Here’s Your Gentle Guide To A Holiday Reset

The holidays can feel loud—full of noise, expectations, and nonstop movement. This reset is designed to help you slow down, re-center, and move through the season with intention instead of overwhelm.

1. Clear Your Space (5 minutes)

Choose one small area—your desk, your nightstand, your entryway.
Decluttering one place instantly shifts your energy and signals to your mind: I’m resetting.

Prompt:

• What’s one thing I can release right now—physically or emotionally?

2. Do a Mindful Check-In (3 minutes)

Close your eyes. Take three slow breaths.
Place a hand on your heart and simply ask:

• How do I feel today?

• What do I need?

Don’t fix. Just listen.

3. Choose Your Intentional Word for the Week

Pick a grounding word that becomes your anchor through holiday busyness.
Examples: Ease, Joy, Enough, Stillness, Presence, Peace

Prompt:

• Why did this word choose me today? How can I live it out this week?

4. Set a Soft Boundary

A boundary doesn’t have to be a wall—it can be a gentle guideline that protects your energy.

Examples:

• “No emails after 8PM.”

• “I’m saying yes only to what fills me up.”

• “I’m taking 10 minutes for myself before I check my phone.”

Prompt:

• Which boundary will keep me grounded this season?

5. Schedule One Joyful Thing

Not productive, not obligatory—joyful.
Something that reminds you you're a person, not a machine.

Tea in silence.
A holiday movie.
A long shower.
A walk with music.

Prompt:

• What joy looks like for me this week is…

6. End With Gratitude + Release

Write:

• 3 things you’re grateful for

• 1 thing you’re letting go of today

This closes the ritual with clarity and calm.
