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.
→ On days like this, I reach for the Cliganic Organic Cedarwood Essential Oil and rub a drop on my wrist or blend it in the diffuser.
→ If I need more stillness, I light this Sea Salt & Sage Aromatherapy Candle — it’s soft, earthy, and doesn’t overwhelm the space.
→ I also love the Sage Soy Candle for its slow, gentle release of scent — perfect for grounding before bed.
→ And if you prefer a beautiful diffuser instead of smoke, I’ve been using this Elegant Fabric Essential Oil Diffuser. It has a soft light and feels like a small ritual just to turn it on.
→ For smoke-based rituals, these Cedarwood Incense Sticks are calming, affordable, and very gentle on the senses.
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.
