Feeling Drained? Try This 3-Step Ritual to Reset Your Energy
We all have those days — when your body feels heavy, your mind slow, and no amount of rest seems to be enough. That foggy, drained feeling can come from emotional overload, overstimulation, or just moving through life without pause.
Instead of pushing through, try resetting with this 3-step ritual to restore your energy and balance your mood:
1. Burn Cedar or Sage
Cedarwood and sage are grounding scents that help clear emotional fog and stagnant energy.
When I feel energetically “cluttered,” I light a stick or a softly scented candle and simply sit for 3 quiet minutes.
The smoke feels like it’s clearing not just the room, but my internal static.
2. Surround Yourself with Green or Deep Earthy Tones
Color affects energy. If you feel empty, nourish your nervous system with deep greens or brown tones — in textiles, nature, or even clothing. It invites the body to come home.
3. Move Gently
Try a slow 5-minute stretch, walking barefoot, or gentle swaying. Movement reconnects you to the present — and brings breath back into the body.
This isn’t about “fixing” yourself. It’s about letting the body remember what safety and calm feels like — with simple, sensory anchors.
