Okay… I overdid it. Now what?
Happy Friday, Yellowers 💛
In just three weeks, I’ve been to 2 holiday parties, 1 Christmas market, and a full Turkey trip. So yes… it’s been very festive. 😄
And if you’re anything like me, holiday dinners tend to turn into holiday weeks. Rich food, late nights, travel… and suddenly your body whispers: “Hey… remember me?”
And honestly, I’m not 21 anymore, and I feel it quickly in my energy levels. But I don’t panic. I don’t go into extreme “detox mode.”
I just ease back in. Slowly. With the habits I trust.
What I Don't Do
No trigger foods at home. If it’s not in the house, I won’t think about it.
No obsessing over numbers. Scales, trackers… they can wait. My body knows how to find balance again.
No guilt goals. Anything driven by guilt never lasts.
What I Do Instead
I always start with hydration. Lemon water and nettle tea first thing in the morning. It’s my signal to the body: we’re back.
Then I fix my body clock. Earlier wake-ups. Early daylight for seven days. This resets my energy the fastest.
Next, I get the blood moving. Nothing intense. Just light stretching or mobility to wake the system up.
Then comes mindset. A short Tony Robbins priming meditation. Fifteen minutes, and my whole day shifts.
I support all of this with my foundation supplements: Vitamin D, Omega-3s, and magnesium. Mood, sleep, and inflammation - all supported.
After that, I clean up my food. Savory breakfast. Colorful meals. Lots of fiber. Quality protein.
Only then do I ease back into training. Strength, cardio, or group sessions - booked ahead so I actually show up.
For recovery, I add heat and cold. Sauna and cold exposure for circulation, faster recovery, and that “back to myself” feeling.
I protect my sleep like it’s gold. Early dinners. Consistent bedtimes. No social jet lag. This is where real repair happens.
And finally, I protect my mornings. No meetings before 11 a.m. That’s my time for movement, planning, and clear thinking.
Current status: Letting the sun ☀️ do what it does best :)
Why It Works
Because I don’t start from zero. I return to my baseline - a simple routine that always works.
And I’m clear on my why:
My energy shapes everything I create and give.
When I feel my best, I give my best to my work, my creativity, and the people I care about.
That’s the fundamental reset.
