still replaying that conversation with the boss.
- 14:05They're still carrying someone else's mood.
- 14:08Now, this ritual tells your brain and body, you are physically letting your
- 14:15brain and body and nervous system know, we are done carrying that weight now.
- 14:20And that's why I felt like when I did this, it felt like a weight was physically lifted.
- 14:25It's like I was choosing to tell my brain and body, we are done carrying this now.
- 14:31And this is why it's the physical action matters
- 14:34it's not it's not just about saying I release
- 14:37this day to the universe and that's it it's the physical action matters and
- 14:43the human brain and the human body it needs physical closure it's waiting for
- 14:48you to physically close the chapter on that book and that is why breakups feel more real when you
- 14:57they return their stuff to you. You know you have a breakup and you return each
- 15:01other's stuff and it suddenly feels more real or why deleting messages feels symbolic.
- 15:07While showering after a hard day genuinely changes your mood.
- 15:12Your body is understanding the ritual. Your
- 15:15body understands what you're trying to tell it and your body is
- 15:18understanding that you are drawing a
- 15:21close to that chapter now we you could do
- 15:24this every evening it might be a lovely ritual to
- 15:27get in the habit of I mean it takes you 30 seconds you're going
- 15:29to wash your hands when you get in the door anyway why not add
- 15:32a little bit of salt in fact I am going to do this when I get off the podcast
- 15:36now I'm going to do it again maybe I'll record it and I'll pop a reel on my
- 15:41Instagram or something and see kind of I'll let you know how I felt but I'm
- 15:46pretty sure it'll be the same thing again. So.
- 15:50It's this physical energy reset. Now, you can do other physical energy resets.
- 15:57And there are some that I absolutely swear by.
- 16:00So one of them is showering, I was going to say intently, intentionally.
- 16:07So this is not rushing a shower and getting in and quickly getting under the
- 16:10water. This is about consciously having your shower.
- 16:14I visualize the water running off my
- 16:17body and sometimes carrying the weight of the world down
- 16:20the plug hole so again it's that physical nod
- 16:23to the universe I'm ready to let this day go if you
- 16:26shower before you get into bed you can make this a
- 16:29ritual you don't have to do anything else it doesn't have to be longer it doesn't
- 16:33have to add you know minutes or hours to your day it's just that we're not rushing
- 16:38the shower you know whilst mentally replying to emails or going over conversations
- 16:44in our head we are deciding to get in the shower and deciding the day ends here.
- 16:50And sometimes after a difficult day, I will literally stand under that water for a minute or so.
- 16:56And I consciously, consciously visualize, or I constantly try to empty my thoughts
- 17:03and think, this is the end of my day.
- 17:06I'm no longer going to worry about that thing,
- 17:10whatever it is that's bothering me and I take a minute to myself and just like
- 17:15I say imagine that that negative energy or oil burnout energy just running down the plug hole.
- 17:23So listen, again, some people might go, oh, is it a little bit woo-woo? Is it effective?
- 17:31Absolutely, 100%. And if I really want to reset, I'll wash my hair as well.
- 17:36Because for some reason, I think women especially, I think we'd all agree that
- 17:41washing your hair feels like an emotional rebirth, doesn't it?
- 17:45There are times when I don't need to wash my hair and I go, sod it.
- 17:49I need to just rinse all of the stress away.
- 17:52And it's like that physical reset and
- 17:55then it's coming out of the shower it changes
- 17:59your physical state you have fresh skin fresh clothes
- 18:02fresh energy so what you're actually doing
- 18:05with these physical resets you're interrupting the spiral and honestly some
- 18:11people do not need a new life they just need a nervous system reset it's that
- 18:17simple and there are many if you think about it There are probably some that you do anyway.
- 18:24So for example, when you get in from work, do you rush in and sometimes go up
- 18:29and put your pyjamas on straight away?
- 18:31That is a physical reset. That is you saying, I need comfort.
- 18:36I need soft, comfy clothes on. That's a physical reset.
- 18:40So there are many that you may already be doing and I'll give you a few others as well.
