Let’s release yesterday and start over
Have you ever woken up feeling the weight of the world on your shoulders—your mind racing with thoughts that just won’t settle? Maybe yesterday (or even the whole week) felt like pure chaos, filled with overwhelm, big emotions, and tasks that felt impossible to keep up with. If so, today is your invitation to pause, breathe, and gently re-direct your life toward something more peaceful and intentional.
Sometimes, our most chaotic days become our clearest mirrors. They show us what’s out of alignment and where we’re craving more ease, purpose, and clarity. Instead of resisting the chaos, what if you used it as a catalyst for change?
Grab a cup of coffee or tea, settle into a quiet space, and let’s walk through a simple process to help you re-focus and reset.
The Power of Reflection: Learning from Yesterday’s Chaos
Picture this: yesterday was a day where everything required your attention—work deadlines, the needs of your family, responsibilities that piled up faster than you could handle. You ended the day drained and overwhelmed.
But here’s the shift:
The day after chaos is a gift.
Reflection allows you to slow down and explore why you felt the way you did. Maybe you’ve said yes to too many things. Maybe you’ve been running on autopilot. Maybe you haven’t paused to truly check in with yourself.
Chaos is simply communicating with you.
It’s asking you:
How do I want my life to feel moving forward?
Using Self-Reflection to Re-Direct Your Life Toward Calm
Before the day fully begins, take a few minutes to reflect. Choose one of your worksheets, grab your journal, and let the words flow.
1. Acknowledge the Chaos
Write down what made yesterday (or the last few days) feel chaotic.
- Was it external—deadlines, demands, interruptions?
- Or internal—feeling scattered, disconnected, or overwhelmed?
By identifying the source, you gain clarity on where you need healthier boundaries, daily rituals, or more intentional support—so you can feel grounded and in control.
2. What Would Calm Feel Like?
Close your eyes and imagine calm:
- Your home feels peaceful
- Your body feels at ease
- Your relationships feel healthy and connected
What does that version of life feel like?
Let that vision guide your intentions for the day ahead.
Client Share
Let me tell you about a client who recently felt completely overwhelmed. Both of her kids had RSV, her husband was on shift rotation as a police officer, and her support system was stretched thin. She had to cancel her personal training sessions and felt like she was slipping backward.
But something powerful happened when she returned:
She picked up a barbell for the very first time. After her first deadlift, she felt empowered, energized, and emotionally lighter. Stepping away from motherhood—just for an hour—gave her space to reset, breathe, and reconnect with herself.
She told me:
“I feel happier in my mind and my body when I leave the house and workout.”
Movement became her gateway to calm. It helped her feel grounded, balanced, and capable. Now she’s learning how to continue that routine independently, building a new rhythm that supports her mental, emotional, and physical well-being.
The Power of Starting Fresh
Today is a new day.
You do not have to carry yesterday’s chaos any further than this moment.
Take a breath.
Reflect with intention.
Choose how you want to feel moving forward.
By taking even a few minutes this morning to reconnect with yourself, you are already shifting your life toward calm.
Take a moment. Re-direct. Find your calm.
With love and light,
