🔄 How to Reclaim Your Energy (Even If You’re Busy)


Start small. A 5-minute ritual in the morning can ground your entire day.
Prioritize sleep. This is foundational—no hacks can replace rest.
Set micro-boundaries. Say no without explaining. Protect your calendar.
Disconnect daily. Screen-free time gives your brain a real reset.
Fuel your body well. Blood sugar crashes = mood crashes. Stay nourished.
Move daily. Gentle walks, stretching, dancing—anything counts.
Seek support. Whether it’s therapy, coaching, or a trusted friend—don’t go it alone.