- 18:44But yeah after a stressful day
- 18:47I think your body often stays in
- 18:50that kind of high alert mode you're in performance
- 18:54mode from work or you know mentally replying to emails so the second you change
- 19:01into soft clothes maybe your physical reset is taking your makeup off putting
- 19:06your hair up or lighting a candle your body gets the signal to say that you are safe now.
- 19:13And that's the key. You can come up with your own signals.
- 19:17You can use one of those. You can use the salt ritual. But I think actually
- 19:23as women, I know there are men that listen to this as well, just for the women for a moment.
- 19:28I think we are actually very intuitive about this naturally.
- 19:32And I think that's why that everything shower culture became so huge online.
- 19:36I don't know if you saw that, but it's kind of what we've been talking about.
- 19:40It's about having a moment of skin care, having a shower reset.
- 19:46Now, another one that's really simple, and I've talked about this in past episodes,
- 19:50and it's really, really not complicated.
- 19:54And sometimes people will think, well, Holly, that is so simple.
- 19:58And it's opening windows. Now, this is something that is now a habit to me.
- 20:05I do this constantly. So if you've had an argument, if you're feeling anxious,
- 20:10if you've been crying, if you feel like you've had people in your space who have drained you,
- 20:16you can immediately open the windows.
- 20:20Now, this is what I do every now and again, even if it's in the winter.
- 20:23Sometimes you can just do it for a couple of minutes but stagnant
- 20:29energy stays and it
- 20:32has to be kind of either renewed or
- 20:35released so there's something about fresh air moving through a room that changes
- 20:40the atmosphere instantly so if you're feeling like you're carrying something
- 20:45that is weighty and it's weighing down your mind like sometimes I'll physically
- 20:51open a window and I say anything heavy can leave now,
- 20:55And again, it's a physical ritual.
- 20:57If it sounds woo-woo, perhaps, but actually it's not.
- 21:02You are physically reminding your nervous system it's safe.
- 21:05You are physically reminding your nervous system to offload those stresses.
- 21:10So I always say to sometimes when you're feeling stresses to switch up your
- 21:16environment and sometimes just opening a window, it's that simple,
- 21:20is something that you can do quite easily.
- 21:23And just think about, and sometimes I don't stand by the window and watch all
- 21:29my troubles float outside.
- 21:31Sometimes I'll just be rushing around the house and sometimes I use it as an
- 21:35energy reset in the house as well.
- 21:37I open those windows and I think any energy that is stuck in here,
- 21:41if I've had an argument, if I've had some stressful emails.
- 21:45I'm like, that just signals everything to leave. It is that simple.
- 21:51But there are other things you can do. You can light incense, you can light a candle.
- 21:56There are many kind of physical resets you can do. And I think it's also very
- 22:01much about being in the home.
- 22:03It's normally about coming back from the day and your home should not hold the stresses of the day.
- 22:10Your home should be your point of safety. It's that simple. So what can you do to clean your space?
- 22:16Sometimes I'll clean my space while music is playing.
- 22:20Sometimes I have a
- 22:24two minute kind of reset at the
- 22:26end of the night I'll puff the cushions I'll put
- 22:30the washing up in the sink I'll wash it
- 22:32up just that little cleaning of space also
- 22:36signifies this is the end of my day I
- 22:40leave everything behind this evening and
- 22:43that's the thing it's about anything you do it's
- 22:46just turning that into a ritual so suddenly cleaning stops feeling boring and
- 22:51it starts feeling therapeutic and put a timer on it you don't want to get home
- 22:55from work and think oh now I've got to do 20 minutes cleaning that's not what
- 23:00we're talking about just a two minute refresh a two minute reset of your home,
- 23:06Now, another ritual that genuinely helps me, and I do this almost every day,
- 23:13is barefoot grounding outside.
- 23:16Now, I used to think this one, I actually genuinely used to think this was a
- 23:21little bit woo-woo myself,
- 23:22but there's something deeply regulating about physically touching nature and
- 23:28taking off your shoes, taking off your socks,
- 23:32feeling your feet in grass, sand, fresh air, sunlight.
