Join me on a Reset Week!

Published 3 months ago • 1 min read

A quick one this week, you will understand why.

I was recently offered to work on the translation of one of my favourite games... I OBVIOUSLY couldn't say no, but it means I’ve been working until late in the evening to fit in the extra work.

What did I notice?

Less sleep = less motivation for self-care.

It's so hard to exercise and eat well when you're tired.

Less sleep = less focus.

Everything is harder when I'm tired, but resisting distractions is the hardest of all.

Next week, I will be done with this side project, and I'm planning on going back to my routine.

I will be doing a reset week, where I'm less flexible than usual with my habits. (I got the idea from Emma Storey-Gordon on Instagram.)

This is to jumpstart my healthier routine, gain momentum, and make it easier to stick to it afterwards.

My 3 reset rules will be:

  • In bed by 10pm (optimal: 9:30)
  • 15 minutes of yoga every morning (optimal: 30 minutes)
  • 3 strength training sessions per week (optimal: 5)

Notice I'm giving myself range targets.

👉 Something that's easily achievable even on the hard days.

👉 And something optimal that I can do if everything goes to plan.

This is because I want the targets to be realistic, but also to push myself to do more if I can.

Wanna join me? Tell me your 3 reset rules and we'll keep each other accountable next week!

You can copy-paste this and reply to this email with your own targets:

Our minds loooove to get fixated on some thoughts. Did I make the right decision? Which path should I choose? Why are they acting this way? If you're feeling stuck, I'd like you to give these a try. First, JOURNAL. You wouldn’t believe how helpful it is to write down your thoughts. Rumination happens when you’re stuck on the same thoughts that you can’t untangle. Your brain rehashes the same thoughts over and over again in the hopes that something will start to make sense. Writing down your...

How can we avoid letting other people's emotions affect our own mental state? I recently had a few people telling me their manager struggles with dealing with their own stress, which puts a lot of pressure on their team. I've been there before and it's not fun. Whether it's your boss or your partner going through a stressful time... it can take a serious toll on both your relationship and your mental health. So how do we avoid letting this happen? It's important to differentiate 3 things:...

Or rather, you can have it all, but not well and at the same time. Career, family, friends, health, hobbies… Something’s got to give. I think burn-out happens when we try to do everything well at the same time. And the sad thing is… when our health collapses, everything else follows. Our lives are made of seasons, and we regularly need to take a step back and decide what we want our priority to be. It needs to be intentional, otherwise other people’s priorities will take over. Journal on this...
