Protecting your energy and gaining more peace

Here are some ways that I believe you can protect your energy and feel a sense of peace in your life – hard part is, they’re not easy to do! However, I think they work because they strip things back to the basics and honour the truth under all the chaos…

Make sure your basic needs are met: sleep, water, nutritious foods, shelterDon’t take things personally – it’s not about you, it’s about themOwn less stuffBe okay with people not liking you (this is very hard for me, but it’s a freeing idea) Have a shorter to do listSay no when you mean no and learn not to feel bad or have to explain yourselfRemove the pressure of needing to get everything right and perfect all the time Organise your space so it encourages the right behaviours and feels inspiring Don’t buy foods that aren’t good for you (that way you can’t reach for them when you’re not feeling good within) Curate your social media accounts to show only people and things that inspire and educate Set aside dedicated time for relaxation and boredom Create systems so you have to make less decisions each day, like planning outfits, planning workouts, prepping to do lists etc Have dedicated no-phone time and spaces Set boundaries and honour them, eg I am not okay with being called at 9pm, hearing my family offload their emotions onto me Meditate (or do something gentle and quiet)Ask for help and delegate tasks Focus, prioritise and plan realistically – you can’t do everything at once! If something is playing on your mind, take action towards itWhen nothing else is going right, just read or go for a walk (reading is gentle exercise for the mind and walking is gentle exercise for the body, so both work!)Use your voice and speak your truth

Sincerely,