- 23:36So modern life can keep people disconnected from themselves.
- 23:42So we are constantly overstimulated, phones, notifications, noise,
- 23:49pressure, social media, comparison.
- 23:53And sometimes the quickest, fastest way to calm yourself down is to physically
- 23:59reconnect with something real.
- 24:02So sometimes if I feel a little bit overwhelmed or I kind of need to tune into myself.
- 24:08So I quite often do this before, maybe before I have an interview.
- 24:11I work in film and TV as well.
- 24:13So sometimes I will go outside and even if I'm inside, I'll go barefoot on my wooden floors.
- 24:20But if you can go outside onto your patio, even in the rain,
- 24:25but even just for five minutes.
- 24:28And you could do this at the end of the night. so
- 24:30we're talking about obviously leaving the day behind at
- 24:34the end of the night could you spare yourself two to
- 24:36five minutes stand outside barefoot and
- 24:40just to remind yourself that your entire life
- 24:43does not need solving tonight that sentence
- 24:47alone will lower your stress levels immediately because
- 24:51overwhelmed people tend to mentally carry their
- 24:54whole future at once all the things
- 24:57you're already thinking at bedtime everything you have to
- 24:59do tomorrow how to rectify that relationship how to get by in that meeting at
- 25:06work that's honestly exhausting so I think it's really important to have these
- 25:12reset moments and also another reset is to.
- 25:19Close the chapter on your day and to stop talking about the stressful thing repeatedly.
- 25:25So whatever has happened to you today, if you felt someone was mean to you,
- 25:31if you couldn't complete your workload today, if you've had a day where you
- 25:37feel like there's some things that went wrong,
- 25:40if you keep repeating it
- 25:43and repeating the story and replaying the story or
- 25:46telling everybody at home what happened then you
- 25:50are saying to your nervous system you're you're not safe yet
- 25:53so you're bringing that into your home you are adding
- 25:56that into your energy of the home you are
- 25:58also adding that into the energy of the people in your home so decide at some
- 26:05point even if you want to have one more one more talk about it and decide that
- 26:10once I've said this so sometimes I have this with my family is that we'll say
- 26:14oh I just want to have this one little rant and then I'm going to leave it there.
- 26:18I'm not going to say it anymore. And I decide to consciously pause it,
- 26:22to constantly, I'm sorry, consistently just close that page and close that chapter of the book.
- 26:28So this one changed me a lot.
- 26:32Stop talking about the stressful thing repeatedly.
- 26:35And sometimes what we don't realize, we're keeping that energy alive just by
- 26:40rehearsing it over and over again.
- 26:42Retelling the story, replaying the moment, reliving the same frustration and
- 26:49your nervous system and your brain will respond in the exact same way as if it's still happening.
- 26:54So your cortisol can strike. You can still feel, you know, like you're going
- 27:00a hundred miles per hour.
- 27:02You can, your body can still feel like you are in that moment of panic and stress
- 27:10as if you are still living within that circumstance.
- 27:15So it's really simple. Sometimes closure can look like.
- 27:19I've thought about this enough for today. That's it. This is where it ends.
- 27:23That can be your energy reset too.
- 27:26And now another ritual that goes alongside this that I love is writing things down before bed.
- 27:33So having a mental dump, as I like to call it, especially with a lot of us that
- 27:39our brain gets quite loud at night.
- 27:41So you can keep a note pad by your bed and
- 27:45just have a mental offload so there
- 27:49has there there doesn't have
- 27:52to be any structure to this it's simple
- 27:56you can just write down everything you're
- 27:58carrying everything that's bothering you everything you need to stop looping
- 28:03over just let it come out like verbal diarrhea honestly you don't need a structure
- 28:09you don't need to think about journaling you are just offloading once your pen
- 28:14has hit that paper once Once those words are on the paper,
- 28:17consider them offloaded from your mind.
- 28:21So your brain relaxes when it knows it does not need to hold on to everything.
- 28:26And how lovely that you have, it's like shutting down all the tabs on your computer
- 28:32before you go to bedtime.
- 28:33Shut down those tabs, have a mental offload, and then you have a clean slate.
- 28:38You have a clean screen. So when you go to bed, you know that actually there is room.
- 28:45There is room for new experiences and new mental load to carry.
- 28:51But you have made room for it. It's that simple.
- 28:55And the one thing I've realized recently is peaceful people release quickly.
- 29:02So actually, it's about finding ways like we're talking about today.
- 29:06Things will still happen to you. we're still going to
- 29:09be overstimulated unfortunately but it's how we can
- 29:12release quickly and it's not
- 29:15because you don't need to get upset you will get upset there will
- 29:17be times when you are carrying things throughout the
- 29:20day so it's not about finding a
- 29:23way to not carry that it's about finding a way
- 29:26to release quickly so those more peaceful
- 29:29people they process they feel it
- 29:32and then they let go now that is a skill and
- 29:35I think it's one that takes a little bit of time to practice but it's a work
- 29:41of art but also it's so easy to do any of these rituals I've given you today
- 29:46you could do and you could clear your your mental reset you can have that tonight
- 29:51before you go to bed and I promise you you'll wake up lighter.
- 29:55Now, let's talk about one final physical reset ritual that I absolutely love.
- 30:00It is so simple and it is music and it is movement.
- 30:05Now, I will always shout about it, about how much I feel that if your energy is stuck, you move it.
- 30:14Dance around the kitchen, go for a walk, stretch, play music that reminds you of who you are.
- 30:20Now, I was chatting to one of my clients recently and she was like she didn't
- 30:23have any time. I think she had about 10 minutes in the morning before she had to work.
- 30:29She was telling me she was overstimulated. She was burnt out.
- 30:33She didn't have time for a walk and she was kicking herself.
- 30:35So she was punishing herself as well by saying, I haven't got time for this.
- 30:40And I stopped her and I said, you know what? You've got 10 minutes.
- 30:43I promise you some kind of movement will help you. And I said,
- 30:48don't worry about putting your gym clothes on.
- 30:50Don't worry about putting your trainers on go outside barefoot and
- 30:54stretch shake it off so shake that
- 30:57energy out give yourself some lovely long
- 31:00stretches and just breathe now she
- 31:03called me afterwards she well she left me a voice note actually and
- 31:07she said I cannot believe how much better that made
- 31:09me feel she said I felt like I was reset I feel like
- 31:12I had been for my walk so it's just that movement can can clear that energy
- 31:18for you and it's one of the best most quickest ways to shift your mood so you
- 31:25don't need a spiritual awakening if you haven't guessed that yet this is what
- 31:29I've been saying to you today on this podcast.
- 31:32It could look like music, fresh air, sleep, clean sheets,
- 31:38clean pyjamas, a shower, a little salt scrub,
- 31:43a little bit less scrolling and just a reminder that you're in charge and it's
- 31:47up to you to end the day and it's up to you to tell your mind and body we are ready for a reset.
- 31:54And it's that simple it just means that
- 31:57we are no longer carrying our stresses through
- 32:00each day through the week and through the
- 32:03weekend so that means that we are not turning one
- 32:06hard day into one hard month we're not
- 32:09letting one person's mood become your personality
- 32:12for the week and we are not dragging stress
- 32:15into spaces that deserve peace because let's
- 32:19face it life already gives us enough to carry
- 32:22around doesn't it so why on earth we
- 32:25are deciding to just hang on to everything put everything into
- 32:28our emotional backpack when we do not
- 32:31need to carry that in the morning we deserve to
- 32:34carry no backpack or a very very
- 32:37light one in the morning it is that simple so

- 33:25them a little bit of positivity, I think would be lovely. So.
- 33:29Tonight, I want you to create a little small ritual for yourself.
- 33:33So I have said whether that's the salt or if not, maybe it's the shower.
- 33:38It's the opening of the windows. Maybe it's cleaning your space.
- 33:42Maybe it's the music or maybe it's having a mental dump and offloading everything into your notepad.
- 33:48Just make sure you make it intentional.
- 33:51You are in charge. Tell your body the day is now over. Now that energy alone
- 33:57will change more than people realize.
